Abstract:
A chalk stick holder device having a handle portion, a hollow central tube portion, and a gripper portion. The three portions can be joined together to form a long-reaching chalk stick holder for drawing on surfaces while the user remains standing. The gripper portion includes a spring-action receiver for receiving a chalk stick and securing the chalk stick within the gripper end using a locking tooth. Upon pressing the locking tooth, the receiver releases the chalk stick, which can then be replaced with another color of chalk stick stored in the hollow central tube portion.
