  • Publication number: 20240103647
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic pen that includes a body portion housing of an electronic pen body portion has housed therein a refill body and a circuit board having a side switch formed by a push button switch mounted thereon, and has a pen-point opening portion through which a pen point of the refill body protrudes. A pressing member is provided in a side opening portion of the body portion housing such that the pressing member is disposed on the side switch in such a manner as to be prevented by an engagement portion from protruding outwardly from a side surface of the body portion housing. The side switch of the circuit board is operated through the pressing member of the electronic pen body portion when an operation unit of the outer housing having the electronic pen body portion installed therein is pressed.
