Retaining clip arrangement of sleeve-shaped metallic parts of writing instruments, such as ball-point pens or the like

摘要

A metallic retaining clip (16) is attached in a resiliently pivotable manner to a metallic housing part (14) of the writing instrument (10), having a mechanism for advancing and retracting a writing refill (20). The retaining clip (16) interacts with a spacer sleeve (18) provided in the housing, in order to produce a locking of writing refill (20), and releases the spacer sleeve in the advanced position by lifting and upward pivoting of the free end, so that the writing refill (20) supported thereon is pushed back by a spring into the housing of the writing instrument (10). <IMAGE>
