Abstract

An implement, comprising a working portion which can be selectively exposed for use or covered when not in use, is pivotally connected to a support. Upon actuation of a release, the implement automatically moves from a first configuration wherein the working end is disposed at least partially within a support, to a second configuration wherein the working end is exposed. The support and the working portion are pivotally connected via at least one linking arm. Upon the selective actuation of a release, the writing portion rotates from a first configuration to a second configuration. The movement is preferably spring-biased and damped. The support may also include a pocket clip. The pocket clip may be of appropriate size to allow printing of a logo or any other desired indicia. Items include writing implements, and various other usable implements, such as a flashlight, a toothbrush or a laser pen.
