  • Patent number: 11660905
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a ball pen tip, in which a spring for biasing a ball is assembled to the ball pen tip, includes punching the ball pen tip by a punch from a rear end of the ball pen tip along a central axis direction of the ball pen tip to form a plastic flow ridge formed by plastic flow upheaving radially inward from an inner peripheral wall surface of the ball pen tip to assemble the spring to the ball pen tip by the plastic flow ridge.

  • Patent number: 11390109
    Abstract: A mechanical pencil includes a writing lead, a chuck unit for chucking the writing lead, and a cushion spring configured to elastically support the chuck unit in such a manner that the chuck unit is retractable with a writing pressure. An output of the cushion spring, in response to a cushion stroke, is non-linear, and a slope of a spring constant, in a region where the cushion stroke is relatively small, is smaller than a slope of a spring constant in a region where the cushion stroke is relatively large.
