ABSTRACT:
A pen of the type having a tubular housing with an aperture at one end thereof, a long tubular flexible ink reservoir dimensioned to fit within the housing, a writing tip mated to the ink reservoir and dimensioned to fit through the housing aperture, the improvement comprising a shaping of a lower section of the housing adjacent the apertured end thereof to reposition the writing tip relative to the longitudinal axis of an upper straight section of the housing, the shaping taking the form of a first portion which extends away from the longitudinal axis at a first angle and having a first length and a second portion contiguous with the first portion having a second length and extending back towards the longitudinal axis at a second angle relative to the first portion, the first and second lengths and the first and second angles being selected to position the writing tip at a preselected distance from the longitudinal axis. The shape of the lower section of the pen housing positions the writing tip at a steeper than usual angle to the surface of the paper while still allowing the user to maintain a comfortable grip upon the pen. In use the writing tip is angled towards the body-center of the user.
