An electronic stylus device includes a stylus tip element having a stylus tip end and an opposing end. The stylus tip element is positioned at an end of the electronic stylus device and aligned along the long center axis of the electronic stylus device. A nutation collar is positioned about the stylus tip element and the long center axis. The nutation collar provides one or more bearing surfaces around the stylus tip element between the stylus tip end and the opposing end of the stylus tip element. The one or more bearing surfaces permit the stylus tip element to nutate within the nutation collar. A deflection sensor is positioned proximate to the opposing end of the stylus tip element on the long center axis and detects lateral deflection of the opposing end of the stylus tip element relative to the long center axis of the electronic stylus device.

Aspects of the present invention relate to an anti-fidgeting device. In an aspect, the anti-fidgeting device includes a head, or a first member, that is coupled to a writing instrument. The writing instrument extends at least partially through the first member. The anti-fidgeting device includes a body, or a second member, that is coupled to the writing instrument. The writing instrument extends at least partially through the second member. The anti-fidgeting device includes a spinning mechanism that is positioned at least partially between the first member and the second member. The writing instrument extends through the spinning mechanism. The spinning mechanism is rotatable around the writing instrument.

A hand-held device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is engaged at least in part with the second portion while being movable in translation in an axial direction relative to the second portion. The first portion presents a first distal end while the second portion presents a second distal end opposite from the first distal end in the axial direction. A blocking device is configured to prevent the first portion from moving in translation in the axial direction relative to the second portion only when, considered in the gravity direction, the first distal end is arranged above the second distal end. The blocking device includes a chamber and a ball or the equivalent housed in the chamber.

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 means of representing improved form of pen assembly which embodies a structure where the body is used to hold the dices which allow the user to play the dice games at any spot whereas using the pen nib for its conventional use and writing the scored points.

A hand-held device, in particular a writing instrument, comprising a body, a single carriage carrying a first head and a second head, or a first carriage and a second carriage carrying respectively the first head and the second head, and a blocking device including a cavity and a ball, the ball) blocking the single carriage or the first carriage when the first end is below the second end, such that the first head is blocked and projecting while the second head is retracted, and the ball blocking the single carriage or the second carriage when the first end is above the second end, such that the second head is blocked and projecting while the second first head is retracted.

An electronic pen has increased strength, especially a pen tip portion that is not bent or broken even if the electronic pen is slimmed down. A core unit includes a ferrite core on which a coil is wound and a core rod. The core rod is fixed from a first end of the ferrite core to a second end of the ferrite core at a position including a center axis of the ferrite core and projects at an end thereof from the first end of the ferrite core. The ferrite core includes a first coil non-winding portion on which the coil is not wound provided on the pen tip side of the ferrite core. In operation, the end of the core rod and part of the first coil non-winding portion of the ferrite core project from an opening of a housing of the electronic pen.
