- Tension due to poor grip and awkward writing position causing hand strain, blisters and even structural problems in the hand.
- Poor posture as the individual may bend around the page to view their handwriting.
- Poor visibility as the individuals fingers slip to the bottom of the pen as they write faster thus obstructing their field of vision.
- Until now there has been little alternative but to stick with traditional writing instruments. To overcome this problem Bao Shen Liu invented the Yoropen.
Here's six handy tips toward improving the way you write.
The solution is in the design
With Yoropen the solution is in the design - Yoropen's unique offset nib ensures pressure is exerted directly above the pen tip thus reducing writing strain, increasingly visibility and preventing both a poor grip and an awkward writing position. The grip is adjustable making the pen perfect for both right- and left-handers. The rotating barrel allows for individual drawing effects.
Children who have discovered the benefits of the Yoropen have lavished praise on the clever invention. Lior, 11 says: "Now I sit straighter as I found it more comfortable" and Max, 11 says: "It has improved my writing a lot, and also the way I can hold the pen."
The Yoropen has also received praise from world-renowned handwriting expert, Dr Rosemary Sassoon: "The Yoropen's innovatively designed barrel allows a ballpoint to work at a comfortable angle. It could be of real benefit to those with real writing problems caused by arthritic hands, writer's cramp, stroke and other medical conditions."
Winner of the Gold Medal at the Geneva 2002 Salon International Invention Awards, the world's largest and most prestigious inventions convention, the Yoropen is now sold world-wide and is fast becoming the people's favourite. It was invented in Taiwan by Bao Shen Liu, whose aim was to create a distinct alternative to the conventional pen, providing people with real choice.
Ever thought that the pen or pencil you were using didn't somehow feel right? Or that your fingers were slipping towards the tip causing tension and even blisters or in some cases, muscle problems in your hand?
Were you constantly leaning over your pen to see what you were writing? Giving yourself back and shoulder pain as well as creating a bad posture?
Maybe as a child your handwriting was poor and this gave you a lack of self confidence.
Yoropen is the solution to improving your handwriting skills. Bao-Shen Liu has invented Yoropen not to compete with other designers but saw it as an instrument that would improve handwriting. Yoropen won a Gold Medal at the 2002 Geneva Invention Awards.
1. Finger Support
The offset portion prevents fingers from slipping down towards the pen tip; thus improving posture, saving energy and reducing writing strain.
2. Visual Space
The angle of the pen ensures that the writer can clearly see what he/she is writing. Fingers do not obstruct the field of vision.
3. Adjustable grip
The Yoropen's tripod grip can be rotated enabling the writer to find his/her preferred writing position.
Reaction to this original, funky, futuristic pen has been terrific. Yoropen has been tested, endorsed by professionals and proven to reduce writing strain. Of benefit to students and teachers, lefthanders, arthritic fingers and many with special needs.
With the nib offset to the shaft of the pen you can clearly see what you are writing. So the Yoropen is also ideal for left-handed users since they will not smudge their writing. Fingers are prevented from slipping down to the point of the pen or pencil helping to establish a correct and comfortable grip. Children love the feel of the grip and the smart, bright colours appeal and give a sense of fun!
Unique finger support
Yoropen has a unique finger support system that stops your fingers slipping towards the tip. Instead of having to bend over the page to see what you have written you can see as you are writing due to the unique angled nib therefore it is perfect for left-handed writers because you can see what you are writing without tilting your head. Drawing lines or using templates is more precise. Due to the offset design you can write in any position.
And guess what? This is a pen that will not roll off the table!
