Provided are an erasing implement and a writing implement equipped with the erasing implement, the erasing implement being capable of erasing writing regardless of the type of ink or lead of the writing implement, even writing with thermochromic ink or writing with pencil lead. The erasing implement is equipped with a first erasing member for erasing writing with thermochromic ink and a second erasing member for erasing writing of types other than thermochromic ink, and is configured by covering the outer surface of the second erasing member with the first erasing member.

The utility holder was designed to allow stored markers an extended life of working effectiveness. The design has one or more cylindrical recesses with a tapered bottom in which a dry-erase marker cap may be held in place in order that a dry-erase marker may be placed inside the cylindrical recess upside down, snapping into the dry-erase marker cap. The upside down placement of the markers in the magnetic whiteboard utility holder allows the markers maximum life. There are one or more magnets on the back surface of the utility holder which allows for it to adhere to a magnetic whiteboard. The utility holder also has a cuboid recess, which allows for a dry-erase eraser to be stored.

A writing instrument having a removal function of a handwritten content is provided where a tip erasing body that erases incorrectly written words or pictures is formed on the outer peripheral surface of a lower body, and the tip erasing body and the lower body are formed by a double injection molding method. An integrated one body prevents any form of gap between the tip erasing body and the lower body. Since the tip erasing body is integrally made with the lower body, when a user wants to erase incorrect contents, an unstable state like a conventional product can be overcome.

An example dry eraser and associated systems and methods are described. The example dry eraser includes a body with a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and first and second side walls. The body includes a hollow interior configured and dimensioned to receive therein a plurality of individual wipes. The top wall of the body includes an opening configured and dimensioned to dispense therefrom the plurality of individual wipes. The dry eraser includes an erasure material disposed on at least a portion of the bottom wall of the body.

A self-righting handheld utensil comprises a weighted base having a generally rounded bottom end, an elongated region extending outwardly from the base, and a use portion. The base, by virtue of its generally rounded bottom and mass, provide for a self-righting function for the disclosed utensil such that, when placed on a flat or substantially flat surface, it counterbalances the utensil to an upright vertical orientation without the need for user intervention or the application of any external force. The base need not become uncoupled from the elongated region and use portion before the user makes operative use of the disclosed utensil. The bottom end of the base may comprise one of several structural embodiments that retain the self-righting function of the utensil.

An attachment structure in a writing instrument, includes: a first component; and a second component configured to be fitted into a fitting hole provided at an end of the first component, the second component including: a small-diameter portion; and a large-diameter portion disposed in front of the small-diameter portion; and a first outer step portion disposed between the small-diameter portion and the large-diameter portion, the fitting hole including: a small-diameter hole portion; and an inner step portion disposed in front of the small-diameter hole portion, the small-diameter portion being fitted into or loosely fitted into the small-diameter hole portion, the first outer step portion coming into contact with the inner step portion, the small-diameter hole portion includes a barb portion protruding from the inner face of the small-diameter hole portion, the barb portion being deformable by contact with the small-diameter portion when the second component is fitted.
