Abstract
The present invention is a combined pencil sharpener and pencil stowage apparatus. The invention comprises a body, a pencil stowage compartment formed within the body for containing a tip of a pencil, and a separate pencil sharpener compartment formed within the body, the pencil sharpener compartment containing a pencil sharpener. Unlike previous inventions, the present invention provides a single body that has these two separate pencil stowage and pencil sharpener compartments formed therein. The pencil stowage compartment and pencil sharpener compartment are preferably positioned in a parallel relationship to minimize the length of the pencil/apparatus when the pencil is stowed in the apparatus, therefore making it easy to be stored in the user's pocket.
