Writing implement

A writing implement comprising:

• an outer casing having an open converging lower end and an open upper end, the lower end being provided with a plurality of depressions near the top of the converging lower end and an opening below said depressions and near the distal end of said casing;
• a coil spring disposed within the outer casing, the coil spring having a free upper end and a lower end comprising a coil portion and a writing material-pushing portion comprising a straight wire extending at an angle with the longitudinal axis of the coil spring said straight wire having a tip formed into a hook to correspond with said opening in the outer casing, the coil portion and writing material-pushing portion being formed integrally, the coil portion adapted to contact the depressions in the lower end of the outer casing;
• an inner tube having an open upper end and a lower end and inserted into the outer casing and through the coil spring, the inner tube having an inside channel for for storing a plurality of presharpened pieces of a writing material, the lower end of the inner tube being formed into conical clamp portions, said conical clamp portions increasing in diameter towards the lower end of the inner tube and having two slots extending from the lower open end and along the longitudinal axis of the inner tube, one of said two slots being adapted to receive therein said writing material-pushing portion and provided with an end wall slanting upwardly toward the upper end of the inner tube, the inside diameter of the inner tube being reduced at the lowermost end by an amount sufficient to frictionally hold the writing material stored therein, pressing means disposed on the outside surface of the inner tube at a distance of from about 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the inner tube from the lower end of the inner tube, said pressing means adapted for pressing on the open end of the coil spring;
• and
• a capping member adapted for blocking the open upper end of the inner tube.
