A pocket clip stamped from metal strip material, fastened at its one end to the tubular part of a writing instrument and at its other end resiliently biased into contact with the tubular part, has at its fastening end two bent-back, tab-like material sections which reach through an opening into the interior of the tubular part. The tab-like material sections are curved at their free end portions situated inside of the tubular part, in a plane situated at right angles to the longitudinal central axis of the tubular part, with their concave sides facing one another, while their curved end portions engage with bias a locking component that is circular is cross section and is inserted from the open end into the tubular part. In an intermediate area still within the tubular part there is provided an open-ended slot in each of the tab-like material sections, enabling the curved end portions of the tab-like material sections to flex resiliently within the tubular part. |
