Estado de la técnicastate of the art

Como es bien sabido, un dispositivo habitual de medición lineal de longitud del tipo mencionado comprende una cinta flexible con dos caras opuestas, y al menos una de ellas está graduada. El término “dispositivo de medición lineal con cinta graduada” incluye tanto los conocidos flexómetros, como las ruedas métricas. Un flexómetro presenta una cinta generalmente de no más de 10 m de longitud, normalmente de acero, graduada en una o dos caras, provista de un retén en el extremo inicial y que está enrollada en una carcasa mediante un muelle de retorno conectado a su extremo terminal. La rueda métrica, por su parte, comprende una cinta plana de mayor longitud que la del flexómetro, normalmente de hasta 100 m; la cinta plana suele ser de acero o fibra de vidrio y se enrolla manualmente mediante una manivela en una carcasa cerrada o abierta, posiblemente provista de un asa.As is well known, a common device for measuring linear length of the aforementioned type comprises a flexible tape with two opposite faces, and at least one of them is graduated. The term "linear measuring device with graduated tape" includes both the well-known flexometers and metric wheels. A flexometer presents a tape generally not more than 10 m in length, usually made of steel, graduated on one or both sides, provided with a stopper at the initial end and which is wound on a casing by means of a return spring connected to its end. terminal. The metric wheel, for its part, includes a flat tape that is longer than that of the tape measure, normally up to 100 m; the flat ribbon is usually made of steel or fiberglass and is wound manually by means of a crank in a closed or open casing, possibly provided with a handle.

Suele haber un elemento de agarre anular conectado al extremo inicial de la cinta.There is usually an annular gripper attached to the leading end of the belt.

La cinta puede ser plana o cóncava en una primera cara, plana o convexa en la segunda cara opuesta a la primera. Como ya se ha dicho, la cinta puede enrollarse, automáticamente mediante un muelle o manualmente mediante una manivela, dentro de la carcasa definida por un armazón rígido, que la contiene cuando no se utiliza; este armazón está provisto de una abertura para el paso de la cinta.The tape can be flat or concave on the first face, flat or convex on the second face opposite the first. As has already been said, the tape can be wound up, automatically by means of a spring or manually by means of a crank, inside the casing defined by a rigid frame, which contains it when not in use; this frame is provided with an opening for the passage of the tape.

Un dispositivo de medición lineal de este tipo suele presentar la cara graduada de la cinta con un color de fondo uniforme a partir del cual la graduación es claramente visible.Such a linear measuring device usually presents the graduated side of the tape with a uniform background color from which the graduation is clearly visible.

Sin embargo, un dispositivo de este tipo puede ser mejorado para que su utilización sea más fácil e inmediata. However, a device of this type can be improved so that its use is easier and more immediate.

Descripción detallada de unas formas de realización de la invenciónDetailed description of some embodiments of the invention

Con referencia a las figuras mencionadas anteriormente, en las que elementos idénticos se indican todos con las mismas referencias numéricas, un flexómetro se indica genéricamente con el número 1 y comprende una cinta cóncava 2 extraíble de una carcasa 3 a través de una abertura de paso 3A de esta última. Dicha cinta 2 puede rebobinarse de manera conocida en un soporte giratorio (no mostrado) presente en la carcasa (o contenedor) 3, de manera automática (por ejemplo, mediante un muelle de retorno no mostrado). Todas estas características son conocidas per se. With reference to the figures mentioned above, in which identical elements are all indicated with the same numerical references, a tape measure is indicated generically with the number 1 and comprises a concave strip 2 removable from a casing 3 through a passage opening 3A of the latter. Said tape 2 can be rewound in a known way on a rotating support (not shown) present in the casing (or container) 3, automatically (for example, by means of a return spring not shown). All these features are known per se.

La cinta cóncava 2 presenta dos caras opuestas 5 y 6, y al menos una de ellas (tal como la primera cara 5, superior en las figuras que la segunda cara 6) presenta una graduación conocida.The concave band 2 has two opposite faces 5 and 6, and at least one of them (such as the first face 5, higher in the figures than the second face 6) has a known graduation.

Como se ilustra únicamente en la figura 1, en una parte de extremo 10 de la cinta 2, (es decir, la línea de la escala graduada correspondiente al cero), está presente una placa 12 habitual que, en la forma ejemplificativa mostrada, presenta forma de cuadrado, estando su primera parte 13 cóncava conectada a la cinta y estando su segunda parte 14 a 90° con respecto a su primera parte 13.As illustrated only in figure 1, in an end part 10 of the tape 2, (that is to say, the line of the graduated scale corresponding to zero), there is a usual plate 12 which, in the exemplary form shown, presents square shape, its first part 13 being concave connected to the tape and its second part 14 being at 90° with respect to its first part 13.

Según la invención, cada cara graduada 5, 6 de la cinta 2 comprende tramos de colores diferentes que se repiten de forma alterna en sucesión. Preferentemente, dichos tramos son de dos colores diferentes (y están indicados con los números 20 y 21 en las figuras). Por supuesto, también es posible hacer un grupo de varios tramos (por ejemplo, tres) de colores diferentes, que siguen alternándose a lo largo de la cinta con la misma secuencia.According to the invention, each graduated face 5, 6 of the tape 2 comprises sections of different colors that are repeated alternately in succession. Preferably, said sections are of two different colors (and are indicated with the numbers 20 and 21 in the figures). Of course, it is also possible to make a group of several sections (for example three) of different colors, which continue to alternate along the length of the tape in the same sequence.

Los tramos de distintos colores 20 y 21 presentan la misma longitud: por ejemplo, presentan una longitud de 10 cm cada uno (como en la figura 2 que representa un flexómetro) o presentan longitudes en múltiplos de 10 cm (por ejemplo, 20 cm como en la figura 4 que representa una rueda métrica). Obviamente, también en función de la unidad de medida (centímetros o pulgadas), es posible tener otras longitudes, siempre que sean iguales entre sí (por ejemplo, 10 pulgadas), de los tramos de colores, que se alternan en la misma secuencia a lo largo de la cinta.The sections of different colors 20 and 21 have the same length: for example, they have a length of 10 cm each (as in figure 2, which represents a tape measure) or they have lengths in multiples of 10 cm (for example, 20 cm as in figure 4 representing a metric wheel). Obviously, also depending on the unit of measurement (centimeters or inches), it is possible to have other lengths, as long as they are equal to each other (for example, 10 inches), of the colored sections, which alternate in the same sequence to along the tape.

Ventajosamente, además, los tramos 20 y 21 se alternan desde el extremo inicial durante al menos el primer metro de la cinta graduada 2 (o durante otra longitud inicial elegida de dicha cinta), ya que, en la práctica diaria, las mediciones más frecuentes suelen ser las más cortas. Para favorecer la intuición y la facilidad de lectura en la mente del operario, hay al menos tres tramos alternos, de dos colores diferentes (indicados con los números 20 y 21 en las figuras). Para impactar cromáticamente en la mente (o los ojos) del operario, es preferible que los colores alternos sean el blanco y el amarillo. Teniendo en cuenta que las cintas de los flexómetros generalmente son blancas o amarillas, puede comprenderse lo sencillo y económico que resulta, en términos de realización, aplicar una capa de amarillo a los tramos alternos deseados en los flexómetros con fondo blanco, o de blanco a los flexómetros con fondo amarillo.Furthermore, advantageously, the sections 20 and 21 alternate from the initial end for at least the first meter of the graduated tape 2 (or for another initial length chosen from said tape). tape), since, in daily practice, the most frequent measurements tend to be the shortest. To favor intuition and ease of reading in the operator's mind, there are at least three alternate sections, of two different colors (indicated with numbers 20 and 21 in the figures). To chromatically impact the mind (or the eyes) of the operator, it is preferable that the alternate colors are white and yellow. Considering that tapes on tape measurers are generally white or yellow, one can understand how simple and inexpensive it is, in terms of implementation, to apply a layer of yellow to the desired alternating lengths on tape measurers with a white background, or from white to the flexometers with a yellow background.

Con la utilización del flexómetro según la invención, el usuario dispone de una indicación inmediata, aunque aproximada, de una medición realizada. De hecho, durante una medición, basta con echar un vistazo a la cinta para identificar muy rápidamente, aunque obviamente no con precisión, la longitud de un objeto que está midiéndose. Esto puede ser útil cuando sólo se quiere comprender el orden de magnitud de dicha longitud, pero no se requiere un conocimiento preciso de la misma (lo cual, por supuesto, es factible).With the use of the flexometer according to the invention, the user has an immediate indication, although approximate, of a measurement made. In fact, during a measurement, it is enough to take a look at the tape to identify very quickly, although obviously not precisely, the length of an object that is being measured. This can be useful when you only want to understand the order of magnitude of that length, but you don't need precise knowledge of it (which, of course, you can).

El flexómetro es, por tanto, de utilización sencilla e inmediata. The flexometer is, therefore, simple and immediate use.
