Abstract
A writing implement that includes a deformable hollow body extended along a central axis as far as one end, and an end member that includes a tubular portion which has an inner face equipped with a plurality of first projecting reliefs suitable for engaging with and radially deforming the hollow body during the fitting of the end member by engagement of its tubular portion around the end of the hollow body. The writing implement includes an inner face of the tubular portion that has a plurality of second projecting reliefs having a height measured radially from the inner face which is generally less than the height of the first projecting reliefs and is adapted so that the second reliefs apply a radial pressure on the hollow body deformed by the first reliefs.
