A feeding pencil includes a main body including a main body barrel having a tubular shape, a front barrel detachably engaged with the main body barrel, and a cartridge disposed in the front barrel to receive a drawing material. The cartridge includes a tubular portion provided on a rear side of the cartridge, the main body includes an insertion portion provided on a front side of the main body and configured to be engaged with the tubular portion. When the cartridge is tilted from the main body, an engagement between the tubular portion and the insertion portion is released.

A mechanical pencil has: a shaft tube; a ferrule unit supported by the shaft tube; a lead holding unit having a chuck configured to relatively move with respect to the ferrule unit to eject lead held by the same; and an indication body provided movably in an axial direction. The indication body delimits from rearward a lead storage space formed rearward the chuck in the shaft tube. The indication body located at least at a predetermined position is viewable from outside the shaft tube. A length along the axial direction between a rear end of the lead storage space and a front end of the ferrule unit, in a state where the indication body has moved most rearward along the axial direction, is equal to or more than twice a length of spare lead to be stored in the lead storage space.

A feeding pencil includes a pipe member, a leading tube, a tubular main body, a movable body, and a holding member. The pipe member is disposed inside the leading tube and loads a drawing material. The movable body extends in an axial direction includes a male screw formed across an entire outer periphery thereof in the axial direction. The holding member holds the movable body. The pipe member includes a female screw on an inner surface thereof. The female screw screws with the male screw. A relative rotation between the leading tube and the main body relatively rotates the pipe member and the holding member and acts a screwing action between the male screw and the female screw. The screwing action moves the movable body forward to extrude the drawing material from the pipe member.

A mechanical pencil unit is provided which includes: a holding tube; a holder which is inserted into a front side opening portion of the holding tube and which protrudes forward from a front end of the holding tube, and moreover which is supported so as to be back and forth movable relative to the holding tube; a pencil lead delivering mechanism which delivers forward a pencil lead x inserted into the holder; and a movement direction conversion mechanism which causes the holder to go forward relative to the holding tube and the pencil lead x by using a force applied in a radial direction from the pencil lead x to the holder, wherein the pencil lead delivering mechanism is provided at a position further toward a rearward side than the holder and the movement direction conversion mechanism.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a thermoplastic resin composition that is suitable for obtaining a molded article that does not produce increased hydrophilic properties, and that has a hard feel and a texture closer to that of earthenware.

The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention is characterized in that it contains 10 to 50 parts by mass of a thermoplastic resin (A), 50 to 90 parts by mass of a metal oxide (B) [provided that the total amount of (A)+(B) is 100 parts by mass], and an unmodified polyolefin-based wax (C) in a range of 0.1 to 20 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (A)+(B).

A mechanical pencil includes a main body in which a mechanism for discharging a pencil lead is located, and a clip attached to the main body wherein the clip includes a container for storing a refill for a pencil lead.

Provided is a color pencil lead which is excellent in a hue, a light resistance and a strength and can be erased with an eraser and which is suited to pencil leads for mechanical pencils and wooden pattern holder pencils. The above color pencil lead is characterized by containing a resin in which a dye is dissolved or included in a pencil lead body.

A feeding pencil includes a pipe member, a leading tube, a tubular main body, a movable body, and a holding member. The pipe member is disposed inside the leading tube and loads a drawing material. The movable body extends in an axial direction includes a male screw formed across an entire outer periphery thereof in the axial direction. The holding member holds the movable body. The pipe member includes a female screw on an inner surface thereof. The female screw screws with the male screw. A relative rotation between the leading tube and the main body relatively rotates the pipe member and the holding member and acts a screwing action between the male screw and the female screw. The screwing action moves the movable body forward to extrude the drawing material from the pipe member.

The invention relates to an erasable, unburnt colored lead for writing, drawing and painting devices or erasable, unburnt colored chalk containing at least one filler material, graphite, at least one colorant, at least one binding agent and at least one wax, wherein boron nitride is present as a filler material and at least on pigment is present as colorant. The invention further relates to a writing, painting or drawing device comprising an erasable, unburnt colored lead and a method for manufacturing such a colored lead or colored chalk.
