Abstract
A drawing device includes an outside case with a front opening, an inside case sliding to switch between a pulled-out position and a stored position, and a holder main member sliding to switch between a use position and a non-use position. The inside case includes a first locking member engaging the holder main member when the inside case is at the stored position. Through this engagement, it is possible to prevent the holder main member from sliding alone and allow the inside case and the holder main member to slide to the pulled-out position. When the inside case reaches the pulled-out position, the first locking member automatically releases the engagement to allow the holder main member to slide to the use position.
