Abstract
A marking implement comprises a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein; the main body (2) comprises a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to the grip portion (4); a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the neck (5) completely therein and the broad grip portion (4) at least partially. The sliding mechanism (7) comprises a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of the marking element (3).

A marking implement comprising a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein, said main body (2) comprising a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to said grip portion (4);
- a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the neck (5) completely therein and said broad grip portion (4) at least partially, characterized in that said sliding mechanism (7) comprises a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of said marking element (3).
A marking implement comprising a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein, said main body (2) extending prevalently along a longitudinal axis (X) and comprising a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to said grip portion (4);
- a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3) and comprising a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the elongated neck (5) completely therein and said broad grip portion (4) at least partially, wherein said elongated neck (5) presents a cross-section which is constant along the axial extension of the elongated neck (5) and which is thinner than a cross-section of said broad grip portion (4), wherein said elongated neck (5) presents a length, measured along the longitudinal axis (X), between one-fifth and one-third of the overall length of the main body (2).
A marking implement comprising a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein, said main body (2) comprising a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to said grip portion (4);
- a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3) and comprising a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the neck (5) completely therein and said broad grip portion (4) at least partially, wherein said protective cap (6), having a first end (6′) open for insertion of the main body and a second end (6″) opposite to the first end, presents a retaining clip (22) having a first end (22a) connected to the cap (6) and a second end (22b) that is free and oriented towards the second end (6″) of the cap (6), to anchor the cap (6) and to allow the main body (2) to be slipped off the cap (6) and repositioned inside the cap (6), without ever removing the latter from the clipping position.
A marking implement comprising a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein, said main body (2) comprising a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to said grip portion (4);
- a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the neck (5) completely therein and said broad grip portion (4) at least partially, said sliding mechanism (7) comprising a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of said marking element (3) wherein internally of said broad grip portion (4) and for a partial extent of the axial extension thereof, said main body (2) has at least three radial tabs (17) that are angularly equidistant and defining a central channel (18) for passage of the marking element (3).
A marking implement comprising a main body (2) for housing a marking element (3) that is movable by sliding therein, said main body (2) comprising a broad grip portion (4) and an elongated neck (5) axially contiguous to said grip portion (4);
- a mechanism for sliding (7) said marking element (3), a protective cap (6) housing the neck (5) completely therein and said broad grip portion (4) at least partially, characterized in that said sliding mechanism (7) comprises a movement slider (8) that is slidable axially and in a controlled manner along the main housing body (2) so as to guide the advancement and retraction of said marking element (3), wherein internally of said broad grip portion (4) and for a partial extent of the axial extension thereof, said main body (2) has at least three radial tabs (17) that are angularly equidistant and delimit a central channel (18) for passage of the marking element (3), and characterized in that said fastening support (9) has, along an external lateral surface (9c) thereof, longitudinal grooves (19), where within each one a respective radial tab (17) slides, so as to enable said slider (8) to slide along said central channel (18).
