PURPOSE:To easily extract and replace spare ink of a ball-point pen by picking the point of the ball-point pen with finger at the time of its replacement by forming a notch part with which the end part of a sliding lever to be operated from the external is locked on an outer case. CONSTITUTION:The sliding lever 10 is fixed on an interlocking rod 6 for holding the spare ink 4 of the ball-point pen and operated from the outside of the case. The end part 10A of the lever 10 is locked on the case 1 and the notch part 14 to be a space required for moving the end part 10A when contacts 7, 8 are closed by the pen pressure of the pen at the time of inputting data is also formed on the case 1. At the time of inputting data, the end part 10A is moved to a prescribed position of the notch part 14 and the contacts are turned on to input the data, and at the time of not data input, the end part 10A is locked on the original position. Since the lever 10 can be slided by operation from the external and projected so that the spare ink can be picked with fingers at the time of replacing the spare ink of the ball-point pen, the spare ink of the ball-point pen can be easily replaced and the handling of the pen can be improved.
