Abstract
A chuck () for grasping a writing lead and a rotor () arranged to be movable together in a direction of rotation and an axial direction within a body cylinder (). A rotational drive mechanism for the writing lead is formed such that first and second cam faces () and () are respectively formed at one end face and another end face of the rotor in the axial direction, and first and second fixed cam faces () and () are arranged on the body cylinder side to face the above-mentioned first and second cam faces respectively. Retreat operation and forward movement (cushion action) of the writing lead by writing pressure are provided with a damping effect by sticky grease () interposed between a stopper () and a torque canceller (). As a result, a sense of uncomforting, when writing, generated in conjunction with the cushion action can be reduced.
