Knock-type writing implement

Abstract

To provide a mechanical pencil having a simpler structure and equipped with electronic components. [Solution] A mechanical pencil (3) comprises a barrel (4), a knock member (9) with an operating part (9a), a mechanical pencil mechanism (10) having a writing lead and configured to enter a writing state by knocking the operating part (9a), an electronic component (20) including a pressure sensor (24) that detects the writing pressure applied to the writing lead, and a transmission member (50) that cooperates with the mechanical pencil mechanism (10) and is configured to transmit the writing pressure received by the writing lead to the pressure sensor (24), the writing lead being arranged along the central axis of the mechanical pencil (3), and the pressure sensor (24) being arranged eccentrically relative to the central axis.
