US Patent 11429207 Capacitive-coupling electronic pen

A capacitive-coupling electronic pen includes a tubular housing, a signal transmission circuit arranged in the housing, a tubular conductor fixed and arranged at a predetermined position in the housing, a conductive core body including a front end protruding from an opening on one side of the housing in an axial direction and an opposite end opposite the front end that is inserted into a hollow portion of the tubular conductor such that the opposite end is movable, and a connection member that electrically connects the signal transmission circuit and the tubular conductor. A signal from the signal transmission circuit is transmitted to the core body through capacitive coupling between the tubular conductor and the core body and transmitted to an outside of the electronic pen from a tip portion of the core body when the tubular conductor and the core body are not in contact with each other.
