Description

MEASURING TOOL COMBINING PROTRACTOR AND CARPENTER'S
INK MARKER

The present invention relates to a measuring tool and, more particularly, to a measuring tool to measure an angle or dimension of an object, such as a sheet plate, floor board, tile and the like.

A conventional measuring tool comprises a ruler, a protractor and a carpenter's ink marker and the like. When an object, such as a wooden sheet plate, floor board, tile and the like, is to be measured and located, the ruler, the protractor and the carpenter's ink marker co-operate to form inclined lines or l0 vertical lines on the surface of the object. Thus, a user can cut the object along the lines formed by co-operation of the ruler, the protractor and the carpenter's ink marker so that the object is cut to have different shapes according to the user's requirement. However, the user has to hold the ruler, the protractor and the carpenter's ink marker respectively to proceed the measuring actions, thereby greatly causing inconvenience to the user in the measuring process, and thereby decreasing the precision of measurement.

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a measuring tool, comprising a basis plate, a protractor mounted on the basis plate, and a carpenter's ink marker integrally combined with the protractor and provided with a retractable inking line attached to the protractor.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring tool combining a protractor and a carpenter's ink marker.

i Another objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring tool, wherein the carpenter's ink marker and the protractor are combined to measure and locate a large-scale or small-scale object of a building easily and quickly, thereby facilitating a user operating the measuring tool, and thereby saving the working time.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring tool, wherein the protractor is located at different positions of the object, and the inking line is movable with the carpenter's ink marker to align with the angle scales of the protractor and to form inclined or vertical lines on the surface of the object, so that the object is cut along the lines formed by the inking line to have different shapes according to the user's requirement.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring tool, wherein the carpenter's ink marker is received in the receiving seat when not in use, thereby facilitating the user storing and carrying the carpenter's ink marker.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figs. 44-50 show the measuring tool for measuring a polygonal frame.

Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1-3, a measuring tool in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a basis plate 10, a protractor 30 mounted on the basis plate 10, a carpenter's ink marker 20 integrally combined with the protractor 30 and provided with a retractable inking line 21 attached to the protractor 30, and a receiving seat 11 mounted on the basis plate 10 to receive the carpenter's ink marker 20 when the carpenter's ink marker 20 is not in use.

The basis plate 10 is a rectangular plate and has a surface provided with a plurality of screw bores 12. The basis plate 10 has a side provided with a receiving space 13 to receive a level 14 which is located between the basis plate 10 and the carpenter's ink marker 20.

The protractor 30 has a first side provided with a fixing portion 36 and a second side provided with a plurality of angle scales 31. The fixing portion 36 of the protractor 30 is located at a central portion of the angle scales 31 and provided with a positioning slit 34. The first side of the protractor 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 32, and the measuring tool further comprises a plurality of locking screws 33 extending through the through holes 32 of the protractor 30 and screwed into the screw bores 12 of the basis plate to lock the protractor 30 onto the basis plate 10. The protractor 30 has an inside provided with a substantially semi-circular opening 35 located between the fixing portion 36 and the angle scales 31.

The inking line 21 is movable with the carpenter's ink marker 20 to align with any one of the angle scales 31 of the protractor 30. The inking line 21 of the carpenter's ink marker 20 has a first end 24 retractably extending from the carpenter's ink marker 20 and a second end 26 secured to the fixing portion 36 of the protractor 30. The second end 26 of the inking line 21 is located at the central portion of the angle scales 31 of the protractor 30 and provided with a positioning bar 22 secured in the positioning slit 34 of the protractor 30 to attach the second end 26 of the inking line 21 to the fixing portion 36 of the protractor 30.
In practice, the measuring tool is initially placed on a surface of an object. When the carpenter's ink marker 20 is combined with the protractor 30 to perform a measuring function, the carpenter's ink marker 20 is movable outwardly relative to the protractor 30 to pull the inking line 21 outwardly from the carpenter's ink marker 20 as shown in Fig. 3.
