Abstract
A pencil has a shaft with a rear portion and a front portion which bears an application element on its front end. The pencil further has a cap which has on its rear end facing the shaft an opening, by way of which it is placed onto the front portion in the non-use state of the pencil. Inside the cap is a receiving sleeve, which receives the application element and has on its rear end facing the shaft an insertion opening for the application element. The receiving sleeve is guided so as to be axially movable between a first end position and a second end position. The receiving sleeve is arranged fully inside the cap in the first end position and its rear end projects out of the opening of the cap with a projection in the second end position.
