Abstract
Abstract A writing materials holder for use in a typewriter having a relatively hard platen, to hold writing materials which have stencil portions, such as foil, which are permanently deformed or embossed with the impression of the type when struck thereby. The holder is laminated to form a pocket between a pair of layers and within which is received a thin, flexible and resilient cushioning sheet which facilitates deforming the foil when typed. A lip is formed along the pocket for receiving and holding writing materials in juxtaposition over the cushioning sheet for movement about the platen with the holder. In the preferred form of the invention, the holder comprises a cylindrical member positionable about the platen of the writing machine and of a diameter greater than the diameter of the platen so as to loop outwardly about the platen. The sides of the pocket at the edge of the cylindrical member are open to permit replacement of the cushioning sheet.
