Description

  The present invention relates to a tape measure that can normally measure dimensions and can write notes on a measuring tape with a writing instrument such as a pencil or a ballpoint pen.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tape for measuring a tape measure is provided with a scale for measuring dimensions, and the scale of the object to be measured can be measured by the scale. Further, since the scale is usually provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tape, the measurer measures the dimension of the object to be measured using the scale on the favorite side.

  Some measuring tapes have a dedicated scale specialized for a specific occupation, and many have a dedicated scale on one side in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tape. In some applications, the scales on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tape are dedicated scales.

  By the way, when measuring the dimensions of a plurality of parts of an object to be measured using the measuring tape as described above, the majority of people use a memo paper or the like prepared separately for each part measured. I'm writing it down. For this reason, the measurement interruption time is long and smooth dimension measurement cannot be performed.

  The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tape measure in which an area on which a memo can be written using a writing instrument such as a pencil or a ballpoint pen is provided on a measuring tape in order to reduce the measurement interruption time. There is to do.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a tape measure according to the present invention has a scale for measuring dimensions provided near one end in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tape, and a pencil or a ballpoint pen on the tape substantially adjacent to the scale. An area where a memo can be written using a writing instrument such as is provided.

  In addition, the scale is provided near both ends in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tape.

  Further, an arbitrary mark is marked in the area.

  The scale and the area may be provided on both the front and back surfaces of the measuring tape depending on how the tape measure is used. Moreover, the size of the scales and scale numbers may be set to a desired size according to the usage pattern of the tape measure, and the area of the memo portion may be set to a desired width according to the usage mode of the tape measure. Just do it.

  At least the above-mentioned area of the above-mentioned measuring tape is subjected to surface processing or surface treatment (for example, embossing or matting) according to the conventional technique as required, and when writing notes with a writing instrument such as a pencil or ballpoint pen, letters and numbers It is desirable to be able to write clearly.

  Moreover, in order not to cause troubles in writing to the above-mentioned area, coating or film sticking for the protection of scale abrasion or tape breakage, antibacterial treatment of the measuring tape, etc. may be performed.

  The material of the measuring tape is not particularly limited, and may be formed from a resin such as glass fiber or an appropriate metal. Further, the measuring tape is appropriately curved so that the width direction of the tape is flattened or the drawn measuring tape stands upright depending on the application.

  According to the tape measure of the present invention, the dimension of the object to be measured can be normally measured with the measuring tape, and a memo is written using a writing instrument such as a pencil or a ballpoint pen adjacent to the scale for measuring the dimension on the measuring tape. Since the possible area is provided, in addition to general dimension measurement such as the length of the object to be measured, for example, when marking the dimension displayed on the design drawing (marking) on the object, the design drawing in advance By marking the display dimensions in the area adjacent to the scale on the measurement tape corresponding to the display dimensions of the design drawing, the display dimensions of the design drawing can be written quickly and accurately on the object. .

  In addition, when measuring the dimensions of a plurality of dimension measurement parts of the object to be measured, for example, the name of the measurement part is written in an area adjacent to the scale indicating the dimension of each part for each dimension measurement. Thus, since there is no long-time interruption of the measurement that has conventionally occurred due to the writing of the measurement dimensions on the memo paper, the measurement can be smoothly performed even when measuring the dimensions of a plurality of parts.

  This tape measure can normally measure the dimensions of the object to be measured, and the user can customize it to suit their own usage at the individual level. Since it can be adapted to individual usage, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use tape measure not only for professional users such as professionals but also for general users who have a hobby of work.
