Claim Text:
1. A pen pressure detecting module dimensioned to be housed within a case of a position indicator, a pressure transmitting member being disposed within the case of the position indicator, the pen pressure detecting module comprising: a first holder, the first holder being different from the case of the position indicator and an outer diameter of the first holder being smaller than an inner diameter of the case; a second holder; and a pressure sensing device including the pressure sensing device sensing a pressure applied to the second holder that is transmitted to the first electrode based on a change in the capacitance, the change in the capacitance being caused by a displacement of the first electrode in correspondence with the pressure; the first holder having a hollow portion formed with a cylindrical inner shape, the second holder being housed in the hollow portion, and the pressure sensing device being disposed so as to sense the pressure applied to the second holder that is transmitted to the first electrode; the first holder having a first opening at a first end of the first holder and a second opening at a second end of the first holder, the first end being opposite the second end, an inner diameter of the first opening being larger than an outer diameter of the second holder, an inner diameter of the second opening being smaller than the outer diameter of the second holder; the second holder having an engaging portion to be engaged with the pressure transmitting member to which the pressure is applied, the engaging portion having a recessed portion into which the pressure transmitting member is insertable in an axial direction of the second holder, the second opening being adjacent to the recessed portion.
