Abstract
A pair of styli are arranged side by side and positioned over recording materials. The styli can be adjusted to assume the position of a hand held writing instrument if required or a simpler position if adequate. The support for the stylus pair is mounted on a primary and secondary parallelogram assembly arranged to permit the styli to move in a direction parallel to the recording material attached to the base. Different arrangements of secondary parallelograms permit the styli to move in a direction perpendicular to the recording material. In use a student grasps one stylus and the teacher the other. The student is then able to follow all the motions involved in forming the pattern and thus enable his arm and hand muscles to be exercised, as well as develop kinesthetic patterns within the muscle groups.

2. An educational apparatus for patterning manual movements, comprising:
- a pair of styli spaced an adjustable distance apart and adjustable in angle about a transverse support rod which has fixed to itself a set of dowel pins pivotally connected to the first end of;
a pair of secondary arms, the second end of each arm having a tapered slot hole to permit pivotal connection and freedom for the first end of the arm to move in a vertical direction, the second end of each arm is pivotally connected to a first pair of dowel pins on;
a coupling plate and a second pair of dowel pins, one pin of which is common to the first pair on the coupling plate, is pivotally attached to;
a pair of primary arms having holes at each end of each arm, the holes furthest from the coupling plate being pivotally attached to;
a support, having a pair of dowel pins and attached to;
a base having a plane surface, to which is attached;
a recording material for making the pattern formed visible.
