Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ruler mainly used for drawing straight lines and having a function that can be used for cutting paper or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cutting paper or the like into a straight line,
In many cases, a tool having a blade portion, such as a cutter knife, is moved along a ruler having a straight portion and cut.

[0003]

However, in the above-described method, the cutter knife is separated from the ruler and cannot cut the paper in a straight line, or the cutter knife cuts the ruler and becomes a ruler. It has been difficult to cut into a desired state due to unevenness or the like. Further, since the cutter knife and the ruler are separate bodies, there is also a problem that it takes time to search if they are placed in different places.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a ruler having a function of easily cutting paper or the like.

[0005]

The configuration of the present invention is as follows.

It comprises a ruler body having a linear hole penetrating in the thickness direction and a rail portion provided along the hole portion, and a cutter portion movably attached to the rail portion, The cutter portion has a base portion having an uneven stopper portion formed in the thickness direction of the inner peripheral surface, a pressing portion formed on the outer peripheral surface with a convex portion engaging with the stopper portion of the base portion, and a blade held by the pressing portion. The blade portion is pressed by the pressing portion and protrudes outward from the ruler body in the thickness direction.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a ruler 51 with a cutter according to an embodiment of the present invention. The ruler body 52 of the ruler 51 with a cutter is a rectangle having a long side portion A and a short side portion B, and a scale 53 for measuring the length is marked on one end surface of the long side portion A. Near the other end of the portion A, a rectangular parallelepiped hole 54 penetrating in the thickness direction is formed along the other end. The hole 54 has an opening 54a on one short side B, and the opening 54a has a closing portion 55 having the same shape as the space of the opening 54a which is detachably attached in the longitudinal direction.
Is closed by The hole portion 54 has a concave rail portion 56 that is depressed inward along the longitudinal direction. The cutter 1 is attached to the rail 56 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction.

The cutter section 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The cutter 1 has a cylindrical base 2 made of synthetic resin. The base 2 has a rail engaging portion 6 protruding from both side surfaces facing each other, and a through hole 7 penetrating in the vertical direction in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped inside. And a valley portion 4 are formed. The rail engaging portion 6 of the base 2 is fitted to the rail portion 56 of the ruler main body 52. A cutting portion 8 for fixing the blade portion 13 is fitted into the through hole 7 of the base 2. The cut portion 8 has a handle portion 15 having a substantially T-shaped cross section and a convex portion 1 having the same shape as the space portion of the through hole 7 and projecting outward on one surface.
A pressing portion 9 formed so that 0 engages with one space S defined by the peak portion 3 and the valley portion 4 of the through hole 7;
The holding portion 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped holding portion 11 which is continuous from the lower end of the pressing portion 9 and has two sides of the base 2 and two sides having substantially the same length.
A concave portion 12 is formed on the end surface of the first pressing member side. The blade portion 13 is fixed to the concave portion 12 of the holding portion 11 in a detachable state.

Next, the use of the ruler with cutter 51 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, ruler with cutter 5
1, except when used for cutting, as shown in FIG.
The blade portion 13 of the cutter portion 1 does not protrude outward in the thickness direction of the ruler main body 52, and the convex portion 10 of the pressing portion 9 is engaged in the uppermost space S of the base 2.

When cutting paper or the like using the ruler 51 with a cutter, an operator first presses the handle 15 projecting upward from the ruler body 52. Then, the blade portion 13 projects downward from the ruler body 52 as shown in FIG. With the blade 13 protruding downward from the ruler body 52 in this way, the operator grips the handle 15 and moves the cutter 1 in the longitudinal direction to cut paper or the like.

At this time, when the operator presses the handle portion 15, the convex portion 10 of the pressing portion 9 moves downward. This convex part 1
0 moves while engaging with the space S defined by the peak 3 and the valley 4 of the through hole 7, and the blade 13 cuts the paper or the like while being locked in one space S in the space S. . Here, the length of the blade portion 13 protruding outward from the ruler main body 52 differs depending on the position where the convex portion 10 of the pressing portion 9 is locked. In other words, when cutting one sheet of paper, the length of the protruding blade 13 may be short,
When cutting a plurality of sheets of paper, the protruding blade 13 needs to have the same length as the thickness of the paper because of its thickness. The length of the protruding blade 13 can be adjusted according to the amount of paper to be cut.

After cutting the paper or the like by moving the cutter unit 1 in the longitudinal direction, by pulling the handle 15 upward, the blade unit 13 does not protrude outside the ruler body 52, It can be used as a ruler for drawing straight lines.

According to the ruler with cutter 51 having the above-described structure, the cutter portion 1 is set in a state in which the pressing portion 9 of the cutter portion 1 is pressed to cause the blade portion 13 having an arbitrary length to protrude from the ruler body 52. By moving the rail portion 56 of the main body 52 in the longitudinal direction, paper or the like can be cut straight.

In the above embodiment, the closing portion 55 is provided separately from the ruler body 52, but may be integrated with the ruler body 52.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a ruler body having a linear hole penetrating in the thickness direction and a rail portion provided along the hole portion can be moved to the rail portion. And a cutter portion attached in a state, the cutter portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface with a base portion having a stopper portion formed in the thickness direction of the inner peripheral surface and a stopper portion engaging with the stopper portion of the base portion. And the blade portion held by the pressing portion, and the blade portion is pressed by the pressing portion and protrudes outward from the ruler body in the thickness direction, so that the blade portion is pressed by pressing the pressing portion of the cutter portion. The paper can be cut straight by moving the cutter part in the longitudinal direction while protruding from the ruler body, and the position where the convex part of the pressing part is locked to the engaging part of the base is changed Just adjust the length of the blade protruding from the ruler body It can therefore, in a state matching the amount of paper to cut the length of the blade portion, can be easily cut the paper or the like in a straight line. In addition, since the ruler main body and the cutter section for cutting paper and the like are integrated, it is not necessary to search for each of them, so that the number of working steps can be reduced.
