Drawing instrument holder

Abstract

The present invention provides a combination drawing instrument holder for holding a plurality of drawing instruments that comprises a support for securing the holder, and a concave receiver extending outwardly from the support wherein the concave receiver includes a plurality of arcuate receivers each of which include a central aperture that extends therethrough for frictionally receiving the drawing instruments therein.

What is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent: 
     
         1 . An improved drawing instrument holder for holding a plurality of drawing instruments during use comprising:
 a support for securing the drawing instruments;   a concave receiver having a plurality of central apertures, each having a sidewall and adapted to receive at least one of the plurality of drawing instruments; and   said central apertures being spaced radially along said concave receiver and having an inner surface associated with said sidewall for frictional receipt of the drawing instruments.   
     
     
         2 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  wherein said support comprises an extendable ring connectably secured to each end of said concave receiver. 
     
     
         3 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 2  wherein said extending ring further includes a visual surface for display of a visual indicia. 
     
     
         4 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  wherein each of said central apertures includes a depending and appending structure. 
     
     
         5 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 4  wherein each of said depending and appending structure form a semicircular arcuate surface. 
     
     
         6 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  wherein said concave receiver is made from an elastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  wherein each of said central apertures includes a receiving membrane extending inwardly from said sidewall. 
     
     
         8 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 7  wherein said receiving membrane is a flexible slit membrane. 
     
     
         9 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  further comprising a pair of elongated straps each extending outwardly from said concave receiver and said elongated straps including complementary mating structure for securing the concave receiver during use. 
     
     
         10 . The improved drawing instrument holder of  claim 1  wherein said support and said concave receiver are fabricated using an injection molded process.
