Abstract: A multifunction pen includes plural refills including an electromagnetic induction touch pen. A knock operation to one of knock rods each of which is connected to a rear end of each of the plural refills causes a tip of one refill of the plural refills to move from a standby position in which the tip stays inside a shaft tube to an in-use position in which the tip projects from a tip end opening of the shaft tube. At least one refill from writing refills other than the electromagnetic induction touch pen is provided with a metal writing tip, and a tip of the electromagnetic induction touch pen at the in-use position is separated from the tips of the writing refills at the standby position by a distance such that electromagnetic induction by the electromagnetic induction touch pen is not affected by the tips of the writing refills.

Abstract: A handwriting input device configured to obtain hand-written data of an electronic pen on a coordinate detection surface of a coordinate input device by an electromagnetic induction effect of the coordinate input device and the electronic pen. The electronic pen includes a first resonance circuit including a coil, a capacitor, and a core, a mechanical pencil unit configured to perform writing on a paper sheet placed on the coordinate detection surface, and a writing pressure detecting portion configured to detect a writing pressure such that a part of the mechanical pencil unit is pushed by receiving the writing pressure applied to a lead projecting from a distal end of the mechanical pencil unit. The detection of the writing pressure causes the coordinate input device to obtain the hand-written data corresponding to a handwriting on the paper sheet while writing is performed on the paper sheet with the electronic pen.

Abstract: The present invention is a chuck body (13) provided with: a hollow, substantially cylindrical fastener (11) having a tapered inner surface (13) in which the diameter of the hole gradually changes along the axial direction; and a chuck (21) having a divided end part (23) divided into two or three, the divided end part (23) having a tapered outer surface (24) that can enter or exit from the fastener (11) and that comes into contact with the tapered inner surface (13) of the fastener (11) when entering the fastener (11). When the divided end part (23) of the chuck (21) closes in the fastener (11) and holds the core (10), the angle of the tapered outer surface (24) of the chuck (21) relative to the center axis line of the chuck (21) is substantially identical to the angle of the tapered inner surface (13) of the fastener (11).
