Abstract

A pen and penholder combination includes a pen portion. An elongated flexible tether attaches on one end to the pen and on another end to a stop. A disk with a hole formed therein is slidingly received on the tether. The penholder is permanently securable to a writing surface. The penholder has a penholder surface with an upper and lower face. A disk securing slot is formed in the penholder surface. The slot is shaped and dimensioned to receive the stop therethrough and to receive the disk therethrough when the disk is oriented substantially perpendicular to the penholder surface. After the disk is passed through the slot and when it is not oriented substantially perpendicular to the penholder surface it abutts against the bottom face of the surface and cannot be passed through the slot.
