Tubular yielding holder for various size pens

Abstract

A pen holder (22) comprising six tapered tubular cavities (24) for holding and sealing various size pens, is formed in a resilient foam (28) cooperating with a skin (30) that surrounds all outside surfaces. The resilient materials are flexible enough to hold pens against the tapered section without loosening. Tapered tubular cavity (24) has a mouth (42) that is connected to a throat (44). Throat (44) leads to a primary gripping zone (46) that connects to a secondary gripping zone (48). The gripping zones have different tapered ranges to accommodate different pen widths. Foam (28) and skin (30) surrounds tapered tubular cavities (24) forming an outside block shape with a face (32) that comprises six mouths (42) exposed in face (32). Face (32) is parallel to a base (34). The block shape comprises two concave sides (36A) and (36B). Pen holder (22) comprises two waist walls (38A) (38B) that are perpendicular to concave sides (36A) and (36B). Pen holder (22) can be held in a human being's hand during operation or can be held by a wall bracket (62). In addition, pen holder (22) has an eraser well (26) that comprises two short walls (56A) and (56B) which are tapered to hold a conventional eraser (78). Eraser well (26) comprises two side walls (58A) and (58B) that are perpendicular to a end wall (60). End wall (60) is parallel to a port (54) which is exposed in face (32) of pen holder (22).
