Claim Text:
1. A multipurpose finger embracing implement in combination comprising: an integrally made body member shaped in the form of an elongated upside down triangle having a first end; a second end; an elongated flat top side; an elongated downwardly inwardly tapered right side; an elongated downwardly inwardly tapered left side; and an internal open ended circular aperture there through; said first end being conically shaped, said second end being non-conically shaped resulting in said elongated upside down triangle being tapered lengthwise from said second end to said first end, said elongated flat top side with said elongated downwardly inwardly tapered right side and said elongated downwardly inwardly tapered left side in combination providing an ergonomically correct finger gripping section and said second end being formed into a finger receptacle; wherein said internal open ended circular aperture is of a shape and size therein to slideably receive and frictionally retain an ink filled cartridge having a ballpoint tip, whereby, said finger embracing implement is functional as a writing instrument; a spring loaded retraction mechanism comprising: said ink filled cartridge being integrally formed with an attachment clip, said ink filled cartridge with said attachment clip form a flexible hinge, said ink filled cartridge further includes slightly outwardly protruding pegs, said attachment clip includes an upraised protrusion, said multipurpose finger embracing implement further includes a slighted slightly indented recess having therein a first aperture, a second aperture, and a slightly upraised stop element, said first and said second apertures are in open communication with said internal open ended circular aperture, whereby; when said spring loaded retraction mechanism is slideably inserted into said internal open ended circular aperture, simultaneously said ball point protrudes outwardly from within said internal open ended circular aperture, said upraised protrusion snaps into said first aperture, said outwardly protruding peg slides forwardly into said internal open ended circular aperture and said outwardly protruding peg slides forwardly into said second aperture assuming the non-retracted position, whereby; the retraction mechanism is retracted into a retracted position when a when the user wishes to retract said spring loaded retraction mechanism into a retracted position, user simply positions their thumb, finger or object on the underside surface of said flexible hinge and applies slight gentle upward pressure, resulting in flexion of said flexible hinge, which automatically retracts said ball point, said upraised protrusion retracts downwardly from within said first aperture, this action further causing each of the said outwardly protruding pegs to be slideably repositioned in a rearward direction within said second aperture until each of the said protruding pegs make contact with said slightly upraised stop element, whereby; each of the said outwardly protruding pegs and said slightly upraised stop element in combination retain said spring loaded retraction mechanism in a secure manner within said internal open ended circular aperture of said multipurpose finger embracing implement.
