Abstract: A mechanical pencil, includes an external cylinder, a lead delivery mechanism disposed in the external cylinder, the lead delivery mechanism having a lead-fastening chuck which fastens a lead and moves back and forth in the external cylinder to deliver the lead toward a front end of the external cylinder, a lead holder disposed before the lead delivery mechanism in the external cylinder to gently hold a lead, and a guide member arranged between the lead-fastening chuck and the lead holder in the external cylinder and always urged backwardly toward the lead-fastening chuck to protect a lead portion between the lead-fastening chuck and a lead holding portion of the lead holder.

Abstract: A double-chuck mechanical pencil having a front lead chuck for holding a lead and a back lead chuck for advancing a lead which is composed of a barrel, a lead tank connected to the back lead chuck, an adapter attached to the back of the lead tank which is restrained from rotation relative to the barrel and axially movable, and a rotary eraser projecting mechanism including a support member or an eraser support structure including a support member that is restrained from rotation relative to the adapter and detachable from the back portion of the adapter.

Abstract: A clip mounting structure for providing a large amount of rocking of a clip without requiring any spring or the like, includes a clip which has a base which is inserted into a groove within a cap sleeve, a clip body which is located outside of the cap sleeve and extends substantially in parallel to an axial direction, and mainly has a surface substantially orthogonal to a radial direction, and a coupling portion which extends in the radial direction, for coupling the base to the clip body. When the clip is caused to rock by holding the clip body, an angle between the coupling portion and the base becomes larger to deform the clip. Since the coupling portion is not restricted by the cap sleeve, the coupling portion can become deformed greatly. Also, the cap sleeve prevents the coupling portion from rolling.

Abstract: A writing utensil includes an external cylinder, a lead feeding mechanism housed in the external cylinder and propelling a lead forward, and a rear-end knocking member movable in conjunction with the lead feeding mechanism in an axial direction. The rear-end knocking member is integrally formed and includes a cylindrical section, a clip section, and a connecting section. The cylindrical section has a central hole into which the rear end of a lead case of the lead feeding mechanism is inserted and in which the rear of the cylindrical section protrudes from the rear end of the external cylinder. A clip section extends outside and along the external cylinder in an axial direction and a connecting section passing through a stem hole formed in the rear side face of the external cylinder for connecting the cylindrical section and the clip section together.

Abstract: A mechanical pencil, includes a barrel, a lead feeding mechanism disposed in the barrel to tighten and feed a lead, an operating part for causing the lead feeding mechanism to feed the lead, and holding portions for holding the lead being provided in at least two positions between the lead feeding mechanism and a tip end of the barrel spacedly in the axial direction.

Abstract: A knock-type liquid container includes a body having a tank that holds a liquid, and an outlet provided at a forward end, a piston in the tank, and a piston-advancing mechanism having a knocking body that projects rearwardly of the body for advancing the piston forwardly when the knocking body is knocked in an axial direction of the container. A rearward end surface of the rear cap that forms a rear end surface of the container, except the knocking body is not normal to the axial direction, but makes an angle other than an approximate right angle with the axial direction. A distance between a rear end surface of the knocking body at a non-knocking position and a rearmost portion of the rearward end surface of the container, except the knocking body, is less than a stroke of the knocking body required for advancing the piston.

An engaging-lock receiving protruding portion including an engaging-lock receiving portion at its front end is formed on the rear surface of a non-proximal end of a clip with its proximal end fixed to the external cylinder. A guide hole is formed in the external cylinder so as to correspond to the engaging-lock receiving protruding portion. A cam portion for abutting on the engagingly-locking protrusion is formed on a knock bar integrated with a knock body.

Abstract: A double-chuck mechanical pencil has an outer tube, a tip fitting provided in the front of the outer tube, a tip chuck located at the tip of the tip fitting for holding a writing substance (e.g., a lead) and urged rearward in the axial directed, and a delivery chuck for delivering the lead. At least one of the tip chuck and the delivery chuck is formed of a synthetic resin material including polyoxymethylene.

Abstract: A coat transfer tool includes a case having a plate-shaped part, a feed reel provided in the case and wound with a coat transfer tape, a takeup reel provided in the case, for taking up the carrier tape fed by the feed reel, and an applying strip disposed on the path of the tape running between the feed reel and the takeup reel and pressed against a surface of a substrate. An elastic pressing arm protrudes from the plate-shaped part of the case to be kept in contact with a surface of the applying strip and to elastically press the applying strip in a direction substantially vertical to the surface.
