Claim Text:
1. A stylus device, comprising: a barrel housing; a tip protruding from an end opening in the barrel housing, an axial portion of a rigid core of the tip extending behind the tip into the barrel housing through the end opening; a collet receiving the axial portion of the rigid core of the tip within the barrel housing, the collet and the tip configured to move together when a force is applied to the tip, a stop surface protruding from a side of the collet; an electronic force sensor proximate to an end of the collet opposite from the tip, configured to receive the force applied to the tip; a cantilever, the electronic force sensor disposed between the collet and a beam of the cantilever, the cantilever configured to deflect, allowing the electronic force sensor to move, so as to relieve the force applied to the electronic force sensor; and an inner module within the barrel housing including the cantilever and the electronic force sensor, the end of the collet inserted into the inner module, wherein a surface of the inner module opposed to the stop surface of the collet is arranged to arrest movement of the collet relative to the electronic force sensor and the cantilever prior to the beam of the cantilever reaching a maximum deflection.
