This clip has a spring member 7 which projects from one side of it and extends longi- 20 tudinally of the pencil. This spring member has a cup 8 at its free end, and a ball 9 is mounted in the cup so as to rotate freely,
The cup is a little larger than a hemisphere,
.. and its edge 10 is pressed inwardly around 2 the ball in the cup so as to hold the ball in the cup, with one side of the ball projecting from the cup towards the pencil. The spring memberholds the ball pressed firmly against the outside of the pocket,and the ball i'acili-- tates the removal of the pencil from the pocket and also its replacement, and'it prc vents the material ofthe pocket from being torn or worn away, and permits the use of a stronger spring member, so that the pencil is held with great security.
