The pen holder includes a first, second and third cover portions, a connecting part and a fixing unit. The first, second and third cover portions are respectively inserted into a thumb, a forefinger and a middle finger. The connecting part connects the first, second and third cover portions. A first end of the connecting part is fixed to one of the first, second and third cover portions. A force is applied to a second end of the connecting part such that the first, second and third cover portions are closed to each other. A fixing unit fixes to the second end of the connecting part and applies the force to the connecting part.

Pen holder

A highly-oriented acrylic staple fiber prepared by simple extrusion of a PAN/H.sub.2 O melt in a gel crystalline state without spinning is provided. The acrylic fibers according to the present invention are characterized by the following properties: a degree of orientation between 80 and 97% observed by an X-ray diffraction; a length distribution ranging from 5 to 500 mm and a thickness distribution ranging from 5 to 500 .mu.m, a length to thickness ratio ranging from 100 to 100,000 determined by a scanning electromicroscope; a tensile strength of 10 to 70 kg/mm.sup.2 ; an initial tensile modulus of 300 to 1,500 kg/mm.sup.2 ; an elongation of 5 to 20%; and a specific surface area of 1 to 50 m.sup.2 /g.

A new, pulp-like, acrylic short fiber having excellent heat- and chemical-resistance is provided. The fiber has a thickness distribution of 0.1 .mu.m to 50 .mu.m, a length distribution of 1 mm to 20 mm, and a thermal transition temperature (Tg) of above 200.degree. C. The fiber is produced by heating a mixture of polyacrylonitrile and water of about 5% to 100% by weight to temperatures above hydration-melting temperature under seal to an amorphous melt; cooling the resulting amorphous melt to temperatures between the melting and the solidifying temperatures of the melt to form a supercooled melt; extruding the resulting supercooled melt to give extrudates; heat-stabilizing the resulting extrudates at temperatures between 180.degree. C. and 300.degree. C. for 1 minute to 4 hours after drying and drawing; and cutting and beating the resulting heat-stabilized extrudates into an appropriate size.
