  • Patent number: 6942411
    Abstract: A telescopic ball-point pen includes a tubular body, including a sliding axial tube, which in turn includes a refill tank. An interior surface of the body and an exterior surface of the sliding axial tube are threaded to form a driver screw portion, and an interior surface of the sliding axial tube and an exterior surface of the refill tank are threaded to form a follower screw portion. A pitch of the follower screw portion is greater than that of the driver screw portion so that the amount of front-and-back movement of the refill tank is greater than that of the sliding axial tube per rotation. A rear end of the sliding axial tube is fixed to a sheath. When the sheath and the body are rotated, the tip of a ball-point pen refill removably received within the refill tank is projected beyond, or received within, the pen.

A ball-point pen refill is disposed in the front holder portion and has a refill tip protruding from one end of the front holder portion. A concealing sleeve is disposed in one end of the front holder portion to be slidable along the ball-point pen refill. When the rear holder portion is moved to the compressed position, the sleeve is moved to conceal the refill tip, and when the rear holder portion is moved to the stretched position, the sleeve is moved to expose the refill tip. When the rear holder portion is moved to the compressed position, the rear holder portion is held in the position by a holding mechanism.
