DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape measure for measurement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional tape measure tape is provided with a scale and a character indicating a length based on an end portion.
1 digit number at the position of cm unit of 1-9cm, 10cm
Each position is given with two or more digits, and when one digit is black, the two or more digits are displayed in white inside the red outline to make it stand out. There are many.

[0003]

When measuring using a conventional tape measure tape, if the length of the object to be measured exceeds the measurement range of the tape measure tape, the measurement is performed in several steps, and each measured value is measured. It is necessary to perform the addition calculation while reading the data, and there is a problem that the calculation is complicated and the calculation error easily occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a measurement is performed by adding a maximum measured value of at least three digits or a value obtained by doubling the maximum measured value to each of two or more digits in a length indicating character of a tape measure tape. An auxiliary numerical value is displayed adjacent to each numerical value of two or more digits in advance.

According to the tape measuring tape of the present invention, when the length of the object to be measured exceeds the measuring range of the tape measuring tape, the tape is measured twice or three times within the range of twice or three times the maximum measured value of three digits or more. It does not require the addition calculation of each measurement value to be performed in three times.
The measurement is possible by directly reading the digit value and the scale.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an example of an embodiment of a tape measure tape according to the present invention.
It is an example of a tape measure tape having a length of 50 cm. FIG. 1A is a plan view of the left end, and FIG. 1B is a plan view of the right end.
In the drawing, 1 is a tape measure tape, 2 is a scale, 3 is a one-digit numerical value of a length display character, 4 is a numerical value of two or more digits of a length display character, 5 is an auxiliary measurement value used for the second measurement, 6 Is an auxiliary measurement value used for the third measurement.

FIG. 2 is for explaining a measuring method for the tape measure tape of the present invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. The tape measure tape 1 has a measurement range and a maximum measurement value of 150 cm, and a scale 2 every 10 cm and a numerical value 4 of two or more digits in a length display character are continuously displayed, and scales 2 and 1 in units of 1 mm.
This is a value obtained by omitting the digit number 3. The auxiliary measurement value 5 used for the second measurement, which is obtained by adding the maximum measurement value “150” to the numeric value 4 of two or more digits in the length display character, is displayed in the upper part of the numeric value 4 of two or more digits. In addition, the auxiliary measurement value 6 used for the third measurement, which is obtained by doubling the maximum measurement value “150” and adding it to the value 4 of two or more digits in the length display character, is the lower part of the value 4 of two or more digits Is displayed in.

As an example of a measuring method when the length of the object to be measured exceeds the measuring range of the tape measure tape, a measuring method when the length of the object to be measured is 420 cm will be described with reference to FIG. Since the measuring range of the tape measure tape 1 is 150 cm, the number of measurements needs to be divided into three. As the first measurement, the base point of the tape measure tape 1 is aligned with the left end of the object to be measured, and the object to be measured is marked at the position of the scale 2 at the maximum measurement value “150”. Next, as a second measurement, the reference point of the tape measure tape 1 was aligned with the mark,
A mark is made on the object to be measured at the position of the scale 2 having the maximum measurement value “150”. As the third measurement, the reference point of the tape measure tape 1 is aligned with the mark, and the length indicating character of the scale 2 corresponding to the right end of the measurement target is a numerical value 4 of two or more digits “12”.
Read "0". When obtaining the above measurement results on a conventional tape measure tape, it is necessary to perform an addition calculation of each measurement value divided into three times, and by adding and calculating “150”, “150” and “120”, the total value is obtained. Is obtained at 420 cm. When the above measurement result is obtained in the tape measure tape of the present invention, the addition calculation of the measurement values performed three times is unnecessary, and the auxiliary measurement value 6 displayed below the third measurement value “120” is used. By reading “420”, a measurement result of 420 cm can be obtained. In addition, the measured value is a single digit number 3 of 1 to 9 cm,
In the case of the position of the scale 2 in the unit of mm, the measurement result is obtained by reading the auxiliary measurement value 5 or the auxiliary measurement value 6 corresponding to the number of times of two or three measurements, the one-digit numerical value 3, and the scale 2 in this order. be able to.

Returning to FIG. 1, the description will be continued. The embodiment is an example of the invention according to claim 2 in which the auxiliary measurement values 5 and 6 are displayed. The case where the auxiliary measurement value 5 is displayed and the auxiliary measurement value 6 is not displayed is an example of the first aspect of the present invention. In the embodiment, the auxiliary measurement value 5 used for the second measurement is displayed on the upper stage, and the auxiliary measurement value 6 used for the third measurement is displayed on the lower stage, but the present invention is not limited to this. What is necessary is that the length display character is displayed at a position adjacent to the numerical value 4 of two or more digits. In addition, each measurement auxiliary numerical value 5,
It is desirable to avoid confusion by changing the shape and color of 6 to a numerical value 4 of two or more digits in length display characters.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the length of the object to be measured exceeds the measuring range of the tape measure tape, it is twice or three times the maximum measured value of three digits or more.
Within the range of less than or equal to twice, it is not necessary to perform the addition calculation of each measurement value divided into two or three times. As a result, there is an effect that measurement can be performed easily and reliably without causing a calculation error.
