[0046] This application contains subject matter related to U.S. Pat. No. 6,200,052, issued Mar. 13, 2001, U.S. provisional application No. 60 / 648,376, filed Jan. 28, 2005, and U.S. design patent application No. 29 / 218,314, filed Nov. 30, 2004, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0047] As shown in the embodiment depicted in FIGS. 1-4, stand 10 rests on bottom portion 23, which defines bottom surface 11 ending in outer ring 12. Bottom portion 23 is the combination of all components and surfaces beginning at outer ring 12 and extending downward. Outer ring 12 is the junction between bottom portion 23 and upper portion 22. In various embodiments, a vertical cross-section of the upper portion and the bottom portion from the bottom point of the bottom surface through the center point of the outer ring has approximately a point at the junction of the upper portion and the bottom portion. In some embodiments, this location is a point of discontinuity....

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 60 / 648,376, filed Jan. 28, 2005, and claims priority to U.S. design patent application No. 29 / 218,314, filed Nov. 30, 2004, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates generally to holders, such as, for example, stands, for pens and other writing instruments. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] A typical pen has a barrel that surrounds an ink cartridge and a cap that covers the point of the pen. When closed, the pen often has an approximately cylindrical shape. [0004] When a user finishes with the pen, it may be placed in a desk drawer or, commonly, tossed onto the top of a desk. While various stands and holders exist for pens, those tend to be large and to be pre-positioned on one part of a desk. Although movable, they are not always conveniently located when a user ...
