Abstract: A knock-type electronic pen including a tubular casing, a first position indicator such as a written input indicator, a second position indicator such as an eraser, a knock cam mechanism, and a holding mechanism. The knock cam mechanism includes a knock portion including a part protruding outward from an opening at a second end of the tubular casing, and is configured to cause a tip of the first position indicator to protrude from, or be housed within, an opening at a first end of the tubular casing. The holding mechanism, in the state in which the tip of the first position indicator protrudes from the opening at the first end, returns the knock portion pushed into the tubular casing to a state of protruding from the opening at the second end such that at least a tip of the second position indicator protrudes outward.

Abstract: A position detection apparatus includes a sensor, and a controller that detects a position of a first position indicator and a position of a second position indicator through the sensor. The controller continues detecting the position of the first position indicator and halts detecting the position of the second position indicator after a state in which the positions of the first position indicator and the second position indicator are not detected changes to a state in which the position of the first position indicator is detected, and continues both detecting the position of the second position indicator and detecting the position of the first position indicator after the state in which the positions of the first position indicator and the second position indicator are not detected changes to a state in which the position of the second position indicator is detected.

Abstract: A work step of electrical connection between a writing pressure detector and a circuit element of a circuit is reduced. An electronic pen includes a writing pressure detector that detects a pressure applied to a core body disposed on one end side of a tubular chassis in the axial center direction, a circuit board for which a flexible substrate formed into a shape allowed to extend in the axial center direction is used in the chassis, and a holder housed in the chassis in such a manner as to hold the writing pressure detector and the circuit board and extend in the axial center direction. In the circuit board, a writing pressure detector placement part, a circuit placement part at which a predetermined circuit is formed, and a line part at which a line pattern that electrically connects a component of the writing pressure detector placed on the writing pressure detector placement part and a circuit element of the circuit placement part is formed are formed to line up in the axial center direction. The writing pressure detector placement part of the circuit board is held by the holder in the state of being along a direction perpendicular to the axial center direction in such a manner that the writing pressure detector can receive a pressure in the axial center direction applied to the core body through bending of the flexible substrate at a part of the line part.

Abstract: A method is provided for adjusting the resonance frequency of a resonance circuit included in an electronic pen. The method uses adjusting means for adjusting the capacitance of an internal capacitor array and measuring means for measuring an alternating magnetic field generated by the resonance circuit. The method includes (1) a step of changing the state of a predetermined portion of multiple capacitive elements constituting the internal capacitor array, and (2) a step of changing, according to reference resonance frequency variations of the resonance circuit before and after the state change, the state of a portion or all of at least one capacitive element constituting the inner capacitor array other than said predetermined portion of the capacitive elements.
