Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration, ornamentation and pattern of a ball point pen as shown in the drawings; the ball point pen is symmetrical, has transparent portions, and has a central section and a left end section; the elongated generally cylindrical central section has a curved right end and the left end section has a generally cylindrical left end portion adjacent the central section; the generally cylindrical left end portion has a pattern of generally parallel spaced-apart wavy lines extending around the generally cylindrical portion throughout the length thereof; the generally cylindrical left end portion has a slightly beveled left end shoulder which merges into a conical portion having a circular opening at the left end thereof when the writing tip is in a first retracted position; the generally cylindrical central section has a pair of narrow spaced-apart transparent parallel cylindrical bands adjacent the left end thereof and a pair of spaced-apart transparent crescent-like areas which are situated close to the right end thereof; the pair of spaced-apart transparent crescent-like areas extend across the rear surface and then bend forwardly along the top and bottom surfaces of the generally cylindrical central section and taper to end points; the first crescent-like area closer to the right end of the generally cylindrical central section is larger than the second crescent-like area; the front of the generally cylindrical central section has an elongated bullet-like transparent surface portion which extends most of the length of the generally cylindrical central section and the rear end of the bullet-like surface portion bends around the curved right end of the generally cylindrical central section; the curved right end of the generally cylindrical central section generally follows the curvature of the first crescent-like area; a raised transparent area having forwardly converging sides extends along the curved right end of the generally cylindrical central section and merges into the rear end of an elongated clip which extends axially part way along the length of and spaced above the bullet-like transparent surface portion; the elongated clip has inwardly tapered sides and a slightly arched outer surface; the elongated clip terminates in an inwardly extending protuberance which touches the bullet-like transparent surface portion; the outer surface of the elongated clip has a small generally rectangular raised transparent area situated adjacent the rear end thereof, the generally rectangular raised transparent area having rounded corners, beveled edges, and a central narrow elliptical area extending most of the length thereof; the right end of the generally cylindrical central section has a generally cylindrical axially extending projection with rounded outer corners which is fully extended when the writing tip is in the retracted first position.In the second extended position, the ball point pen has a writing tip extending outwardly from the circular opening in the left end of the conical portion of the left end section of the ball point pen; the generally cylindrical projection is partially extended when the writing tip is in the second extended position.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the design of a ball point pen with the writing tip in a first retracted position;Fig. 2 is a front view thereof;Fig. 3 is a bottom thereof;Fig. 4 is a rear view thereof;Fig. 5 is a left side view thereof;Fig. 6 is a right side view thereof;Fig. 7 is a front view thereof with the writing tip in a second extended position;Fig. 8 is a bottom view thereof with the writing tip in the second extended position; andFig. 9 is a further perspective view thereof with the writing tip in a first retracted position.Diagrams of the design are included.
