Tombow Monograph Shaker Mechanical Penci Technical Description

The Tombow Monograph Shaker Mechanical Pencil is a mechanical pencil designed to reduce time
consumption when writing and taking notes (see Figure 1). It features many of the same components of a
standard mechanical pencil – a lead guard, an external barrel, an internal barrel, clip, and eraser. What makes
the Tombow Monograph shaker different from other mechanical pencils on the market is the innovative
Japanese shaker mechanism. This internal mechanism allows pencil lead to be extended through shaking the
pencil in addition to pressing the eraser cap to extend lead. There is also a clear window towards the bottom of
the pencil to show the inner working of the shaker mechanism. This product is available in a variety of color
combinations as well as limited edition character designs and is no larger than the standard mechanical pencil.
This pencil takes 0.5 mm mechanical pencil lead and features an eraser that extends the total height of the
pencil to approximately 7 inches.
