Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Processing is performed from the front end of a bulb to a connection portion with a shaft along an inclined surface of the bulb, using a rotary tool that is inclined at an angle formed by a connection point of a radius of the shaft with a radius of the bulb and the front end of the bulb; then, processing of the shaft is performed, and a stylus is manufactured.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A stylus that includes a bulb on the front end of a shaft, which has a diameter greater than a diameter of the shaft, wherein the shaft and the bulb are formed of one member and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft has a corrugated section. 2. The stylus of claim 1 , wherein the corrugated section is formed of a groove. 3. The stylus of claim 2 , wherein the groove is spiral-shaped. 4. The stylus of claim 3 , wherein a material of the stylus is cemented carbide. 5. The stylus of claim 3 , wherein a material of the stylus is diamond or sintered diamond. 6. The stylus of claim 3 , wherein a material of the stylus is ceramics. 7. A method of manufacturing a stylus comprising: processing from a front end of a bulb to a connection portion with a shaft along an inclined surface of the bulb, using a rotary tool that is inclined at an angle formed by a connection point of a radius of the shaft with a radius of the bulb and the front end of the bulb; and processing the shaft. 8. The method of manufacturing a stylus of claim 7 , wherein, in the processing of the shaft, the rotary tool relatively moves with respect to the shaft so as to form a spiral-shaped groove on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft.
