Abstract

See full text

A cap is provided for a writing instrument to eliminate a potential threat to safety when swallowed. The cap permits easy assembly of an inner cap into an outer shell without using any tools. The cap has an outer shell and a tip seal member (inner shell) fitted in the outer shell to form an air passage therebetween. The outer shell has a rectangular recess at one end and an annular projection on the inner surface adjacent to a bottom edge of the rectangular recess, and snap-fit projection is engageable with a barrel of the writing instrument. The tip seal member has a coupling device for holding a clip, a plurality of first and second projections frictionally engageable with the inner surface of the outer shell so that when the coupling device of the tip sealing member is press-fitted to the rectangular recess, the first projections are engaged with the annular projection of the outer shell.
