A multifunction pen is provided including a refill for a writing implement such as a ballpoint pen on a tip end side and including an electromagnetic induction-based electromagnetic induction refill on a rear end side such that there is no need to perform a switching operation between the writing refill and the electromagnetic induction refill. The multifunction pen includes a shaft tubeincluding openings at both of a tip end and a rear end, a writing refillthat is housed inside the shaft tubeand that includes a writing tip exposed through the opening at the tip end, and an electromagnetic induction refillthat is housed inside the shaft tube, that is exposed through the opening at the rear end, and that is employed in electromagnetic induction-based input.

Multifunction pen

An input pen is disclosed including a wood shaft, a mounting hole that is formed at an axial center of the wood shaft, and an input body that is rod-shaped and is mounted in the mounting hole, and wherein an inner side surface of the mounting hole and an outer side surface of the input body are fixed.

Input pen and method of manufacturing input pen

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.

A stylus pen is disclosed with which coordinate information can be inputted accurately and whose operability can be improved. A stylus pen for inputting information by bringing a screen contacting portion into contact with a capacitive touch screen includes a barrel, a holder made of nonconductive material attached to a front end of the barrel, a screen contacting portion formed of conductive material and attached to a front end of the holder, and a connecting member made of conductive material that is disposed in the holder and has a resilient action along the axial direction and that conducts electricity when a front end portion of the connecting member comes into contact with the screen contacting portion. An outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the connecting member is set to be smaller than an outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the screen contacting portion.
