DOUBLE-CHUCK MECHANICAL PENCIL.

摘要

A double-chuck mechanical pencil comprises: a barrel; a barrel cap attached to the barrel; a lead tank axially slidably inserted in the barrel; a back chuck fixedly joined to the front end of the lead tank; a chuck ring loosely fitted on the chucking head of the back chuck; a tubular member disposed so as to surround the front portion of the lead tank; a back elastic member placed in the tubular member so as to bias the lead tank backward; a coupling member combined with the tubular member, and provided in its inner circumference with stopping portions with which the tubular member and the chuck ring come into contact, respectively; a front chuck fixedly joined to the front portion of the coupling member; and a front elastic member interposed between the barrel cap and the coupling member so as to bias the coupling member backward. A rotation prohibiting means permits the axial movement of the coupling member and prohibits the rotation of the same relative to the tubular member. A tail cap is attached to the back end of the barrel and a push cap is put datachably on the back end of the lead tank.
