A pencil device includes a body and a disposable cap. The disposable cap is selectively positionable so as to cover the first end of the body. The disposable cap includes a proximal end body portion having an opening, an opposite distal body portion having a storage cavity, and a built-in sharpener fixed between the proximal end body portion and the opposite distal body portion. The storage cavity is sealed for permanent storage of the shavings, A biasing member can be coupled to a side wall of the proximal end body portion configured to switch the disposable cap between a capping position and a sharpening position. Additional pressure is required to push the disposable cap from the capping position to the sharpening position. Upon release of the additional pressure, the disposable cap automatically returns to the capping position from the sharpening position.

A housing element for a writing instrument includes a hollow, sleeve-shaped, elongated base body having an opening for receiving the writing instrument or a pencil lead of the writing instrument at a first longitudinal end. The base body has a second longitudinal end, which is opposite the first longitudinal end, and has a retaining recess that is formed with a polygonal cross section for directly or indirectly retaining a bit in a rotationally fixed manner. A writing instrument including the housing element is also provided.

The disclosure relates to the field of manual devices for interacting with capacitive screens, and more particularly to a manual device with an open first end suitable for receiving a rear end of a writing instrument in a longitudinal direction, and a second end that is opposite from the first end in the longitudinal direction and that is provided with an electrically-conductive pad. Between the first and second ends, the manual device comprises an external portion made of elastomer and an internal structure that is electrically conductive, said internal structure forming an electrical connection between said pad and at least one conductive surface of the internal structure passing through an opening to be exposed on a grip surface of said external portion.

A cap (1) for a pen or pencil (100) has an opening (2) for the introduction of the pen or pencil (100) and a sealing bead (3) that extends radially inwards and runs around the longitudinal axis (L) of the cap (1) with a closed contour. The cap (1) has at least one first component (K1) with a first flexibility and a second component (K2) with a second flexibility that is greater than the first flexibility. The interior (7) of the cap (1) in the region lying opposite the opening (2) in relation to the sealing bead (3) and in the region of the sealing bead (3) is delimited by the first component (K1). The second component (K2) lies on the outside in the region of the sealing bead (3) along a closed contour on the first component (K1). The adjustability of the cap (1) by a force acting in the radial direction in the region of the sealing bead (3) is greater than in a region lying opposite the opening (2) in relation to the sealing bead (3).
