The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container includes a female screw portion provided with a female screw for screw engagement with a male screw of a rod-shaped cosmetic material support, a coil spring that restrains the female screw portion from moving forward in an axial direction, and a resin spring that restrains the female screw portion from moving rearward in the axial direction. An impact in the axial direction that acts on the female screw portion is absorbed by one spring, and an impact due to a restoring force at the time of restoration of one spring is absorbed by the other spring, whereby a rod-shaped cosmetic material supported by the rod-shaped cosmetic material support put in screw engagement with the female screw portion is sufficiently protected.

Disclosed herein embodiments for a writing instrument operable to spin around its lateral axis while held on opposite sites. An embodiment includes a barrel, a first bearing coupled to an interior side of the barrel and a second bearing coupled to an interior opposite side of the barrel. A first stub protrudes from a side of the barrel, the stub being in contact with the bearing so as to allow the stub to spin around a lateral axis of the barrel, the lateral axis comprising an axis perpendicular to a length of the barrel. A second stub protrudes from an opposite side of the barrel, the second stub being in contact with the second bearing so as to allow the second stub to spin around the lateral axis of the barrel.

A writing implement having a magnetic component is disclosed. The writing implement may be a pen, pencil, marker, highlighter, or other type of writing implement, and may include a writing tip, a reservoir for providing a writing fluid, a housing, and at least one magnetic component. The magnetic component may be sized and shaped so that it can be at least partially enclosed within the housing. The magnetic component may include one or more magnets and may be movably coupled to the housing to allow for alignment of the magnets with a ferromagnetic surface.

A feeding pencil includes a pipe member, a leading tube, a tubular main body, a movable body, and a holding member. The pipe member is disposed inside the leading tube and loads a drawing material. The movable body extends in an axial direction includes a male screw formed across an entire outer periphery thereof in the axial direction. The holding member holds the movable body. The pipe member includes a female screw on an inner surface thereof. The female screw screws with the male screw. A relative rotation between the leading tube and the main body relatively rotates the pipe member and the holding member and acts a screwing action between the male screw and the female screw. The screwing action moves the movable body forward to extrude the drawing material from the pipe member.

A mechanical pencil according to an embodiment includes: a barrel; a cushion spring that has a rear end supported by the barrel; a sleeve that is biased forward in an axial direction by the cushion spring and movable in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction by an impact applied from outside of the barrel in an elastically supported state; a chuck spring that has a front end supported by the sleeve; a chuck that chucks a writing lead for a mechanical pencil; a writing lead tube that is fitted to the chuck and biased rearward in the axial direction together with the chuck by the chuck spring; and a contact sliding part that suppresses movement of the sleeve in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

A mechanical pencil unit is provided which includes: a holding tube; a holder which is inserted into a front side opening portion of the holding tube and which protrudes forward from a front end of the holding tube, and moreover which is supported so as to be back and forth movable relative to the holding tube; a pencil lead delivering mechanism which delivers forward a pencil lead x inserted into the holder; and a movement direction conversion mechanism which causes the holder to go forward relative to the holding tube and the pencil lead x by using a force applied in a radial direction from the pencil lead x to the holder, wherein the pencil lead delivering mechanism is provided at a position further toward a rearward side than the holder and the movement direction conversion mechanism.
