...that keeps, (the two pieces) of a pen, tied together?

If you are talking about the cap and the pen barrel, it is called interference. When you try to put an object into a hole that is slightly smaller than the object, that's interference (or at least that's what an engineer would call it).

Friction

friction - it helps us covering the pen by the cap.
torque - rotational effect of force that keeps the refill inside by the tip of the pen. (the separated parts that r screwed together)

Most pens that I've seen are screwed together, so the force would be friction.

Threads work with shear and compresion forces not friction.

I agree with the others... friction

These are screwed together and not tied together?

friction. or perhaps elasticity.
