Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
- the rod shape was the same with the predecessors of modern pens such as brushes, gas pens, steel pens etc.
- the object of the invention is to solve the above problem in such a way that using modern technology and materials we have an alternative to the traditional design of pens, suitable for holding the pen in a manner subjecting the user to less stringent fine-motor demands, i. e. a manner of holding the pen which can be achieved at an earlier stage of our fine-motor development.
- the invention referred to below as a finger pen, presupposes holding the pen by a prone grip, which a human being with normal fine-motor development can achieve already at the age of 2-3 years. Hence the invention favours
- a secondary advantage of the finger pen consists in the fact that one obtains a much better view of one's writing, which is especially true in the case of left-handed people.
- Prone holding of the finger pen works best if its pen tip projects from or in the vicinity of the sensible centre of feeling of the writing/drawing finger and faces away from the latter, at such an angle that the pen tip is visible to the eye of the user, down to the surface at which the stroke of the finger pen is to be produced.
- Figs. 1 and 8 are illustrations of three different writing/drawing arrangements, referred to below as finger pens, in which the pen is held in prone manner, 1, with Figs. 2, 3 and 6 showing a finger pen of open type, Figs. 4, 5 and 7 a finger pen of closed type, Figs. 9 and 10 a finger pen of contoured shape, and Fig. 11 a guard for the pen tip.
- Figs. 1 and 8 are illustrations of three different writing/drawing arrangements, referred to below as finger pens, in which the pen is held in prone manner, 1, with Figs. 2, 3 and 6 showing a finger pen of open type, Figs. 4, 5 and 7 a finger pen of closed type, Figs. 9 and 10 a finger pen of contoured shape, and Fig. 11 a guard for the pen tip.
- Figs. 1 and 8 are illustrations of three different writing/drawing arrangements, referred to below as finger pens, in which the pen is held in prone manner, 1, with Figs.
- pen tip 5 towards the user' s finger 6 emanates from or in the vicinity of the sensible centre of feeling 7 of finger 6 and is angled roughly as shown in the attached drawings, i. e. it is angled in a way which by and large corresponds with the normal pen angle when using a traditional pen holding the pen in a semi-supine manner.
- a guard 9 is placed over tip 5 of the pen.
- finger pens 2, 3 and 4 comprise a container 10 with paste, ink etc., directly connected with tip 5 of the pen, its size being maximised irrespective of whether finger pens 2, 3 and 4 are designed with or without
- FIG. 7 show a finger pen 2 of open type 12 and a finger pen 3 of closed type, so designed that inner surface 13 abuts, in ergonomically correct manner, the user's finger 6 and is retained there by means of the pressure and friction between inner surface 13 and the user's finger 6 brought about by the characteristics of the material and the design of finger pen 2 and 3, the closed finger pen 3 being possibly complemented with a clip, buckle etc. 14.
- Finger pen 2 and 3 can be complemented with a support grip 11 (page 8) and can in that case be so designed as to be retained in the manner described above, or with the aid of support grip 11, whereby the above method of retention can be dispensed with.
- Figures 8, 9 and 10 show a finger pen 4 of contoured shape, in which contact face 15 is made to fit the lower part of the user's finger 6.
- the extension of contact surface 15 constitutes a support grip 11 resting against the user's finger 6, by means of which the user retains finger pen 4.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour l'écriture et le dessin, appelé stylo digital (2, 3, 4). Malgré les exigences inutilement rigoureuses qu'elle impose à l'utilisateur, nous avons respecté la tradition voulant que les crayons et stylos soient tubulaires. D'après une étude de l'évolution de la fonction motrice fine chez l'enfant, on sait qu'il ne peut normalement arriver à tenir stylo ou crayon avec la main en position semi-couchée avant l'âge de 6 ou 7 ans. Cette invention résout ce problème grâce à un stylo digital (2, 3, 4) qu'il est possible de tenir avec la paume vers le bas dès l'âge de 2 ou 3 ans, ce qui le rend en général facilement utilisable au regard de la fonction motrice fine. La pointe (5) du stylo est en saillie par rapport au centre sensible du toucher (7) du doigt qui écrit ou dessine (6) et se trouve placée à un angle tel que son point de contact avec la surface sur laquelle on écrit ou dessine reste visible par l'utilisateur. Différents modèles de stylo digital (2, 3, 4) sont possibles, par exemple de type ouvert (2), fermé (3), ou à forme profilée (4). Cette invention s'applique essentiellement à l'acte d'écrire/ de dessiner lorsque le stylo est tenu avec la main en position couchée.The present invention relates to a device for writing and drawing, called a digital pen (2, 3, 4). Despite the unnecessarily stringent demands it places on the user, we have upheld the tradition of pencils and pens being tubular. According to a study of the development of fine motor function in children, we know that they cannot normally manage to hold a pen or pencil with their hand in a semi-recumbent position before the age of 6 or 7 years. . This invention solves this problem thanks to a digital pen (2, 3, 4) which it is possible to hold with the palm downwards from the age of 2 or 3 years, which generally makes it easily usable by sight. fine motor function. The tip (5) of the pen projects from the sensitive touch center (7) of the writing or drawing finger (6) and is placed at an angle such that its point of contact with the surface on which one writes or draws remains visible to the user. Different models of digital pen (2, 3, 4) are possible, for example of the open (2), closed (3) or streamlined (4) type. This invention essentially applies to the act of writing/drawing when the pen is held with the hand in a lying position.
