Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a length of a string-like object without carrying a scale and a cutter, and to effectively make the best use of a resource and a working time. <P>SOLUTION: The string-like object is stored together with a measuring tape, the measuring tape is gripped and extended together with the string-like object by a fingers of a user at the same time, so as to extract the string-like object having a length of substantially the same as that of the measuring tape. The string-like object having a length desired by the user is obtained by cutting the string-like object while depending on a scale of the measuring tape. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a container for packing string, wrapping band, sewing thread or fishing line.
Hereinafter, a string, a band, or a thread is generically called a string-like article.

  Conventionally, when cutting a string-like article by measuring the length, the string-like article is measured by applying a measure to the elongated string-like article and cutting with a scissors or the like. In addition, when there was no ruler nearby, it was often cut into an appropriate length by visual examination.

Therefore, there were the following problems.
(I) When relying on eye examination, the string-like article could not be bundled because it was short, or conversely, it was too long, resulting in inefficiency in terms of effective use of resources and time. .
(B) When measuring with a ruler, it was necessary to carry the ruler, the string-like article and the cutter, which was troublesome.
The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.

The user can pull out a string-like article having a length approximately the same as the length of the tape measure by holding the string-like article and the tape measure for measuring the length thereof with fingers simultaneously and extending it together in the same direction while holding it. . Further, the string-like article having a length desired by the user can be obtained by cutting the string-like article depending on the scale of the tape measure. At this time, by storing the string-like article and the tape measure together, it is not necessary to have a ruler at hand as in the prior art.
Further, by providing a mark applicator formed with a magic ink pen at a position where the scale of the tape measure can be seen, it is possible to mark the string-like article after cutting for each length intended by the user.
In addition, a measuring instrument is provided for enabling measurement of the thickness of a bundle of documents having substantially the same shape.
A string-like article storage device characterized by the above.

The present invention secures the string-like article, the string-like article length measuring device, and the string-like article cutting device at hand, thereby eliminating the troublesomeness of arranging these articles in pieces.
Further, in the case of a structure in which a mark can be attached to the string-like article, the user can perform the work without looking at the measure again by relying on the mark for each intended length.
Further, in the case of a structure capable of measuring the thickness of a bundle of documents having substantially the same shape, it is possible to reduce a probability that the cutting position of the string-like article is mistaken and wasted.

そこで、利用者は古新聞の束の高さを同じ床面に置いた格納器本体（１）の厚さ計測器（１４）で計測する。前記（式１）に当てはめて引き出す長さを決め、巻尺（１０）とともに紐様物品（１１）を引き出して、巻尺（１０）の目盛を元に切断器（８）で切断することで、最適な長さの結束用の紐を得ることができる。このように正確に長さを計測することもできるが、極端に紐が長くなったり、足りなくなったりしなければ十分と考えるのであれば、厚さ５ｃｍ毎などの概ね必要長さの目印をあらかじめ巻尺の目盛部分につけておくことで、計算をする必要が無くなりすばやく作業することができる。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) An automatic winding type tape storage (2) and a spool (3) are installed inside the storage body (1). Take the tape measure (10) out from the tape measure outlet (5). The string-like article (11) is taken out from the string-like article outlet (6) and passed through the string-like article guide (7). The string-like article (11) is held by a clip (12) provided at the tip of the tape measure (10). A cutter (8) for cutting the string-like article (11) and a marker (9) for marking the string-like article (11) are arranged at positions where the scale of the tape measure (10) can be seen well. deep.
(B) In addition to the form (a), a thickness measuring device (14) for measuring the thickness of a bundle of documents is arranged. The thickness measuring instrument (14) is bent at the thickness measuring instrument hinge (15).
The present invention has the above structure.
When the structure (a) is used, the user grasps the string-like article (11) and the tape measure (10) with fingers and pulls the string-like article (11) toward the front, thereby removing the string-like article (11) from the container body ( Pull out from 1). During the drawing, the string-like article (11) can be marked with the marker (9) with a length intended by the user. Further, when the string-like article (11) having a necessary length can be pulled out, the string-like article (11) is cut and used by the cutter (8) while looking at the scale of the tape measure (10). When the user releases his / her hand from the tape measure (10), the tape measure (10) returns to the position of the tape measure outlet (5) by the ability of the automatic winding type tape measure storage (2). If the clip-like article (11) is sandwiched between the clips (12), there is a risk of being blown by the wind.
The structure (b) is an effective structure for binding standard documents such as bundled old newspapers. FIG. 3 shows a state where a bundle of old newspapers is crossed in a cross shape. If the thick solid line in FIG. 3 is a string-like article, the length A is W, the width W is H, the thickness H is F, and the length A is F, the length A required for binding can be calculated by (Equation 1).
(Formula 1) A = 2L + 2W + 4H + 2F
When bundling newspapers folded in four, L is about 27 cm, W is about 20 cm, and if the knotting F is 15 cm, the length of the portion excluding the thickness is 124 cm. It turns out that it is necessary. Therefore, if the thickness H is measured, the length A necessary for binding can be obtained. For example, when the thickness is changed at intervals of 5 cm, it can be seen that the lengths shown in the table below are necessary.

Therefore, the user measures the height of the bundle of old newspapers with the thickness measuring device (14) of the container main body (1) placed on the same floor surface. Optimizing by pulling out the string-like article (11) together with the tape measure (10) and cutting with the cutter (8) based on the scale of the tape measure (10) by determining the length to be drawn by applying to the above (Formula 1) It is possible to obtain a cord for binding with a long length. Although it is possible to measure the length accurately in this way, if it is considered sufficient if the string is not extremely long or not enough, a mark of the required length such as every 5 cm in thickness is preliminarily provided. By attaching to the scale part of the tape measure, there is no need to calculate and work can be done quickly.
