The present price increase relates to a hand-held tape measure, in particular with a metal measuring tape, consisting essentially of a frame with a retractor and one attached to the frame Handle ..

The known roll-up tape measures, as they are shown for clarity in FIGS mostly reversible hand crank attached .. The handle is attached to one of the narrow sides of the frame in a detachable or non-detachable manner ·. This hand crank is usually designed like a booklet. It runs in the direction of the frame, as shown in ligur 1a for which the handle is hand-shaped, see »H ¹ XgUr 1b and 1c

Such handle shapes and types of attachment make it difficult the handling of the tape measure a natural hand position, since the center of gravity both when unwinding and when rewinding of the tape measure lies in front of the hand and thus tilts the wrist and puts a strain on it. When rolling in the tape measure the device constantly swings back and forth due to the crank action of the right hand, making it difficult rolling in the tape measure · Likewise, the wrist becomes unnaturally tilted when the device is worn. E.g. it is not

possible at the same time the tape measure and other measuring devices, in particular Ranging poles can be carried with one hand without any effort.

The present inflation is characterized in that the Handle of the hand tape measure, like a handle or Toggle is formed.

In this innovation according to the handle training, the handle is therefore essentially parallel to the plane of the winding axis of the tape measure.

The handle according to the present hiring can / from the most diverse. Materials, if appropriate, in combination with each other, e.g .: wooden handle with. Metal bracket or molded parts made of plastic. It can be rigid with the. Connect the frame or, advantageously, attach it detachably · It is particularly advantageous to use the connection point between To provide a hinge or an adjustment device for the handle and frame, as indicated in particular by FIGS. 2e and 2f.

It is also advantageous if on the one opposite the handle At the end of the frame a veraub- or plug-in connection is provided which allows a rod-like extension to be rigidly installed there to attach.

The present innovation; be based on Figures 2a to. 2f_ clarifies, without restricting them to these specific embodiments. The handling of the tape measure and the convenient Hand position when carrying this device together with a range pole Figures 2a show. and 2b ».

In Figure 2a, a tape measure is shown, the coil axis of which runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. There is a metal bracket on frame "1 2 fastened with a screw 3. This bracket holds the actual handle 4, shown as being made of wood. Figure 2b shows a top view of the device, with the coil axis in the plane of the drawing *

Figures 2c and 2d show possible designs of the handle according to the innovation as a walking stick handle and as a toggle handle · In Figure 2c, the walking stick handle is shaped to fit »Figures 2e and 2f show advantageous forms of attachment of the handle part; on the frame * In FIG. 2e, a mandrel 5 is inserted into a hole in the handle i and can be locked in any position "for example with a screw". Figure 2f shows a fastening according to FIG 2a, is in addition provided between the grip portion and frame i a pivot 7 .. This hinge facilitates the pivoting, of the handle by a certain amount to facilitate the reeling ens "In figure-3 ^a is the rod-like. Attachment drawn, which compared to the. Handle is attached to the frame by plug or screw connection and the unwinding ^ of the tape measure facilitates if you press its tip against or into the ground at the same time.
