Patent ID: 8445794

Claim:
A stylus, comprising: a housing having a receptacle defined therethrough; a tip body slidably accommodated in the receptacle of the housing; a slide enabling member slidably coupling the tip body to the housing, wherein the slide enabling member includes a sliding pin, a track, a first stopping hole, a second stopping hole, and two slits, the sliding pin is located at one of the tip body and the housing, and the track is defined at the other of the tip body and the housing; the first stopping hole is located at a first end of the track and communicate with the track by one of the slits, and the second stopping hole is located at a second end of the track and communicate with the track by the other one of the slits; the sliding pin slidably engages with the track and selectively and tightly fits in one of the first stopping hole and the second stopping hole; and a cap assembly releasably latched to the pen; wherein a latching force between the tip body and the cap assembly is larger than a latching force between the first stopping hole and the sliding pin, the latching force between the tip body and the cap assembly is smaller than the latching force between the second stopping hole and the sliding pin so the sliding pin is capable of sliding from the first stopping hole to the second stopping hole and held in the second stopping hole when exerting a pulling force on the cap assembly.
