Abstract
A mechanical pencil with automatic lead feed has a clamping mechanism for clamping a lead in such a manner that it holds the lead steadily against rearward movement but easily permits the lead to move forwardly. A lead tube is fixed at its rear end to the front end of a housing to guide and protect the lead. A sensor is slidably held in the front end of the housing and extends along the lead tube to sense the wear of the lead during writing. A lead advancing mechanism is actuated by the sensor and has a holder for frictionally holding the lead and an elastic member for urging the holder forwardly.
