Abstract

A magnetic writing instrument designed to allow people with hand tremors to write and draw with increased clarity. Consisting of a stylus attached to a base at an appropriate writing angle. The base houses a magnet and accommodates three caps of varying thickness to match the resistance needed with the users tremors. There is also a metal writing base that interacts with the magnet. The paper or writing stationary is placed between the metal writing base and the writing instrument.

Claims (11)

1. A magnetic writing instrument that offers varying degrees of magnetic resistance to match the amount of hand tremors, for increased writing and drawing clarity comprising:

a) stylus section and base section connected to said stylus section;

b) a magnet that is connected to the base section;

c) a plurality of caps wherein a selected cap is attached to the base section; and

d) a metal base that interacts with the magnet connected to the base section.

2. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 1 , wherein said stylus section is round in shape with a longitudinal groove down one side to accommodate most writing utensils.

3. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 2 , wherein said stylus is cut at the bottom end at an appropriate writing angle.

4. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 1 , wherein said base section is round with a groove where the stylus is attached.

5. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 4 , wherein said base has a bottom surface and said magnet is connected to said bottom surface.

6. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of caps have varying thicknesses, whereby the amount of resistance generated between the magnet and the metal base is altered dependent on the cap selected.

7. The magnetic writing instrument of claim 1 , wherein said metal base is rectangular in shape.
