  • Patent number: 10787022
    Abstract: In a writing utensil with a pressurizing mechanism, a cylinder is provided such that it comes into sliding contact with an outer peripheral part of a valve element and moves back and forth. An inner wall face of the cylinder is provided with a ventilating recess communicating with outside air, and an annular non-pressure contact face is positioned on the rear side of the ventilating recess. When the cylinder moves forwardly, the valve element is brought into pressure contact with the non-pressure contact face to seal the pressurizing chamber and when the cylinder moves backwardly, the valve element is moved forward and is separated from the non-pressure contact face, such that the ventilating recess communicates with the pressurized chamber.
