Abstract

See full text

A writing instrument includes a body, a nosecone, and an adaptor each being of generally hollow tubular shape. The body, the nosecone, and the adaptor each have a first end and a second end. The first end of the adaptor is configured to slidably couple to the nosecone second end. The second end of the adaptor is coupled to the first end of the body. The writing instrument includes a writing element with a mounting end and a writing end where the mounting end is removably coupled to the second end of the body. The writing instrument includes a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the nosecone in a storage position or a writing position. In the storage position, the nosecone extends and covers the writing end. In the writing position, the nosecone retracts and the writing end of the writing element extends beyond the nosecone.
