  • Patent number: 11221686
    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.

  • Patent number: 10921909
    Abstract: An input touch pen includes a digitizer refill contained inside a shaft tube and including a contact tip and a stepped tip portion rearward thereof, and a knock member protruding from an opening at a rear end of the shaft tube. The contact tip can protrude and retract through an opening at a tip end of the shaft tube. The stepped tip portion has a larger diameter than the opening at the tip end. A relationship A>X>Y is satisfied, wherein X represents a knock stroke of the digitizer refill, A a distance from the stepped tip portion to an inner surface at the tip end side when the contact tip is sunken inside the opening, and Y a distance that the contact tip is moved by operation of the knock member from a state of protruding from the opening to a state of being sunken inside the opening.

  • Patent number: 10838520
    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.
