Multiple pen caddy for children and artists

A multiple pen caddy for easily accessing felt tip pens, rolling ball and other pens needing their caps replaced between uses to prevent premature performance deterioration which pens include a barrel having a point at one end, and a cap with a shoulder or collar thereupon,

• said multiple pen caddy comprising a pair of spaced plates, one being a top plate and the other a bottom plate, both of which include a central throughbore;
• the top plate having a plurality of peripheral throughbores each spaced inwardly from the outside edge of said plate,
• the bottom plate having an upper surface having a plurality of circular recesses corresponding in number to the number of peripheral throughbores of said top plate,
• the top plate throughbores being circular and sized in diameter to receive a cap of a pen,
• wherein each recess of the bottom plate is vertically aligned with a respective peripheral throughbore of the top plate;
• a threaded bolt disposed in said central throughbore in said bottom plate and having a shaft passing through the central throughbore of each of said top and bottom plates whereby when one or more pen caps having a shoulder or collar at the open end thereof are disposed in said recesses of said bottom plate, and the open end of said caps are placed in the peripheral throughbores at the time the top plate is placed on said threaded bolt, said top plate will impinge upon said shoulder or collar and thereby maintain a spaced relationship with said bottom plate, such that a user can with one hand insert pens into respective caps, and the caps will be retained between the top plate and the bottom plate, due to cooperation between said caps and said plates to prevent removal of said caps.
