Abstract
A continuous feed mechanical pencil includes a lead cartridge having a lead advancing mechanism responsive to forward axial movement of an actuator button protruding from the rear end of the instrument, the actuator button being fixedly attached to a pocket clip and extending a relatively short distance from the rear of the instrument housing so that the rear end of the actuator is shrouded by the rear end of the housing when the actuator button is fully depressed.
