Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chalk line device comprising a retracting device which is linked to a spool via a set of gears.
  • a chalk line is attached to said spool and may either be coiled onto said spool or uncoiled from said spool.
  • Chalk lines are widely used during building construction for marking lines on floors, walls and the like. For example, it can be used where cuts shall be made or where cabinets, shelves and other built-in furnishings are to be installed.
  • a chalk line is wound on a reel or spool and coated with dry chalk. The free end of the chalk line is held at a predetermined location and the chalk line is stretched to the opposite end of a line to be marked. The ends of the chalk line are placed against the surface to be marked and the length of the chalk line there between is stretched taut. The center of the chalk line is then drawn outwardly from that surface and released. The resiliency of the chalk line causes the line to rebound against the surface to be marked, thereby causing a linear chalk marking to be formed upon a wall or floor.
  • US2006/0144985 relates to chalk line device having a helical gear and an improved locking assembly.
  • the locking assembly comprises a first lock member having a lock button.
  • the locking assembly also comprises a second lock member including an opening to lockingly engage the first lock member and having a plurality of teeth at one end disposed adjacent one of the helical gears used in this embodiment.
  • the second lock member engages with the helical gear in response to a movement of the lock button member.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a chalk line that overcomes the above issues.
  • the invention is based on the insight that by, at least temporarily, disconnecting a force transmission to the chalk line, it is possible to prevent the chalk line from breaking.
  • the invention relates to a chalk line device comprising a retracting device which is linked to a spool via a set of gears, a chalk line which is attached to said spool and which may either be coiled onto said spool or uncoiled from said spool.
  • the retracting device is a rotatable crank. Said set of gears and said spool being rotatably disposed inside a housing to rewind the uncoiled chalk line when said retracting device transmits a force onto said spool via said set of gears.
  • a force transmitting link may be a connection or an engagement between two parts where a force is transmitted during rewinding the chalk line.
  • a connection/engagement can be between the retracting device and the set of gears, between two gears in the set of gears, between the set of gears and the spool or anywhere were it is possible to disconnect two parts in order to disconnect the links between the retraction device and the spool.
  • the set of gears may be designed in such a way that at least two connected meshing gears separate from each other when the torque exceeds the threshold value.
  • the connection can be a mutually matching engagement accomplished by mutually matching teeth where the teeth are so design that when the torque exceeds its threshold value the mutually matching teeth connection separates from each other and/or separates and connects by turns.
  • the retracting device or the set of gears may have thin wings/protrusions/flat springs which are in a force transmitting engagement/connection with the other part, i.e. the set of gears or retracting device. The thin protrusion may then be so designed that it snaps over the contact area of the other part when the torque exceeds the threshold value.
  • the thin protrusion is arranged on the retracting device and the set of gears has at least one surface which connects with the thin protrusion.
  • the retracting device is rotated in order to rewind the chalk line onto the spool, the thin protrusion pushes the set of gears in a rotational movement.
  • the torque exceeds the threshold value, the thin protrusion bends, due to its design, and it pass the engagement surface, i.e. the retracting device and the set of gears disconnects.
  • this could also be the done the other way around, i.e. the thin protrusion could be on the set of gears.
  • said retracting device comprises a drive shaft which comprises at least a first connection part, which connects said retracting device to said set of gears, said set of gears comprises a mutually matching second connection part adapted to connect with said first connection part of said drive shaft, wherein said force transmitting link, which is disconnectable, is between said drive shaft and said set of gears.
  • said force transmitting link may also be arranged inside the housing and may therefore be protected from the outside environment i.e. dirt and handling of the chalk line device during use, storing and transportation.
  • said first connection part of said drive shaft comprises at least one protrusion which protrudes perpendicular to a centre axis of said drive shaft and said mutually matching second connection part of said set of gears comprises at least one protrusion receiving part into which said protrusion of said drive shaft at least partly fits or matches.
  • This is an easy way, i.e. easy connection, to transmit the force from the retracting device to the set of gears. It is also easy to manufacture and to assemble.
  • One part may be fitted into the other, i.e. the protrusion into the mutually matching protrusion receiving part which may be a free space, in the area of connection, in the set of gears.
  • the protrusion may protrude in an angle which is not perpendicular to the centre axis, i.e. an angle which is larger or smaller than 90° or they may protrude in the direction of the centre axis of the drive shaft.
  • said protrusion of said first connection part of said drive shaft comprises a first guiding means
  • said second connection part comprises mutually matching first guiding elements to said first guiding means, and when said torque exceeds said threshold value said first guiding means and said first guiding element guides said drive shaft and said set of gears to move from their connected position to a disconnected position.
  • said protrusion of said first connection part of said drive shaft comprises a second guiding means, and said second connection part of said set of gears, comprises a mutual matching second guiding element to said second guiding means, wherein said second guiding means and said second guiding elements guides said drive shaft and said set of gears back from their disconnected position to a connected position.
  • said first guiding means and first guiding element each comprise an inclined surface on said protrusion and on said protrusion receiving part.
  • Inclined surfaces are easy to manufacture and easy to control.
  • the threshold value of the torque may be determined by the friction between the two inclined surfaces and the inclination of the inclined surfaces.
  • said second guiding means and second guiding elements each comprise an inclined surface on said protrusion and on said protrusion receiving part.
  • said chalk line device further comprises a spring, which is arranged in connection with said drive shaft in such a way that said spring keeps said drive shaft in connection with said set of gears when said torque is below said threshold value.
  • a spring is an easy and effective way, since a spring is flexible and can be compressed or stretched when the two parts disconnects.
  • the threshold value of the torque may also be determined by the spring force of the spring. It should be understood that a spring may also be used for embodiments in which said disconnectable force transmitted link is located elsewhere.
  • said spring is compressed when said drive shaft and said set of gears are disconnected and said spring forces said drive shaft and said set off gears back to a connected position together with said second guiding means and second guiding elements.
  • the spring will use its spring force to push the drive shaft and the set of gears back to a connected position. Instead of using a complicated mechanism this may be done automatically by using the spring force.
  • said spring is a coil spring.
  • the coil spring may be a simple coil spring off the shelf which is very cost effective or it may be a specially adapted spring. As an alternative a folded flat spring may be used.
  • said set of gears comprises an internal gear, to which said retracting device is linked, and an external gear, encircled by and in meshed contact with said internal gear, said external gear being linked to said spool. If the retraction device is connected to an internal gear which encircles an external gear, which obvious is smaller than the internal gear, the external gear will rotate faster than the internal gear, i.e. the spool will rotate faster than the retraction device when rewinding the chalk line onto the spool. That is, the set of gears of this kind accomplishes that the rewinding of the chalk line onto the spool is faster than it would be without this kind of set of gears.
  • said threshold value of said torque is defined by the friction and/or the inclination between said inclined surfaces of the first guiding means and first guiding element.
  • said threshold value of said torque is further defined by the spring force of said spring.
  • said protrusion of said first connection part disconnects from said protrusion receiving part and due to further exposure of said torque, said protrusion connects with said protrusion receiving part again or another adjacent protrusion receiving part. Due to rotational movement of the drive shaft or the set of gears the parts will disconnects and connects again.
  • the protrusion of the first connection part of the drive shaft disconnects from the protrusion receiving part of the second connection part. Due to the design and due to rotation of the two parts, i.e. the drive shaft and set of gears, the protrusion either connects the same protrusion receiving part again or an adjacent arranged protrusion receiving part.
  • the set of gears may have either one or several protrusion receiving parts. If it only has one protrusion receiving part, the protrusion will connect the same protrusion receiving part. If the set of gears has several protrusion receiving parts, the protrusion will connect the adjacent, in the rotation direction, arranged protrusion receiving part. If the drive shaft has several protrusions and the set of gears has the same number of protrusion receiving parts, the protrusions will jump/slip over to the next adjacent protrusion receiving part which is arranged in the rotation direction.
