As shown in FIG. 6, when the projecting portion 8f of the slide portion 8 is moved forward along the notch portion 3a of the main body 3, the rear end portion 8g of the slide portion 8 advances along the projecting portion 3c.

  When the rear end portion 8g reaches the front end of the protruding portion 3c, the rear end portion 8g enters the radially inner side of the notch portion 3a, and the rear end portion 8g is hooked on the front end of the protruding portion 3c. In the state where the rear end 8g of one slide portion 8 (for example, the slide portion 8A in FIG. 6) is hooked on the front end of the protruding portion 3c, the other slide portion 8 is placed on the inclined surface 8h of the one slide portion 8. The protruding portion 8e of the slide portion 8B (for example, the slide portion 8B in FIG. 6) is close.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, on the front side of the inner peripheral surface of the main body 3, a concave groove 3 e that engages with the protrusion 11 q of the middle cylinder 11 in the rotation direction, and a convex portion 11 r of the middle cylinder 11. Is provided with an annular recess 3f that engages in the axial direction and an annular recess 3g into which the flange 11p of the middle cylinder 11 enters from the front. The recessed grooves 3e extend rearward from the annular recessed portion 3g located at the front end of the main body 3 by a predetermined length, and are arranged at four positions in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the main body 3. The annular recess 3f extends in the circumferential direction between the recesses 3e.

  Four slide portions 8 are inserted into the main body 3 from the front side, and the projecting portion 8f of the slide portion 8 is projected outward from the cutout portion 3a. Further, the middle cylinder 11 enters the front end of the main body 3. When the middle cylinder 11 enters the main body 3, the protrusion 11q of the middle cylinder 11 enters the concave groove 3e of the main body 3, and the convex portion 11r of the middle cylinder 11 engages with the annular recess 3f of the main body 3 in the axial direction. When the collar portion 11p of the cylinder 11 enters the annular recess 3g, the middle cylinder 11 is engaged with the main body 3 so as to be capable of synchronous rotation.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the spring 9 (springs 9 </ b> A to 9 </ b> C) is wound around the rod-shaped portion 8 c so as to have a clearance with the outer periphery of the rod-shaped portion 8 c of the slide portion 8. One end (front end) of the spring 9 abuts on the rear wall of the holding body accommodating portion 11 s in the middle cylinder 11, and the other end (rear end) abuts on a flat surface 8 d located near the center in the axial direction of the slide portion 8. It is assumed that The slide portion 8 is urged backward by the spring 9.

  The operation at the time of using the feeding pencil 100 configured as described above will be described below. In the feeding pencil 100 in the initial state shown in FIG. 5, the four slide portions 8 are located at the rear end of the cutout portion 3 a of the main body 3, and the four pipe members 1 are first. It is located inside the cylinder 2. When the slide portion 8A is advanced by a certain amount along the notch 3a in this state, the cartridge 10A engaged with the slide portion 8A in the axial direction advances as shown in FIGS. M1 is exposed forward from the opening 2a of the front tube 2.

  At this time, when the front side portion of the pipe material 1A enters the inner peripheral surface 2d of the front tube 2, the rod-like portion 8c of the slide portion 8A is bent so as to be curved with respect to the axial direction, and the concave groove 1c of the pipe material 1A is formed. The protrusion 2e of the front tube 2 is engaged in the rotational direction. Then, the rear end portion 8g of the slide portion 8A enters the radially inner side at the front end of the protruding portion 3c of the main body 3.

  In this state, for example, when the user rotates the main body 3 relative to the front tube 2 in one direction (for example, clockwise), the middle tube 11, the four slide portions 8, the four holders 6, and the four The moving body 5 starts to rotate in one direction. Here, the pipe materials 1B to 1D in which the concave groove 1c is not engaged with the protrusion 2e of the front tube 2 rotate along with the relative rotation in the one direction.

  On the other hand, the holding body 6A connected via the moving body 5A to the pipe material 1A in which the concave groove 1c is engaged with the protrusion 2e of the front tube 2 is moved in one direction along with the relative rotation in the one direction. Start rotating. Further, the pipe material 1A in which the groove 1c is engaged with the protrusion 2e of the front tube 2 does not rotate with the rotation of the moving body 5A in one direction, and the moving body 5A rotates relative to the pipe material 1A. Will be. Therefore, the relative rotation in the one direction causes a screwing action between the male screw 5a of the moving body 5 and the female screw 1a of the pipe material 1, and the moving body 5A starts moving forward with respect to the pipe material 1A. . Then, the bottom surface 5e of the pushing portion 5d of the moving body 5A pushes the drawing material M1 loaded in the pipe material 1A forward, so that both the moving body 5A and the drawing material M1 start moving forward with respect to the pipe material 1A. .

  Further, at the time of the relative rotation in the one direction, as shown in FIG. 10, the elastic protrusion 11 e of the middle cylinder 11 constituting the ratchet mechanism 12 engages with the concavo-convex part 2 f of the front cylinder 2 in the rotation direction. Since the elastic protrusion 11e is urged in the radial direction by the elastic force of the notch 11f, the engagement and disengagement (engagement and disengagement) of the elastic protrusion 11e and the uneven portion 2f are repeated. That is, when relative rotation in the one direction is performed in a state where the elastic protrusion 11e and the uneven portion 2f are engaged in the rotation direction, the inclined surface 11e1 of the elastic protrusion 11e becomes the inclined surface 2f1 of the uneven portion 2f. In this state, it slides so as to run up the inclined surface 2f1.

  And after the elastic protrusion 11e gets over the convex part of the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 2f, the elastic protrusion 11e and the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 2f are again engaged in a rotation direction. As a result, a click feeling is given to the user each time the elastic protrusion 11e and the concavo-convex part 2f are engaged and released. In the uneven portion 2f, since 24 uneven portions are arranged in the circumferential direction, a click feeling is given to the user whenever the relative rotation is performed by 15 ° in one direction.

  On the other hand, when the user tries to relatively rotate the main body 3 in the other direction (for example, counterclockwise) which is the opposite direction to the one direction with respect to the front tube 2, the elastic projection 11e constituting the ratchet mechanism 12 The side surface 11e2 contacts the side surface 2f2 of the uneven portion 2f, and the relative rotation in the other direction is restricted. Therefore, the front tube 2 and the main body 3 do not rotate relative to each other. That is, the rotational force (torque) in the relative rotation in one direction is set to a force that can be easily rotated, and the rotational force in the relative rotation in the other direction is set to a force that cannot be easily rotated. For example, when the outer diameter of the main body 3 is designed to be about 14 mm, the relative rotational torque in one direction is set to 0.1 N · m (Newton meter) or less, and the relative rotational torque in the other direction is 0.2 N · m. Set to m or more.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in the state where the pipe member 1A is advanced by the advance of the slide portion 8A and the drawing material M1 is exposed forward, when the other slide portion 8B is advanced by a certain amount, the slide portion 8A is inclined. The protruding portion 8e of the slide portion 8B that has been close to the surface 8h contacts the inclined surface 8h of the slide portion 8A. When the protruding portion 8e of the slide portion 8B comes into contact with the inclined surface 8h of the slide portion 8A, the slide portion 8A is pushed radially outward, and the rear end portion 8g of the slide portion 8A and the front end of the protruding portion 3c are engaged. Is released. Then, the slide portion 8A is pushed back to the rear end position of the cutout portion 3a by the urging force of the spring 9A to the rear.

  As described above, the feeding pencil 100 includes the ratchet mechanism 12 that allows relative rotation in one direction between the leading cylinder 2 and the main body 3 and restricts relative rotation in the other direction. 11 is composed of an elastic protrusion 11e protruding from the outer surface of the front cylinder portion 11a (cylinder portion) and an uneven portion 2f on the inner surface of the front tube 2. In this ratchet mechanism 12, the uneven portion 2f on the inner surface of the front tube 2 is movable in the axial direction with respect to the elastic protrusion 11e on the outer surface of the front tube portion 11a.

  Further, the projection 11m provided on the outer surface of the central cylinder part 11b (cylinder part) of the middle cylinder 11 is detachably engaged with the annular convex part 2g provided on the inner surface of the front cylinder 2 in the axial direction. Thus, the middle cylinder 11 has the function as the ratchet mechanism 12 by the elastic protrusion 11e and the detachable function by the protrusion 11m as one component. Therefore, the front tube 2 can be attached to and detached from the middle tube 11 in the axial direction, so that the front tube 2 can be detached from the middle tube 11 and easily disassembled. Therefore, the user can remove the front tube 2 and easily replace the internal components when an abnormality occurs in the internal cartridge 10 or the like.

  Further, in the feeding pencil 100, a plurality of drawing materials M are accommodated inside the front tube 2, and are connected to each of the plurality of drawing materials M so as to be slidable by a certain amount with respect to the main body 3. The slide part 8 is provided, and any one slide part 8 among the plurality of slide parts 8 moves forward by a certain amount relative to the main body 3 so that any one drawing material M advances. Accordingly, a plurality of drawing materials M can be accommodated in one feeding pencil 100, and any one drawing material M can be advanced and used.

  That is, in the feeding pencil 100, a plurality of pipe members 1, moving bodies 5 and holding bodies 6 are provided, and are connected to each of the plurality of holding bodies 6 so as to be slidable by a certain amount with respect to the main body 3. A plurality of slide parts 8 are provided, and any one of the plurality of slide parts 8 is moved forward by a certain amount with respect to the main body 3, whereby any one drawing material M is exposed from the front tube 2, and in this state The drawing material M moves forward by relatively rotating the front tube 2 and the main body 3 in one direction. Therefore, a plurality of drawing materials M can be accommodated inside one feeding pencil 100, and a small diameter can be maintained even if a plurality of drawing materials M are accommodated.

  In the drawing pencil 100, the drawing material M is loaded in the pipe material 1, and the moving body 5 is accommodated in the pipe material 1 and the holding body 6. The moving body 5 has a male screw 5a formed over the entire axial direction. Therefore, the male screw 5a can be screwed and held at an arbitrary position by the pipe material 1 and the holding body 6. Further, the male screw 5a of the moving body 5 is screwed with the female screw 1a on the inner surface of the pipe member 1 and abuts on the projection 6f of the inner surface 6e of the holding member 6 disposed behind the pipe member 1 from the outside. Is done.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B which are longitudinal sectional views of the pipe member 1, the moving body 5, and the holding body 6, the pipe member 1 screwed into the moving body 5 and the moving body Since the holding body 6 holding 5 can be arranged in the axial direction, enlargement of the feeding pencil 100 in the radial direction is suppressed. Therefore, in the feeding pencil 100, the diameter can be reduced.

  In the feeding pencil 100, for example, the inner diameter of the screw thread in the female screw 1a of the pipe member 1 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the protrusion 6f of the holding body 6. As a result, a minute clearance is formed between the male screw 5a of the moving body 5 and the screw thread of the female screw 1a, but no clearance is formed between the male screw 5a and the protrusion 6f. Can always be brought into contact with the male screw 5a.

  Further, the protrusion 6 f of the holding body 6 is formed in a spiral shape on the inner surface 6 e of the holding body 6. Therefore, since the projection 6f can be engaged with the male screw 5a along the shape of the male screw 5a, the holding force of the holding body 6 with respect to the male screw 5a can be increased.

  Further, the holding body 6 has a slit 6d extending in the axial direction from the front end portion thereof. By providing this slit 6d, the elastic force in the radial direction at the front end of the holding body 6 can be increased. Therefore, since the holding force of the holding body 6 in the radial direction can be increased, it is possible to more reliably suppress the removal of the moving body 5 from the holding body 6.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified without changing the gist described in each claim or applied to other embodiments. There may be. That is, the configuration of each component constituting the feeding pencil 100 can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the above.

  In the above-described embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the elastic protrusion 11 e of the middle cylinder 11 and the concavo-convex part 2 f of the front cylinder 2 constitute the ratchet mechanism 12 and are provided on the outer surface of the middle cylinder 11. The example in which the protrusion 11m thus formed and the annular protrusion 2g provided on the inner surface of the front tube 2 are detachably engaged in the axial direction has been described. However, as a feeding pencil according to the modified example, an annular convex portion that is detachably engaged with the elastic projection 11 e constituting the ratchet mechanism 12 may be provided on the inner surface of the front tube 2.

  That is, the feeding pencil according to this modification includes a cylindrical main body 3, a front cylinder 2 that is engaged with the main body 3 so as to be relatively rotatable, and a cylindrical portion that is inserted into the rear side of the front cylinder 2 (front cylinder portion). 11a and a central cylinder portion 11b), and a middle cylinder 11 which is located between the front cylinder 2 and the main body 3 and is engaged with the front cylinder 2 so as to be relatively rotatable, the front cylinder 2 and the main body 3 is a feeding pencil in which the drawing material M moves forward in the front tube 2 by relatively rotating in one direction, allowing the relative rotation in the one direction between the front tube 2 and the main body 3, The ratchet mechanism 12 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 12 that restricts relative rotation in the other direction, which is the opposite direction of the one direction. It is provided on the inner surface of the front tube 2 and can move axially and rotate with the elastic projection 11e. A concavo-convex portion 2f for engagement is constituted by the elastic projections 11e engage axially detachably annular protrusion provided on the inner surface of the front barrel 2.

  In the feeding pencil according to this modified example, as described above, the elastic protrusion 11e is detachably engaged with the annular protrusion provided on the inner surface of the front tube 2 in the axial direction. Therefore, since the elastic protrusion 11e constituting the ratchet mechanism 12 is detachably engaged with the annular convex portion on the inner surface of the front tube 2, the elastic protrusion 11e also has a detachable function. Thus, the elastic protrusion 11e can be provided with a detachable function, and in this case, the protrusion 11m can be omitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, on the inner surface of the front tube 2, the annular convex portion 2g, the annular concave portion 2h located on the front side of the annular convex portion 2g, the annular concave portion 2j located on the rear side of the annular convex portion 2g, The example in which is provided has been described. However, the annular recess 2h or the annular recess 2j can be omitted. That is, at least one of the front side of the annular convex portion 2g and the rear side of the annular convex portion 2g can be a flat surface.

However, the shape and arrangement of the protrusion 11m of the middle cylinder 11 and the annular protrusion 2g of the front cylinder 2 are not limited to the above example. Furthermore, instead of the protrusion 11m and the annular protrusion 2g, an annular protrusion may be formed on the outer surface of the middle cylinder 11, and a protrusion may be formed on the inner surface of the front cylinder 2. The protrusion and the protrusion on the inner surface of the front tube 2 may be detachably engaged in the axial direction. In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the middle cylinder 11 includes the front cylinder part 11a and the center cylinder part 11b has been described. However, the shape of the middle cylinder can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the holding body 6 includes the slit 6 d to increase the elastic force in the radial direction at the front end of the holding body 6 has been described. The holding body 6 may further include an elastic portion that applies an elastic force to the moving body 5 held inside from the outside. Specifically, for example, an annular recess extending in the circumferential direction between the plurality of slits 6d on the outer surface of the holding body 6 may be formed, and an O-ring that is an elastic body may be inserted into the annular recess. In this case, when the O-ring is inserted into the annular recess, the moving body 5 held by the holding body 6 is tightened inward in the radial direction, and the removal of the moving body 5 from the holding body 6 is further reliably prevented. The That is, the holding force of the holding body 6 can be further increased by the elastic force from the outside in the radial direction by the elastic portion.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the protrusion 6f of the holding body 6 is formed in a spiral shape on the inner surface 6e of the holding body 6 has been described. However, the shape and arrangement of the protrusions formed on the inner surface 6e of the holding body 6 are not limited to the above example. For example, protrusions that are not spiral may be disposed at a plurality of positions along the axial direction on the inner surface 6 e of the holding body 6. Also in this case, each of the plurality of protrusions arranged along the axial direction presses the male screw 5a of the moving body 5 from the outside in the radial direction, so that the male screw 5a can be hardly pulled out from the holding body 6. In this way, the strength against the removal of the male screw 5a can be increased by the plurality of protrusions provided along the axial direction.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the protrusions 6f of the holding body 6 are arranged at three positions along the axial direction on the inner surface 6e of the holding body 6 has been described. However, this protrusion 6f may be disposed at one, two, or four or more positions along the axial direction.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the protrusions 1 b are provided on the inner surface of the pipe material 1 in front of the female screw 1 a in four circumferential directions, and the pipe material 1 is formed by the protrusions 1 b. The example in which the drawing material M loaded in the sheet is prevented from being removed has been described. However, measures other than the protrusion 1b may be taken to prevent the drawing material M from coming off. For example, instead of the ridges 1b, a measure for increasing the friction coefficient may be applied to the inner surface of the pipe material 1, or a preventive measure is taken by making the inner surface of the pipe material 1 non-circular such as a polygon. May be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the feeding pencil 100 that is a multi-purpose pencil having drawing materials M1 to M4 having different colors has been described.
