Abstract
Pen receptacles for storing and easy ejecting of pens without the pens overshooting the receptacles are described. In one embodiment, the pen has a tapered surface which interacts with a pair of gripping arms to modulate the deceleration of an ejecting pen. In a second embodiment using a relatively straight pen, a constriction is added to a chamber of a receptacle to affirmatively decelerate an ejecting pen. In both the embodiments, the pens decelerate to rest with a portion of each pen inside the receptacles. Exposed portions of the pens allow a user to comfortably grip the pens to draw them out of the receptacles.
