Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for supporting a writing instrument.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a company or office, a white board is generally installed in a conference room. When writing on this white board, a writing implement typically represented by a marker pen is used. The writing implement contains water-based or oil-based ink, and is used by removing the lid of the writing implement when writing, and closing the lid after use. If the lid is left for a long time with the lid removed, the ink inside the writing implement dries quickly because it dries quickly, making writing impossible.

[0003] Further, components of the ink include substances that are not desirable for the human body, such as alcohols, and have a strong odor. For this reason, it is necessary to cover immediately after using these writing instruments. Furthermore, in the case of writing implements with a reduced amount of ink, the writing out of the ink may be poor and the characters may be difficult to see when writing, and the writing part of the writing implement may face down during storage after use. It is necessary to keep it so that it concentrates on the writing part as a whole. On the other hand, a new writing implement has abundant ink, and the ink may come out too much during writing. In such a case, it is necessary to store the ink so that the writing portion of the writing instrument faces upward during storage, and the ink is entirely away from the writing portion. In addition, there are various kinds of colors for writing implements, and it is also required that a desired writing implement can be immediately taken out.

[0004]

However, the necessity of writing on a white board using a writing instrument often occurs at a meeting, a presentation, or the like. It is often filled in while holding. Then, the operation of removing the lid of the writing instrument becomes difficult with one hand, and once the lid is removed with difficulty, the lid may be left without being used even after use. For this reason, inconveniences such as a writing part being dried and being unable to be written immediately, and a chemical substance or odor contained in the ink component being spread in the room are caused. In addition, writing instruments are also generally placed casually in the groove provided at the bottom of the white board, and when a large number of writing instruments are scattered on a fairly wide white board, it is impossible to find the desired writing instrument immediately. There are inconveniences. Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a writing instrument support device that allows a user to easily open and close the lid with one hand, and is excellent in the storage state of the writing instrument after use.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a writing instrument support device in which the location of the writing instrument is clear and which is easy for a user to find.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a writing instrument supporting apparatus including a connecting portion connectable to a surface of a base, and an opposite side of the connecting portion to the surface of the base. Is provided with a cylindrical portion. The connecting portion plays a role of stably connecting the writing instrument support device to the surface of the base.
The tube supports the writing implement lid. Further, a holding portion is formed inside the cylindrical portion. When the writing instrument is pulled out, only the writing portion of the writing instrument comes off, and the holding section plays a role of holding the writing instrument lid without coming off. In addition, since the writing implement can be installed on the surface of the base using the writing implement support device, the installation location of the writing implement becomes clear, and the target writing implement can be easily found.

According to the writing instrument support device of the present invention, the holding portion of the writing instrument support device has a holding member made of an elastic body inside the holding portion. The elasticity of the holding member makes it possible to hold lids of a plurality of shapes or sizes. Therefore, it can correspond to the marker pen lids sold by various manufacturers.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, when the connecting portion is connected to the surface of the base, the cylindrical portion of the supporting device for the writing implement is provided at the connecting portion in a state inclined with respect to the surface of the base. Have been. Therefore, by mounting the writing implement upward or downward depending on the situation, it is possible to adjust the ink output condition at the time of use.

According to the writing instrument support device of the present invention, the cylindrical portion of the writing instrument support device has angle changing means for changing the inclination with respect to the surface of the base. This angle changing means enables the direction of the writing implement mounted on the writing implement support device to be changed. Therefore, when it is desired to change the direction of the writing implement, the user can save the trouble of temporarily removing the writing implement supporting device from the surface of the base and reconnecting it.

According to the writing instrument supporting device of the present invention, the connecting portion of the writing instrument supporting device has a suction cup for connecting to the surface of the base. The sucker stably fixes the writing instrument support device to the surface of the base. Therefore, when the user removes the writing implement, it is possible to prevent the entire writing implement support device from coming off the surface of the base.

According to the writing instrument support device of the present invention, the connecting portion of the writing instrument support device has a magnet for connecting to the surface of the base. The magnet stably fixes the writing instrument support device to the surface of the base. Therefore, when the user removes the writing implement, it is possible to prevent the entire writing implement support device from coming off the surface of the base.

According to the writing instrument support device of the present invention, the connecting portion has a plurality of cylindrical portions of the writing instrument support device. Therefore, a plurality of writing tools can be supported simultaneously.
