MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611106968 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 05, 2026, for Safe Ergonomic Pen With Convertible Grip-Cap And Anti-Choking Design.
Inventors include Deepanshu Kumar; and Annupriya.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a convertible grip-cum-cap writing instrument comprising a barrel and a permanently affixed sliding sleeve configured to selectively operate in a cap mode and a grip mode. In the cap mode, the sliding sleeve encloses and protects the writing tip and engages with a serration coupling and detent arrangement to provide secure positioning and sealing. In the grip mode, the sliding sleeve moves rearwardly along the barrel to provide a contoured ergonomic gripping region for writing. A circular ring guides and retains the sleeve during axial movement and prevents unintended detachment. The invention eliminates the need for a detachable cap, thereby reducing risks associated with loose cap components, while providing convenient one-hand operation. The integrated arrangement further reduces component complexity and combines writing-tip protection, ergonomic gripping, secure positioning, and user safety within a single writing instrument.
