DEVICE FOR HOLDING WRITING INSTRUMENTS

摘要

A device for holding writing instruments has an elongated supporting member (1) having a predetermined direction of elongation, a plurality of holding members (2) arranged on the supporting member (1) along the direction of elongation of the supporting member and each having at least one receptacle (3) for receiving at least one writing instrument, each of the receptacles (3) being elastically expandable so that a writing instrument can be introduced in the receptacle and then contractible so as to reliably retain the introduced writing instrument in the receptacle and then contractible so as to reliably retain the introduced writing instrument in the receptacle, the holding members (2) being spaced from one another by a distance which is smaller than a size of each of the receptacles (3) in the expanded position as considered in the direction of elongation of the supporting member (1), so that a writing instrument can be inserted into the receptacle but cannot be inserted into a space between the holding members.
