Feeding pencil
A feeding pencil includes a main body, a leading tube, a middle tube, and a ratchet mechanism. The middle tube is engaged to the leading tube to be relatively rotatable. A relative rotation between the leading tube and the main body in one direction moves a drawing material forward. The ratchet mechanism allows the relative rotation between the leading tube and the main body in the one direction, and regulates the relative rotation in another direction. The ratchet mechanism includes an elastic projecting part and a concave-convex part. The concave-convex part engages with the elastic projecting part to be movable in an axial direction and rotatable. A protrusion disposed at a center tube removably engages with an annular convex part disposed at an outer surface of the leading tube in the axial direction.
FEEDING PENCIL
A feeding pencil includes a body, a leading tube, a middle tube, a pipe member including drawing materials, a movable body, a holding member, and a sliding part. The drawing material moves forward in the leading tube when the pipe member engages with the leading tube in a rotating direction by moving the sliding part forward by a predetermined amount, when the leading tube and the body are rotated relatively in one direction while the pipe member is engaged with the leading tube in the rotating direction. The sliding part includes a stick-like part with a spring, and the stick-like part is inserted into an opening of a housing, and the sliding part is urged rearward by the spring when one end of the spring abuts the housing, and the other end of the spring abuts a face protruding radially outwardly from the stick-like part.
