201935/2 A Writing Utensil with Two Handles for Writing with Both Hands Simultaneously 201935/3 Description TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention refers to a writing utensil with two handles, whereby the user writes while gripping the writing utensil with two hands simultaneously.

BACKGROUND ART Operations that a person executes using his or her hands are controlled mainly by the brain, and it is also known that such operations are assimilated into the brain. The use of each of our hands is controlled by and assimilated into the opposite side of the brain, in other words, the use of the right hand is mainly influenced by and assimilated into the left-hand side of the brain, and vice versa. These principles are known to all specialists engaged in brain research and in the study of mutual, reciprocal influences between hand action and brain action. Mutual influence between the brain and the hands also exists when we use writing utensils, such as a pen or pencil, mainly when we write or draw. The present invention refers to a symmetric rigid writing device and to a symmetric rigid handle designed to be used with both hands simultaneously.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Drawings Nos. 1 through 3 depict the pen (1).

Drawing No. 4 depicts the handle (10).

Drawings 5 A - 5C describe how to insert a standard pen (11) into the cavity (13) of the handle (10).

THE INVENTION The present invention refers to a symmetric rigid writing device (1) with two arms (2L) (2R), whereby the user grips the writing device (1) with both hands while writing. The writing device (1) can be a pen, a pencil, a marker, and so on, and for convenience sake only we will use the word "pen" here to refer to the writing device (1), subject of the invention. In addition, the word "pen" in this patent application also refers to other kinds of writing utensil such as sticks, that do not include ink or any other painting materials, that are used for 'writing' on a computer touch screen, playing boards and such kind of articles. 201935/3 The first embodiment of the present invention refers to a symmetric rigid writing device (1) that comprises a writing utensil (3), which is actually the body of the writing device (1) and a bottom tip (4), which is the part that actually writes. Two arms (2L) (2R) protrude from either side of the writing utensil (3). The user grips the writing device (1) with both hands, holding one arm (2R) with the right hand and the other arm (2L) with the left hand.

Drawing No. 1 depicts the arms (2R) (2L), which are shaped like a closed arc. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that the arms (2L) (2R) can be made in a large variety of shapes and the depiction of the arms (2L) (2R) in Drawing No. 1 does not limit the scope of the implementation of the invention and its protection. Drawing No. 2 depicts the symmetric rigid writing device (1) whereby the two arms (2L) (2R) are shaped like open arms that are attached to the writing utensil (3) of the writing device (1) and extend outwards, curving upward. In addition, the arms (2L) (2R) can come in a variety of sizes. Drawing No. 3 depicts a writing device (1) with relatively large arms (2L) (2R). 201935/3 The second embodiment of the present invention refers to a symmetric rigid handle (10), a general view of which is depicted in Drawing No. 4. The handle is designed so as to be inserted over a standard writing utensil, such as a pen, a pencil, a marker, and so on. The handle (10) together with the standard writing utensil constitute the aforementioned writing device (1), subject of the first embodiment of the invention. The handle (10) comprises a central part (12) that is shaped like a cylinder with a vertical cavity (13) and two arms (14R) (14L). The standard pen is inserted into the cavity (13). The shape of the cavity (13) and the materials that the handle (10) is made of cause the standard pen to fit snuggly into the handle (10) and thus facilitate the writing operation.

Using the symmetric rigid writing device (1) can solve and even prevent the development of writing-related problems that occur particularly in children. We mention here two examples of such problems: (a) Children who for various physiological and environmental considerations have yet to choose a dominant writing hand; and (b) children who have chosen a dominant writing hand that is not the hand designated for writing in terms of their innate brain lobe designation. These are the underlying causes of many of the problems children have in the acquisition of learning skills. The source of these problems may be diagnosable factors, such as a lazy eye (amblyopia), squinting, and motor skill deficiencies, or latent factors that are unknown even to scientists. 201935/3 Using the symmetric rigid writing device (1), subject of the invention, encourages focusing of vision and creates hand-eye coordination involving both eyes and both hands simultaneously. This prevents the child from choosing the "wrong" hand for writing, which is the main cause of writing problems. Using the symmetric rigid writing device (1) also connects the two sides of the brain and alleviates problems created by using the "wrong" hand. Using the pen symmetric rigid writing device (1), or in other words writing with both hands, enables the child to sit in a symmetric position in which the body is not leaning in any one direction. This contributes to maximum comfort when writing and enhances the writer's mental concentration and focus, leading in turn to more efficient learning through writing.

It is also possible to describe the said two embodiment of the present invention as follows: The first embodiment relates to a handle to which a pen is permanently attached that comprises a handle with two arms (2R) (2L). Wherein each of the said arms (2R) (2L) is shaped like as a curved pole wherein one end of which is attached to the external lower part of the central part of the handle. Thus, the user can grasp the said handle by the said arms (2R) (2L) with both hands and to execute the writing action. FIGS 1 - 3 describe the said handle. 201935/3 In addition, as to the first embodiment, it is clear from the above explanation and also from the figures that accompany this patent application that the arms (2R) (2L) of the symmetric rigid writing device (1) are symmetric and that said writing utensil (3) constitutes a central part of the writing device (1). In addition, it is understood from the above that the arms (2L) (2R) and the writing utensil (3) of the writing device (1) are rigid.

The fact that the device (1) is rigid and symmetric causes the user to hold his or her hands in a symmetric and steady manner while writing, whereby the two hands actually act as a single limb that operates in a harmonious and symmetric manner and the motion of the hands is like the motion of a single limb. This creates an illusion that the two hands are, in fact, a single limb acting in a uniform manner. It is known that the action or movement of one hand activates parts of the opposite side of the brain. Writing with the device (1) in a rigid, steady and symmetric manner activates both sides of the brain simultaneously.

The second embodiment relates to a symmetric rigid handle (10) into which a pen can be integrated that comprises a central part (12) and two arms (14R) (14L). Wherein the central part (12) is shaped like a cylinder with a vertical cavity (13). The vertical cavity (13) has an upper opening and a bottom opening. Wherein each of the said arms (14R) (14L) is shaped like a curved 201935/3 pole wherein one end of which is attached to the external lower part of the said central part (12). Thus, it is possible to insert a pen into the vertical cavity (13), to grasp the handle (10) by the said arms (14R) (14L) with both hands and to execute the writing action. FIGS 5A - 5C describe the said handle (10). In addition, as to the second embodiment, it is clear from the above explanation and also from the figures that accompany this patent application that the handle (10) and its arms (14R) (14L) are symmetric and rigid. The fact that the handle (10) and arms (R14) (L14) are rigid and symmetric cause the same effect described above for the device (1).

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
