Patent number: 10474253Abstract: An electronic pen indicates a position to a position detection module by transmitting and receiving signals with the position detection module. A cylindrical casing, a core member, a writing-pressure detector, and a writing-pressure transmission member are accommodated in a interior portion of a cylindrical casing. A pressing member applies, based on a user operation, a displacement force to the core member from a first end, which is opposite to a second end serving a pen tip, to the second end serving as the pen tip. The writing-pressure transmission member includes a protrusion which, in operation, transmits a writing pressure, which has been exerted on the core member fitted in a fit-in portion included in the writing-pressure transmission member, to the writing-pressure detector. The pressing member is configured to apply a displacement force to the core member via the writing-pressure transmission member without applying an axial force to the writing-pressure detector.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: WACOM CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryoji Kamiyama, Mamoru Ogata, Osamu Nagase
