Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotating retractable writing instrument, which is constituted in a simpler way and can thrust a mouthpiece and a writing core element smoothly to positions ready for writing. The writing instrument by the present invention comprises a rear outer cylinder 2, an inner sheath 4 unrotatably accommodated in the rear outer cylinder 2, a front outer cylinder 10 from which a mouthpiece 12 and a writing core element 13 can be thrust. A protrusion 45 for restraining rotating range, a refill sliding cam 42 and a mouthpiece sliding cam 43 are formed in the inner sheath 4. A refill sliding element 6 and a mouthpiece sliding element 7 are accommodated in the inner sheath 4. The mouthpiece sliding element 7 is connected to the refill sliding element 6. Further a connecting element 9 is connected to the inner sheath 4.
