Abstract

The device has a magnet (2) fixed on a surface of a shell or housing of a measuring tape (1) such that the magnet and the shell form a complete planar surface. A support is provided with a metal plate to receive the tape housing. A belt buckle e.g. clip or clamp, is screwed or fitted in the support such that the tape is hung in a belt of a user. The magnet is not fixed on the support, and the tape housing comprises a molding part (8), where the magnet is inserted in the molding part. The metal plate and the support form another complete plane surface.

Description

La présente innovation concerne un dispositif pour attacher le mètre à ruban à la ceinture par un système d'aimant entre le mètre à ruban et l'agrafe de ceinture. Cette attache que l'on trouve actuellement sur tous les mètres à ruban comporte une agrafe fixée directement sur le mètre à ruban , technique très utilisée mais très peu pratique. En effet, rare sont les utilisateurs à accrocher systématiquement leur mètre à ruban à la ceinture , générant l'oublie ou la perte de celui ci au moment opportun. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient en séparant le mètre à ruban de son attache ceinture le temps de l'utilisation. The present invention relates to a device for attaching the tape measure to the belt by a magnet system between the tape measure and the belt clip. This fastener that is currently found on all tape measures includes a clip attached directly to the tape measure, a technique that is widely used but very impractical. Indeed, rare are the users to systematically hang their tape measure at the belt, generating the forgetfulness or loss of it at the appropriate time. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage by separating the tape measure belt clip the time of use.

Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique : un boîtier de mètre à ruban muni sur une face d'un aimant . Le support que l'on accroche à la ceinture de l'utilisateur , comporte une plaque métallique et sera muni d'une agrafe de ceinture. Selon le mode particulier de réalisation : L'aimant (2) peut être collé ou serti dans le boîtier du mètre à ruban (1) . It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic: a tape measure housing provided on one side with a magnet. The support that is attached to the belt of the user, has a metal plate and will be provided with a belt clip. According to the particular embodiment: The magnet (2) can be glued or crimped in the case of the tape measure (1).

De préférence, l'aimant sera fixé sur le boîtier du mètre ruban, ce qui permet de le fixer sur une autre base métallique que son support . Le réceptacle ou support (3) de l'accroche ceinture sera réalisé dans le même matériau que le boîtier (1) du mètre à ruban et sera muni d'une plaque métallique (4) permettant la canalisation du champ magnétique entre le support ceinture (3) et l'aimant (2) du boîtier (1) . Il existe plusieurs catégories de mètre à ruban classés suivant la longueur qu'ils peuvent mesurer ( de 2 à 8 ml selon les modèles) . La puissance de l'aimant (2) dépendra du poids du boîtier du mètre à ruban (1). - Le support (3) peut être muni d'une attache comme une agrafe de ceinture ou d'une 25 pince (5). L' attache de ceinture (5) peut être vissée ou sertie dans le support (3) . Preferably, the magnet will be fixed on the tape measure housing, which allows to fix it on another metal base that its support. The receptacle or support (3) of the belt hook will be made of the same material as the case (1) of the tape measure and will be provided with a metal plate (4) allowing the magnetic field to be channeled between the belt support ( 3) and the magnet (2) of the housing (1). There are several categories of tape measure classified according to the length that they can measure (from 2 to 8 ml according to the models). The power of the magnet (2) will depend on the weight of the tape measure case (1). The support (3) may be provided with a clip such as a belt clip or a clip (5). The belt clip (5) can be screwed or crimped into the support (3).

Les dessins en annexe illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente en coupe le boîtier du mètre à ruban (1) avec sa réservation sur une face (8) pour recevoir l'aimant (2). - La figure 2 représente en coupe le support (3) de l'attache ceinture avec sa réservation sur une des faces (9) pour recevoir la plaque métallique (4), ainsi que l'agrafe de ceinture (5) sur la face opposée. La figure 3 représente en perspective le boîtier mètre à ruban et son support attache 35 ceinture. En référence aux schémas , le dispositif comporte le traditionnel mètre à ruban dont une face est munie d'un aimant fixé dans la réservation prévue à cet effet. Le dispositif comprend un support que l'on accroche à la ceinture ou sera fixé une plaque métallique . Cette plaque recevra le boîtier du mètre à ruban qui sera maintenu 40 par aimantation. Le support et sa plaque métallique seront muni d'un accroche ceinture tel qu'une agrafe ou une pince (5). The drawings in the appendix illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents in section the box of the tape measure (1) with its reservation on one face (8) to receive the magnet (2). - Figure 2 shows in section the support (3) of the belt fastener with its reservation on one of the faces (9) for receiving the metal plate (4), and the belt clip (5) on the opposite side . Figure 3 shows in perspective the tape measure case and its belt fastener. Referring to the diagrams, the device comprises the traditional tape measure, one side of which is provided with a magnet fixed in the reservation provided for this purpose. The device comprises a support that is attached to the belt or will be fixed a metal plate. This plate will receive the box of the tape measure which will be held 40 by magnetization. The support and its metal plate will be provided with a belt hook such as a clip or clamp (5).
