CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Not Applicable. THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0003]Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004]1. Field of the Invention [0005]The present invention relates to pencil holders and particularly to a pencil or pen holder which comprises an elasticized fabric material formed into a loop that may be sewn to or attached by means of a clip or staple to a hat or cap. [0006]2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 [0007]When working, carpenters and other workers need to mark measurements and often carry a flat carpenter's pencil for this purpose. Often, the pencil is stored in a nail bag or pocket and is either hard to locate when needed or the writing tip becomes broken off while working. The prior art does not adequately address the problem of a convenient safe location for a worker to store a pencil of any size held securely but easy to remove and replace in the storage location. [0008]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 2,490,654, issued Dec. 6, 1949 to Schlesinger, illustrates a head covering provided with a fabric or leather loop positioned near the wearer's temple for receiving a pencil. [0009]Prior art U.S. Patent Applications #20050223525 published Oct. 13, 2005 and #20050108857 published May 26, 2005 by Wartian, show a pencil holding clip which is adapted to attach a pencil or the like to a wearer's cap. The clip is made of a flexible resilient material. The clip has a first channel adapted to receive a lower edge portion of a wearer's cap. The clip also has a slot which is adapted to receive a pencil to be gripped between the sides of the slot. [0010]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 6,792,619, issued Sep. 21, 2004 to Morris, is for an eyeglasses and pencil retaining assembly, which comprises an implement holder to be attached to a cap, hat, clothing or other item. The holder is a single unit, which can be integrated into the construction of the cap, hat, clothing or other item or removably attached to the outer surface of the article. The two sides of the unit are attached and form a loop for receiving a pencil, pen or other elongated implement. The unit additionally contains an adjustable flap for receiving the temple of eyewear, including glasses, sunglasses, or protective eye gear. The outer side of the unit is smooth and is designed to receive identifying or advertising indicia. [0011]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,867,874, issued Feb. 9, 1999 to Simpson, concerns an implement holder attached to a hat or cap. The holder is designed to be affixed to the side portion of the cap proximal the edge. The holder is an integral unit including a first leg, second leg and third leg. The first leg and the second leg are interconnected to form a first jaw or clamp, the first leg to be received between the cap and the head and the second leg to remain outside and flush to the cap. The first leg is resilient and includes means to maintain attachment to the cap. The side of the cap is placed intermediate the first leg and the second leg. The third leg and second leg are interconnected and form a second jaw or clamp which has the general shape of a U-shaped channel. The U-shaped channel is generally parallel to the cap when the holder is affixed thereto. The channel includes a plurality of longitudinal ridges located on the interior channel walls of the third leg and second leg. The second jaw may receive a pencil, pen or other elongated implement. The small ridges help retain the pencil, pen or other elongated implement in positive relation within the second jaw. The third leg is also resilient and imparts a retaining force on the instrument being retained in the channel. The outer wall of the third leg is smooth and is designed to receive identifying or advertising indicia. The holder may also be affixed to the temple of eyewear, including glasses, sunglasses, or protective eye gear. [0012]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. D407,537, issued Apr. 6, 1999 to Simpson, claims the ornamental design for an implement holder for a hat or cap. [0013]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. D412,611, issued Aug. 10, 1999 to Simpson, provides the ornamental design for an implement holder attached to a hat or cap. [0014]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,103, issued Nov. 3, 1998 to Allen, shows a pencil holder that can be detachably mounted to the sweat band area of a soft baseball type cap, and which is preferably formed in one piece of molded plastic. It includes a base section arm, an outwardly and upwardly extending opposing outer arm between which the pencil is frictionally held and an inwardly and upwardly extending opposing inner arm, which in combination with the base section arm, forms a clamp or clip which firmly grasps the sweat band area of the cap. All three arms extend end to end of the holder, forming in essence, two upwardly facing clamps or clips. [0015]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. D478,630, issued Aug. 19, 2003 to Riggins, describes the ornamental design for a pencil clip. [0016]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,602, issued Oct. 5, 1976 to Barry, discloses an implement holder for a safety helmet, which comprises a one piece holder preferably formed of a molded plastic having a first clamp for releasably engaging an edge portion of a safety helmet to detachably mount the holder thereon, and a second clamp projecting outwardly from one jaw of said first clamp for detachably receiving and holding a long slender object such as a pencil or pen. [0017]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,066,154, issued Nov. 19, 1991 to Renaud, indicates a device for fixing a pencil or the like on a security hat of the type comprising a sheath disposed at the base of the hat, constituting a cavity which extends from top to bottom and is open at both ends thereof. The device comprises a generally flat member which is formed of a slight curvature enabling it to rest against the surface of the security hat. A hook is formed from the member enabling to introduce and hold a pencil or an object of the same type. The flat member comprises a tongue intended to be introduced in the cavity by snapping thereby preventing the exit of the tongue once the latter is in position in the cavity. [0018]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,640,743, issued Jun. 24, 1997 to Greene, puts forth a holder for long slender implements such as pencils and pens. The holder comprises a support member which is preferably a thin web having opposed side surfaces. The web includes at least one opening that communicates with each of the side surfaces. Each side of the opening is surrounded by a plurality of flexible fingers which extend away from each side surface in a converging relationship so that the flexible fingers form a hollow frusto-conical shape that is preferably divided into equal segments. A long slender implement inserted through an opening in an outer end of the frusto-conical shape forces the outer ends of the flexible fingers outward. The pressure exerted by the flexible fingers holds the long slender implement securely. The holder may be provided with a resilient clip, an adhesive or a magnetic base for attaching the holder to a variety of suitable surfaces. [0019]What is needed is an elasticized band sewn or clipped to a cap or hat forming a loop to grip a pencil or pen securely and to enable any size writing implement to fit within the stretchable loop.
