<p>A holder for a ball pen is in the form of a rectangular box with a sloping top. A socket is formed at the higher end to receive the ball pen (42). The mouth of the socket is formed by a washer with a curved inner surface which forms a guide to direct the pen (42) into the socket. This washer also acts as a retainer for a rubber washer with eight slots radiating from a small central hole.

A slot in the base makes a storage space for notepaper (39).</p> |
