Abstract
Abstract The present invention comprises a writing implement holder having a front plate provided with a holder yoke and a clip portion contiguous with and cooperably associated with the front plate, whereby the implement may be attached to a book. The holder yoke is advantageously tapered for proper clip reception and retention. The writing implement holder includes resilient means having separated resilient portions which cooperate with respective ones of writing implements inserted in the holder so as to frictionally retain the same in place in stored position. Independent operation of the individual resilient portions preclude insertion of additional implements from affecting retention of implements previously stored in the holder. Individual portions of the resilient means may comprise fingers, resilient pad portions, or equivalent means.
