Abstract
An adapter for attaching a writing instrument or other similar instrument to a person's hand. In one embodiment, the configuration of the adapter allows the writing instrument to be attached to either the thumb or index fin er in such a was that, when the writing instrument is not in use, the writer can still use the hand for office tasks, such as typing on a standard keyboard or using a mouse, without interference from the writing instrument. When the user is ready to use the writing instrument, the writing instrument will move to its original position. Meanwhile, the writing instrument remains handy so that the user does not have to waste time looking for a writing instrument when he or she is ready to resume handwriting or drawing.
