ABSTRACT:
An implement holder. The implement holder is detachably affixable to a pre-selected substrate such as a glass window, mirror, or other suitable surface, for removably securing a pre-selected elongated implement such as a pen or pencil in a desired location. The devices are adjustable in multiple axes, so that in spite of various angular situations encountered with respect to one or more pre-selected substrates, the implement holder can be easily adjusted to secure a selected implement, such as a pen or pencil, in a desired orientation. The implement holder uses as a detachable securement device a flexible elastomeric suction cup. The suction cup has an attachment portion that is detachably affixable to the pre-selected substrate. Connected to and opposite the attachment portion a support portion. A fastener is affixed to the support portion to adjustably and slidably secure an implement cradle to the support portion. The implement cradle is preferably configured with a generally "C" shaped thin wall body, such as may be achieved by utilizing an arcuate portion of a short section of hard copper tubing. The implement cradle includes a preferably centrally disposed adjustable slide portion. The adjustable slide portion of the implement cradle and a frictional surface portion of the fastener are slidably engaged, so that the implement cradle is adjustable, both slidably and rotatably, but is frictionally secured to the support portion by the fastener. In a preferred embodiment the fastener is a screw and is adjustably affixed to the support portion with a threaded shaft portion. The screw has a head which a frictional surface at the rear of the head that is adapted for frictional engagement with the adjustable slide portion of the implement cradle. The implement holder provides a unique, simple, easy to use device for holding implements such a pens and pencils in a convenient location.
