Writing tool

A writing tool comprising:

• a tool body extending in a longitudinal direction;
• and
• a clip member composed of a wire rod and held by a lateral portion of the tool body,
• wherein a longitudinal intermediate section of the clip member is held by the lateral portion of the tool body, and the clip member is biased toward the tool body so as to cause a writing tip-side section of the clip member to come into contact with the tool body,
• wherein the writing tool is configured such that, when a back-end section of the clip member is pushed toward the tool body, a longitudinal writing tip-side section of the clip member is swung to he spaced apart from the tool body,
• wherein the clip member is configured to be formed by bending the wire rod, and
• wherein opposite ends of the wire rod are attached, respectively, to a pair of mounting parts formed in the lateral portion of the tool body and separated along the longitudinal direction, and the clip member is bent into a shape allowing the longitudinal writing tip-side section of the clip member to be biased toward the tool body by elasticity of the wire rod composing the clip member.
