ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There are many types of multiple pointed pens to deliver different colors. One such pen has either three or four cartridges in order to selectively write with any of the cartridges. Unfortunately, such pens are bulky, and are not subject to a comfortable grip. Furthermore, one color of the group of cartridges always seems to be stuck and will not write. One profession that uses such pens is the nursing profession.
Anyone who has been in a bank has seen a pen which is joined to a base with a flexible, generally unbreakable connector. Such pens are commonly only in one color, and I have seen the tethers broken and the pens missing. Generally, the tethers are made of only bendable materials so that they may be moved to any position. They are not susceptible to easily writing in any position.
I have not seen any pens with a plurality of cartridges that can be moved selectively into position, and which the pens are anchored to the person using them. They never seem to be where they are wanted.
I propose a multi-colored pen, which is clipped to the person using it. A nurse, for instance, may pin the anchor for the pen to a part of her clothing, such as the neckline of a dress. In one form of my invention, there is a mechanical connection for locking successive anchors together so that there can be four or six or any number of writing colors available. As a result, a nurse, for example, may carry a large number of colors for writing, all of which are linked to a position near her person.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
It is a general object of the present invention to provide a pen capable of writing in a plurality of colors, which can be duplicated, which is connected by a flexible tether to the user. The tether is preferably retractable, so that it does not get in the way, yet it is available for use at a plurality of stations.
It is further an object of the present invention to provide a yolk-shaped pen holder which holds a pen which quickly and readily can be pivoted to either of two writing positions, and is secured to a base locked to the wearer's clothing by means of an integral pin.
In achieving the foregoing and other objects of the invention, the pen consists of two pens having different colors or different types of writing ink. The pen or pens are secured to a pivotable central joint in a yolk which is attached by a flexible tether to a fixed position on the wearer's clothing. The fixed position is provided with dovetails at opposite ends, and further dovetails can be latched to one another so that the wearer has as many different color inks as he wants. The base or anchor piece is each provided with a safety pin or the like for securement to the clothing, and therefore, cannot be lost or stolen away. Furthermore, the forty inch nylon cord which serves as a flexible connector is attached to a reel assembly in the locking base so that it can be extended from almost nothing to forty inches for handy writing. Furthermore, the base can be of steel so that a name of the person wearing the pen may be attached for his identification.
