  • Patent number: 8480324
    Abstract: A writing implement that includes a tubular body that extends longitudinally along a central axis and has an outer surface, and a clip that includes an arm that extends parallel to the central axis, between a front end and a back end near which a first and a second flange extend towards the body element. The flanges are mounted on a pivot shaft in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, and around which the clip pivots between a closed position in which the arm comes in contact with the implement, and an open position. The outer surface of the body element has a first and a second sunken region, one on each side of a first longitudinal plane passing through the central axis, and from which protrude a first and a second pin both extending collinearly to the pivot shaft.

  • Patent number: 8425135
    Abstract: A writing instrument that includes a body extending longitudinally along a central axis (X), a clip extending in parallel to the central axis (X), from a base fixed to the body up to a free end, and a first projecting member for attaching the clip, having a first lateral side extending between a base that is integral with the body and a radially distant apex. The clip includes a bar having a first end that is integral with the base of the clip, where the body includes a second projecting attachment member having a second lateral side facing the first lateral side, the second lateral side extending from a base that is integral with the body up to an upper end from which a projection extends towards the first lateral side, up to a free end.

  • Publication number: 20100316431
    Abstract: A writing instrument that includes a shaft and an eraser exit device. The eraser exit device includes an eraser protection sleeve that is mobile at least in rotation relative to the shaft so that the eraser can assume a maximum exit configuration and a retraction configuration, and an eraser holder provided with at least a first longitudinal guiding member directly interacting with a first complementary guiding member connected to the shaft so as to prevent any rotation movement between the holder and the shaft, and provided with at least a second guiding member that interacts with a second complementary guiding member connected to the sleeve. The sleeve has a front portion surrounding the rear end of the shaft and a rear portion having an inner guiding portion including the second complementary guiding member.
