ABSTRACT:
A writing implement having a built-in illumination system includes a pen-top, a translucent pen-body, and a translucent pen-tip. A battery, an electrical switch and a lamp are housed within the pen-top so that light may be selectively generated by the lamp and directed generally along a central axis within the pen-body portion towards the pen-tip. A marking element is located within said pen-body, partially extending from said pen-tip. A lens is positioned between said lamp and said marking element so that light from the lamp is diverted away from the central axis to the pen-body which guides the received light to the pen-tip. Printed information located on the pen-body is illuminated, as well as a region located immediately adjacent to the pen-tip.
