ABSTRACT:
A writing instrument, such as an ink pen or the like, having a body having first and second ends, with a ball point or other writing tip associated with the first end. The body has a slot formed along its length to accommodate a flexible magnification lens configured to slidingly engage the slot so as to allow the user to urge a portion of the lens outside of the body of the pen via a button or the like mounted adjacent to an end of the lens. The lens may be formed in a fresnel configuration, and is mounted such that the second end of the lens remains in the slot so as to support the portion of the lens removed from the slot. The removed portion is configured to suspend from the writing utensil body, in the vicinity of the first end, so as to allow the user to view written indicia on a surface adjacent to the first end of the utensil. An alternative embodiment of the invention contemplates an adapter for an off-the-shelf writing utensil in the form of an enveloping sheath configured to convert the writing utensil to include the magnification system of the present invention.
