A USB plug is formed at a lower end of the cap and electrically connected with the flash memory. A barrel has a chamber defined at an upper end thereof. The USB plug of the cap is inserted in the chamber. A plastic writing tip is formed at a lower end of the barrel. A clip is formed at an outer periphery of the cap.

Abstract: A writing instrument with a retraction device includes a hollow barrel, a grip attached to a lower end of the hollow barrel, a writing implement mounted in the hollow barrel and the grip, and an elastic member mounted around a lower portion of the writing implement. The grip has a rigid sleeve mounted in a lower end of the grip opposite to the hollow barrel. The writing implement has a writing tip formed on a lower end of the writing implement, which selectively extends through the rigid sleeve in the grip. The elastic member abuts the rigid sleeve and is driven by the rigid sleeve. The user only needs to press the writing tip or the rigid sleeve to retract or extend the writing tip.
