Abstract: The present invention includes a shaft cylinder having an opening at a front end thereof, a tip holder movable in an axial direction of the shaft cylinder, a tip projectable and retractable in conjunction with a movement of the tip holder, an annular member fitted on the tip holder and axially movable, and an elastic member connecting the tip holder and the annular member so that they are movable relatively to each other. A contact surface tapered toward the front end is formed on an outer periphery of the annular member. A cutout reduces an inner diameter of the annular when a load is received by the contact surface. A guide surface is formed on the part of the inside surface of the shaft cylinder. The contact surface receives the load from the guide surface in conjunction with the movement of the tip holder toward the front end side.
