A writing instrument has a nib that can retract automatically upon release of a grip on the writing instrument. The writing instrument has one or more leaves that can be flexed to push the cartridge towards the front end of the writing instrument to expose the nib. A spring applies a force on the cartridge to automatically retract the nib when a grip on the writing instrument is released.

A writing system comprises a writing tool comprising a barrel having a first end and a second end, a medium holder having a first end and a second end, the medium holder disposed within the barrel, wherein the medium holder is adapted to support a medium applicator to protrude from the first end of the barrel, and a magnetic core disposed within the barrel proximate to the first end of the barrel.

A press structure for a press type stationery, having mounting board (1), a button (400) and a resilient piece. The mounting board has a recess (11). A position limiting block (12) is provided at the front surface of the mounting board in this recess. A closed loop sliding track is formed between outer walls of the position limiting block and inner walls of the recess. The resilient piece has a spring (2) and a resilient rod (3). The position limiting block has a first inclined surface (122) and a second inclined surface (123). End portions of the first and second inclined surfaces are at one side of the resilient rod; upper ends of the first and second inclined surfaces are at another opposite side of the resilient rod. A contact part (4) positioned within the sliding track is provided at an upper end portion of the resilient rod.

Provided is a writing utensil with a pressurizing mechanism, wherein the cylinder is provided in such a manner that it comes into sliding contact with an outer peripheral part of the valve element and move back and forth, and an inner wall face of the cylinder is provided with a ventilating recess communicating with outside air, and an annular non-pressure contact face positioned on the rear side of the ventilating recess, and when the cylinder moves forward, the valve element is brought into pressure contact with the non-pressure contact face to seal the pressurizing chamber, and when the cylinder moves backward, the valve element is moved forward and separated from the non-pressure contact face such that the ventilating recess communicates with the pressurizing chamber.

An anti-rotation mechanism for a retractable eraser or other stick-like object for use with a writing instrument that utilizes locking elements to prevent the inadvertent retraction or extension of the eraser when pressure is applied to the eraser during the erasing operation.

The retractable container of the present invention includes a body which accommodates a receptor supported by a spring and a knob configured to deploy and retract the receptor. In the retractable container, the body accommodates the receptor and the spring therein, has an entrance formed on one side thereof and an insertion opening formed on the other side thereof, into which the receptor and the knob are inserted, and comprises a body cam integrally formed with the body and comprising a guide bar which extends from the body to be disposed adjacent to a side of the insertion opening, and the knob is configured to have a feature in which a knock operation part is formed integrally with a protrusion member which connects an extension part and a pressing part inserted into the insertion opening of the body, thus the guide bar of the body cam is moved to respond to a change in position of the knock operation part.
