Abstract:
An improvement in a writing implement for the execution of writing movements by manual manipulation when oriented for such writing movements in a hand of an individual, the improvement enabling selective balancing of the writing implement in the hand of the individual executing the writing movements, the improvement comprising;an elongate barrel extending longitudinally between opposite first and second ends; a grip associated with the barrel for being gripped by the hand of the individual during execution of the writing movements; a writing point adjacent the first end of the barrel; a center of gravity located between the first and second ends of the barrel; a weight associated with the barrel for selective movement in longitudinal directions relative to the writing point among at least several locations available when the writing implement is oriented for writing movements; and a mechanism for placing the weight at a selected one of the several locations available when the writing implement in oriented for writing movements to place the center of gravity at a selected position relative to the grip and thereby establish a balance suited to the hand of the individual manipulating the writing implement during writing movements.
