Writing implement and holder assembly
First Claim
1. A writing implement and holder assembly comprising an elongated writing implement having a mid-portion of said writing implement provided generally midway between the opposed ends of said elongated writing implement,a retracting cord having one end secured to said mid-portion,a holder having top, bottom and front surfaces, said top and front surfaces defining an elongated ovaloid concave cavity with truncated opposite end portions defining edge supports for said writing implement, said cavity having a central opening for receiving said cord, andmeans for retracting said cord provided inside said housing so as to normally bias said writing implement into a position where said implement is supported by said edge supports in a position where the implement can be readily grasped at its mid-portion by the user as a result of the concave ovaloid shaped cavity provided for this purpose in the holder.

Abstract
A writing implement and holder assembly 10 has a pen 16 connected to a holder 12 by a retracting means, comprising a tie 14 attached to a spring loaded retracting unit 13, for drawing the pen 16 back towards a seat channel 20 in the holder 12 when the pen 16 is not in use. The holder 12 has guide surfaces 22, 24, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 to deflect and orientate the pen 16 as it abuts these guide surfaces under the retractive force for the pen 16 to be automatically received in the seat 20 of the holder 12.
