A lengthwise outer peripheral part of the pipe-shaped tip having a supporting seat formed of inward projections in a plurality of places is fitted in the fore end of the joint so that a holder is provided, and the fore-end ball is held rotatably in the fore end of the tip, contacting the supporting seat. The fore-end ball is so provided that it is pressed by the shank part in front of the winding part of the spring and brought into close contact with the inner edge of the ball holding part of the chip, so that outflow of the ink be obstructed.
