Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9011195A1] The invention relates to a writing and drawing arrangement, referred to as a finger pen (2, 3, 4). We have clung to the traditional notion that pens or pencils must be rod-shaped in spite of the fact that this subjects the fine-motor function of the user to unnecessarily stringent demands. A study of the development of the fine-motor function of children proves that a semi-supine grip on rod-shaped pens or pencils can normally not be achieved out before the age of 6-7 years. The invention solves this problem by means of a finger pen (2, 3, 4), prone holding (1) of which is already possible at an age of 2-3 years, which generally makes possible its use in a manner which as regards the fine-motor function is simplified. Pen nib (5) projects from or in the vicinity of sensible centre of feeling (7) of writing/drawing finger (6) and is so angled that the point at which it contacts the writing/drawing surface will be seen by the user. Various alternatives of finger pen (2, 3, 4) are possible, e.g. of open type (2), closed type (3) or contoured shape (4). The invention applies mainly to writing/drawing while holding the pen in a prone position (1).
