A POCKET HELD INSTRUMENT

摘要

A pocket held instrument, for example, a pen, is provided with a clip (2) that can be reciprocated between a retracted and an extended position by rotating a knob (7) arranged above the clip. In its extended position, the clip (2) can also be pivoted to allow it to accommodate different thicknesses of pocket material. This is achieved by providing the clip with a slide member (4) which preferably is received between two opposed guide surfaces (5, 6) within the instrument, one of which is moveable to accommodate the pivotal movement of the clip.
