ABSTRACT:
A writing instrument has a bush button affixed to a reservoir for moving the same from a retracted to a writing position against the force of a spring within a tubular body. The push button has a resilient cantilever secured thereto and extending longitudinally of the body. Formed on a distal end of the cantiliver, a fulcrum extends therefrom in a radially outward direction of the body through a clearance slot therein and is joined to a pocket clip. A catch on the pocket clip is urged against the body by virtue of the resiliency of the cantilever for positively engaging the body when the reservoir is moved from the retracted to the writing position. Preferably, a spring may be mounted to the push button for resiliently supporting the fulcrum in coaction with the cantiliver.
