Abstract
A handwriting stabilizer (10) that when held in a trembling head, the hand steadies to allow smooth writing or printing. The stabilizer (10) includes a body having an outwardly extending stabilizing section (14) formed separately from a forwardly located curved gripping section (18) having a bottom surface (20) that is parallel to the writing surface. The gripping and stabilizing sections have a curved ink cartridge bore (32) that extends from the bottom surface (20) of the gripping section, curves upwardly and continues through the stabilizing section (14). Through this bore is inserted a curved ink cartridge (34) having a writing point (28). When in the writing mode, the stabilizing section is pushed forwardly allowing the writing point (28) to project through the bore (32) in the gripping section. Conversely, when the stabilizing section (14) is pulled outwardly, the writing point (28) retracts into the bore (32). The interface of the stabilizer section (14) and the gripping section (18) forms an articulated joint that allows the stabilizer (10) to automatically adjust to either a right or left hand and ergonomically conforms to any holding angle required by the hand.
