Abstract

A functioning cell phone having internal electrical components that are housed within a writing instrument, such as within an ink pen or pencil, each of which are fully functional for writing therewith. Thus this combination provides unusual novel results and the cell phone includes numerous optional features as taught herein.

Claims

1. A cell phone and writing instrument in combination comprising:

a housing which is of a shape and size comparable to a writing implement, said housing having a top end, a bottom end, and an elongated body section, said housing having an internal compartment for containment of cell phone electrical components and a writing stylus therein, and said writing stylus protruding from said bottom end when in a writing mode.

2. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1, wherein said top end includes an on/off switch mechanism.

3. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 2 wherein said on/off switch mechanism further includes a light,

whereby:

said light illuminates and/or flashes when said cell phone receives an incoming call.

4. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said bottom end further includes an angled cutout section so as to allow a user to visually see said writing stylus while writing.

5. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said internal compartment further contains a vibration device,

whereby:

said housing automatically vibrates when said cell phone receives an incoming call.

6. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said cell phone electrical components include voice recognition and/or voice actuation.

7. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said housing further includes a data viewing screen for display of messages and/or numbers there through.

8. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said housing further includes a fixedly attached pen clip thereon which functions as an antenna.

9. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 8 wherein said pen clip contains a telescopic antenna therein.

10. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said housing includes an open access compartment for removal and containment of an electric stylus therein.

11. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said writing stylus is in the form of a pencil.

12. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said writing stylus is in the form of an ink pen.

13. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said writing stylus is replaceable and/or refillable.

14. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 1 wherein said elongated body section includes multiple activation buttons thereon.

15. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 14 wherein said multiple activation buttons protrude outwardly from within said elongated body section.

16. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 14 wherein said multiple activation buttons are each of the two-position type.

17. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 16 wherein said multiple activation buttons number at least five comprising:

a first button;

a second button;

a third button;

a fourth button; and

a fifth button;

said first button when activated registers either numeral (1) or (2), said second button when activated registers either numeral (3) or (4), said third button when activated registers either numeral (5) or (6), said fourth button when activated registers either numeral (7) or (8), and said fifth button when activated registers either numeral (9) or (0).

18. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 17 wherein said multiple activation buttons include at least one additional button, and said additional button when activated does not register a numeral but initiates a programmable response.

19. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 18 wherein said programmable response includes automatic activation for recording numerals and/or messages when writing with said writing stylus.

20. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 18 wherein said programmable response includes disabling use of said cell phone, so as to allow operation of said cell phone only during specific hours.

21. The cell phone and writing instrument in combination of claim 18 wherein said programmable response further includes said cell phone only being functional for receiving a pre-programmed number in case of an emergency, and/or said cell phone is only functional for dialing 911.
