Abstract
A writing pen or similar article device has a pocket fastening clip pivoted to a body by means of a connector rigid with and outside the body. A separate leaf spring is connected to the free end of the clip and is connected to the body by means of an opening formed in a device outside of and rigid with the body. The opening is between the pivot of the clip and the free end of the clip so that the clip covers and hides the spring by virtue of a groove in the clip in which the spring is dispersed.
