The present invention relates to a retractable washable marker device. The device is primarily comprised of a barrel, a thrust device, and a marker member saturated with an ink having a tip. The tip can be extended/retracted into the barrel. When not in use, the tip is retracted within the barrel and enclosed in the barrel by at least one flap that covers a first opening of the barrel. In this manner, air is prevented from entering the barrel and drying out the tip and marker member.

A press structure for a press type stationery, having a mounting board (1), a button (400) and a resilient piece. A front upper end of the mounting board is recessed with 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) inclined towards the same side. End portions of lower ends 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 end portion of an upper end of the resilient rod. The press structure makes use of the positional relationships between the resilient rod, the position limiting block and the position fixing slot so that the contact part may rely on the resilience of the resilient rod alone to achieve sliding in the sliding track. The press structure has a long service life and is easy to be configured.

A writing instrument includes a body, a nosecone, and an adaptor each being of generally hollow tubular shape. The body, the nosecone, and the adaptor each have a first end and a second end. The first end of the adaptor is configured to slidably couple to the nosecone second end. The second end of the adaptor is coupled to the first end of the body. The writing instrument includes a writing element with a mounting end and a writing end where the mounting end is removably coupled to the second end of the body. The writing instrument includes a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the nosecone in a storage position or a writing position. In the storage position, the nosecone extends and covers the writing end. In the writing position, the nosecone retracts and the writing end of the writing element extends beyond the nosecone.

A side-knock type mechanical pencil comprising a body with a side-mounted knock button coupled to the body of the mechanical pencil and adapted to slidingly engage with a lead tube with a frustoconical hub for translating the motion of the knock button actuation to linear extension of the lead.

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