Pencil and pen holder for hat

Abstract

A pencil or pen holder which comprises an elasticized band formed into a loop that may be sewn to or attached by means of a clip or staple to a hat or cap. The elasticized loop grips the writing implement securely and is attached to the rim on a side of the hat for quick and convenient access to the writing implement.

1 . An adjustable secure grip holder device for storing a writing implement along a rim of a piece of head wear, the device comprising:
 a strip of elasticized material formed into a loop and attached to a rim of a piece of head wear, the loop having a center opening smaller than a cross-section of a writing implement so that the writing implement is insertable therein by pushing the writing implement into the loop to stretch the elasticized material which then exerts a tension force on the writing implement to secure the writing implement within the loop and the writing implement is removable from the loop by pulling the writing implement to overcome the tension;   a means of securing the loop to a rim of a piece of head wear so that the axis of the loop opening is parallel to the rim and the loop is formed in a configuration of elasticized material to receive and retain a writing implement within the loop in parallel alignment with the rim for easy access of the writing implement to allow removal of the writing implement by pulling the writing implement out of the loop parallel to the rim for use of the writing implement.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the loop comprises a strip of elasticized material having two ends in overlapping contact with the elasticized material adjacent to one end of the strip contacting the elasticized material adjacent to the other end of the strip to form a closed loop in a middle portion of the elasticized material between the overlapping ends and the means for securing the loop to the rim of the piece of head wear comprises a series of stitches attached through the rim parallel to the edge of the rim and attached through the overlapping ends of the elasticized material to create a permanent elasticized loop attached to the rim of the piece of head wear. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the means for securing the loop to the rim further comprises the series of stitches further attached through at least one of the ends of the strip folded inside the rim with the loop outside of the rim. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the loop comprises a strip of elasticized material having two ends in overlapping contact with the elasticized material adjacent to one end of the strip contacting the elasticized material adjacent to the other end of the strip to form a closed loop in a middle portion of the elasticized material between the overlapping ends and the means for securing the loop to the rim of the piece of head wear comprises at least one staple attached through the rim parallel to the edge of the rim and attached through the overlapping ends of the elasticized material to create a permanent elasticized loop attached to the rim of the piece of head wear. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 4  wherein the means for securing the loop to the rim further comprises the staple further attached through at least one of the ends of the strip folded inside the rim with the loop outside of the rim. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the means for securing the loop comprises a clamp attached to the loop and clamped onto the rim for a removable elasticized loop attached to the rim of the piece of head wear. 
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the clamp comprises a pair of jaws interconnected by a spring loaded hinge. 
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the clamp comprises a molded plastic clamp with two jaws interconnected by a living hinge. 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the clamp comprises a pair of hinged jaws having a means for biting into the rim to secure the clamp. 
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 6  wherein the claim comprises a pair of hinged jaws each having interior ridges on the jaws to secure the clamp to the rim. 
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the strip of elasticized material comprises a smooth exterior fabric coated elasticized material so that the writing implement slides in and out of the loop with low friction.
