Abstract

The pen holder includes a first, second and third cover portions, a connecting part and a fixing unit. The first, second and third cover portions are respectively inserted into a thumb, a forefinger and a middle finger. The connecting part connects the first, second and third cover portions. A first end of the connecting part is fixed to one of the first, second and third cover portions. A force is applied to a second end of the connecting part such that the first, second and third cover portions are closed to each other. A fixing unit fixes to the second end of the connecting part and applies the force to the connecting part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. The pen holder comprising:
first, second and third cover portions respectively inserted into a thumb, a forefinger and a middle finger;
a connecting part connecting the first, second and third cover portions, a first end of the connecting part being fixed to one of the first, second and third cover portions, a force being applied to a second end of the connecting part such that the first, second and third cover portions are closed to each other; and
a fixing unit fixing to the second end of the connecting part and applying the force to the connecting part,
wherein the first, second and third cover portions closed to each other are returned to an original position in which the first, second and third cover portions are spaced apart from each other, when the force is not applied to the connecting part.

2. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third covers comprises a fabric material.

3. The pen holder of claim 2 , wherein the connecting part is a relatively thin wire.

4. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein the first cover portion comprises a first fixing portion, the second cover portion comprises a second fixing portion, and the third cover portion comprises third and fourth fixing portions spaced apart from each other and formed on an outer surface of the third cover portion.

5. The pen holder of claim 4 , wherein the first end of the connecting part is fixed to the fourth fixing portion, and the connecting part extends passing through the first, second and third fixing portions.

6. The pen holder of claim 5 , wherein the connecting part extends covering outer surfaces of the first, second and third cover portions, and the second end of the connecting part extends passing between the first and second cover portions from an inside of the third cover portion.

7. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein the fixing unit rotates along a direction to wind the connecting part so as to apply the force.

8. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein the fixing unit comprises a curved path inside thereof through which the connecting part passes through, and applies a frictional force to the connecting part to fix the connecting part.

9. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein the fixing unit is fixed on the back of hand.

10. The pen holder of claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third cover portions comprises:
an inside cover in which the finger is inserted;
an adhesive part fixed to an end of the inside cover;
a magnet part fixed to outside of the inside cover; and
a cover inside of which the inside cover and the magnet part are disposed.

11. The pen holder of claim 10 , wherein the adhesive part is attached to the magnet part so that the inside cover is fixed to the cover, when the finger is left from each of the first, second and third cover portions.

12. The pen holder of claim 10 , wherein each of the first, second and third cover portions further comprises:
an elastic part disposed inside of the cover and fixed to the magnet part; and
a base fixed inside of the cover and fixed to the elastic part.

13. The pen holder of claim 12 , wherein the base controls a height of the elastic part to change a distance between the adhesive part and the magnet part.
