Abstract
A writing implement with storage enclosure disclosed is adapted for attaching to a surface of, or being integrated with, a range of objects for convenient access. The writing implement is length-compressible for compact retention in an associated storage enclosure, and extendable for greater ease of use. Retained in the storage enclosure, the top of the writing implement is flush, or nearly flush with the opening of the storage enclosure.
Claims30
A writing implement with storage enclosure for compact storage and releasable retention of an extendable writing implement having a selectable, compact, first shortened state and a second extended state suited for writing by a user, comprising:
- a writing implement having
- a writing cartridge operably arranged within
- a lower body portion, and
- an upper actuator portion in longitudinal telescopic relation to said lower body portion, adapted for selectable actuation of said writing implement from a first shortened state suited for compact storage to a second extended state suited for writing by a user,
- a storage enclosure having
- a flat first side adapted for attachment to a surface,
- a second side adjoining said flat first side, and
- a third side adjoining said flat first side opposite said second side,
- a fourth side adjacent and connecting said second side and said third side,
- an end panel adjoining said flat first side, said second side, said third side, and said fourth side in perimeter connection,
- said storage enclosure further defining an aperture for receiving said writing implement, said aperture having a generally cylindrical inner surface extending lengthwise a substantial portion of the length of said storage enclosure and aligned axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said storage enclosure, said aperture adapted to receive and retain said writing implement with said lower body portion and said writing cartridge fully enclosed within said aperture with said upper actuator portion substantially flush with said aperture for storage in a first shortened state of said writing implement,
- wherein said upper actuator portion of said writing implement partially extends from said aperture upon selectable actuation by a user from a first shortened state to a second extended state, thereby facilitating removal of said writing implement from said aperture by a user.
A writing implement with storage enclosure for compact storage and releasable retention of an extendable writing implement having a selectable, compact, first shortened state and a second extended state suited for writing by a user, comprising:
- a writing implement having
- a writing cartridge operably arranged within
- a lower body portion, and
- an upper actuator portion in longitudinal telescopic relation to said lower body portion, adapted for selectable actuation of said writing implement from a first shortened state suited for compact storage to a second extended state suited for writing by a user,
- a storage enclosure having
- a flat first side adapted for attachment to a surface,
- a second side adjoining said flat first side, and
- a third side adjoining said flat first side opposite said second side,
- a fourth side adjacent and connecting said second side and said third side,
- an end panel adjoining said flat first side, said second side, said third side, and said fourth side in perimeter connection,
- wherein said flat first side, said second side, said third side and said fourth side are adapted for integration with manufactured articles,
- said storage enclosure further defining an aperture for receiving said writing implement, said aperture having a generally cylindrical inner surface extending lengthwise a substantial portion of the length of said storage enclosure and aligned axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said storage enclosure, said aperture adapted to receive and retain said writing implement with said lower body portion and said writing cartridge fully enclosed within said aperture and said upper actuator portion positioned substantially flush with said aperture for storage in a first shortened state,
- wherein said upper actuator portion of said writing implement partially extends from said aperture upon selectable actuation by a user from a first shortened state to a second extended state, thereby facilitating removal of said writing implement from said aperture by a user.
In a writing implement with storage enclosure adapted for integration within an object and for releasable retention of an extendable writing implement having a first shortened state and a second extended state, the writing implement with storage enclosure comprising:
- an extendable writing implement,
- a storage enclosure having
- a flat first side adapted for integration within binding and cover assemblies, and
- an aperture for receiving said extendable writing implement, said aperture defined generally cylindrically and extending lengthwise a substantial portion of the length of said storage enclosure, aligned axially parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof, having compressible material incorporated with an inner surface of said aperture, and
- a plurality of sections of lesser diameter adapted for guiding and retaining said extendable writing implement,
- said aperture further dimensioned to receive, substantially flush within said aperture, said extendable writing implement in a first shortened state, and
- wherein said extendable writing implement partially protrudes from said aperture in a second extended state, facilitating removal.
