Abstract
A pressurized-type writing implement includes: a shaft tube capable of housing therein a refill filled with a writing implement ink composition; and a pressurizing mechanism that applies a pressure to the writing implement ink composition; the pressurized-type writing implement being capable of switching a writing state in which a front end part of the refill projects from a front end opening of the shaft tube, and a not-writing state in which the front end part of the refill is retracted from the front end opening of the shaft tube, wherein the pressurized-type writing implement has a pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism that adjusts the pressure.

A pressurized-type writing implement comprising:
- a shaft tube capable of housing therein a refill filled with a writing implement ink composition;
- and
- a pressurizing mechanism that applies a pressure to the writing implement ink composition;
- the pressurized-type writing implement being capable of switching a writing state in which a front end part of the refill projects from a front end opening of the shaft tube, and a not-writing state in which the front end part of the refill is retracted from the front end opening of the shaft tube,
- wherein the pressurized-type writing implement has a pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism that adjusts the pressure.

A pressurized-type writing implement in which:
- a ballpoint refill is housed in a shaft tube, wherein the ballpoint refill includes an ink storage tube filled with a writing implement ink composition, and a ballpoint tip on a front part of the ink storage tube;
- a pressurized chamber and a pressurizing mechanism that applies a pressure to the pressurized chamber are disposed on a back side of the ballpoint refill, wherein the pressurized chamber is in communication with a back end of the writing implement ink composition;
- and
- a front end of the ballpoint refill is configured to project from a front end opening of the shaft tube by pushing a knock body disposed on the back side of the pressurizing mechanism to the front side;
- characterized in that:
- a cam member is disposed on the front side of the knock body;
- a pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism is disposed on the back side of the pressurizing mechanism, wherein the pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism increases or decreases a volume of the pressurized chamber at least during writing, by rotating the knock body;
- and
- a first spring body is disposed between an outer step part of the ballpoint refill and an inner step part of the shaft tube, so as to elastically urge the ballpoint refill to the back side with respect to the shaft tube;
- and
- when the knock body is pushed to the front side or when the ballpoint refill is moved to the back side by a writing pressure upon writing, the pressurizing mechanism is actuated so as to apply a pressure to the back end of the writing implement ink composition;
- and the pressure applied to the back end of the writing implement ink composition is configured to be adjustable by the pressurizing-force adjusting mechanism.

A pressurized-type writing implement in which:
- a ballpoint refill is housed in a shaft tube, wherein the ballpoint refill includes an ink storage tube filled with a writing implement ink composition, and a ballpoint tip on a front part of the ink storage tube;
- a pressurizing mechanism that applies a pressure to a back end of the writing implement ink composition is disposed on a back side of the ballpoint refill;
- and
- a projecting and retracting mechanism, which is pushed to a front side to project a front end part of the ballpoint refill from a front end opening of the shaft tube, is disposed on the back side of the pressurizing mechanism;
- characterized in that:
- the projecting and retracting mechanism comprises:
- a slide member disposed so as to be movable in a back and forth direction and unrotatable with respect to the shaft tube;
- a knock body rotatably locked on a back part of the slide member, and projecting to the back side from a back end of the shaft tube;
- and a slidable member disposed inside the slide member and locked so as to be movable in the back and forth direction and unrotatable with respect to the slide member;
- the slidable member is locked on the knock body so as to be moved in the back and forth direction in accordance with the rotation of the knock body, with a front end thereof being in contact with a back end of the pressurizing mechanism;
- a first spring body is disposed between an outer step part of the ballpoint refill and an inner step part of the shaft tube so that the ballpoint refill is elastically urged to the back side with respect to the shaft tube;
- by pushing the knock body of the projecting and retracting mechanism to the front side, an engagement part formed on an outer wall of the slide member is engaged with an engaged part on a front part of a clip provided on a back part of the shaft tube so that the front end part of the ballpoint refill is maintained to project from the front end opening of the shaft tube, and by pushing the back end part of the clip so as to disengage the engagement state between the engagement part and the engaged part of the clip, the slide member is moved to the back side by a spring force of the first spring body so that the front end part of the ballpoint refill is retracted into the front end opening of the shaft tube;
- and
- while the front end part of the ballpoint refill is maintained to project from the front end opening of the shaft tube, the pressurized mechanism is actuated by the ballpoint refill which is moved to the back side by a writing pressure upon writing so as to apply a pressure to the back end of the writing implement ink composition, and the pressure applied to the back end of the writing implement ink composition is configured to be adjustable by rotating the knock body of the projecting and retracting mechanism so as to move the slidable member in the back and forth direction.
