A mechanical pencil has: a shaft tube; a ferrule unit supported by the shaft tube; a lead holding unit having a chuck configured to relatively move with respect to the ferrule unit to eject lead held by the same; and an indication body provided movably in an axial direction. The indication body delimits from rearward a lead storage space formed rearward the chuck in the shaft tube. The indication body located at least at a predetermined position is viewable from outside the shaft tube. A length along the axial direction between a rear end of the lead storage space and a front end of the ferrule unit, in a state where the indication body has moved most rearward along the axial direction, is equal to or more than twice a length of spare lead to be stored in the lead storage space.

Mechanical pencil

A pressurized writing implement includes a shaft tube capable of housing therein a refill filled with a writing implement ink composition. The pressurized writing implement further includes a pressurizing mechanism that applies a pressure to the writing implement ink composition, the pressurized writing implement being capable of switching a writing state in which a front end part of the refill projects from a front end opening of the shaft tube, and a not-writing state in which the front end part of the refill is retracted from the front end opening of the shaft tube. The pressurized writing implement further includes a pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism that adjusts the pressure.

Pressurized-type writing implement

A mechanical pencil including: a body cylinder; a lead releasing unit configured to release a writing lead and having a rear region supported inside the body cylinder such that a front region thereof is flexurally deformable or tiltable inside the body cylinder; and a stretchable elastic body arranged between the lead releasing unit and a body cylinder, in which the lead releasing unit has a pressed portion on an outer circumferential surface of the front region, the body cylinder has a pressing portion in a front region, the pressing portion and the pressed portion abut on each other before the front region of the lead releasing unit is flexurally deformed or tilted, and the pressing portion causes the pressed portion to relatively move to the rear side with respect to the body cylinder when the front region of the lead releasing unit is flexurally deformed or tilted.
