Abstract:
1. A retractile mechanism for refills of writing instrument comprising an outer tube, a refill, an inner tube, a sliding ring with load and a compression spring wherein the outer tube having a penholder, a pen nib, a tail and a pen clip while a hollow slot with certain depth is arranged in the center of the tail, and a projecting edge on the opening of the slot is formed between the slot and the tail; the refill is inserted inside the inner tube and both the refill as well as the inner tube move synchronously so as to make the refill extend out the pen nib; the inner tube is disposed inside the outer tube and moves forward and backward freely, with a front stopper mounted on the front end thereof and an elastic claw-shaped rear stopper arranged on the rear end thereof; the diameter of the elastic claw-shaped rear stopper in contraction status is a bit smaller than the diameter of the slot of the tail so that the inner tube moves in the slot freely; the compression spring disposed inside the pen nib encloses the front end of the refill so as to hold the refill between the pen nib and a stop block of the inner tube; the sliding ring is a ring with load, enclosing the inner tube and moving freely between the front stopper and the rear stopper; when the sliding ring reaches the rear end of the inner tube, the sliding ring restrains the elastic rear stopper into the contraction status.
