Description

  The present invention relates to a tape measure with a fixture that can be applied to eaves-laying construction.

  Conventionally, in an eaves arrangement installation work, a dimension measurement operation such as measuring between eaves eaves is frequently performed. For example, in order to arrange eaves along the eaves of the roof, as shown in FIG. 5, eaves 30 manufactured to a certain length at the eaves manufacturing factory are successively arranged along the eaves 32 of the roof. However, since the length of the roof in the eaves direction is not necessarily a multiple of the eaves 30 having a certain length, the last eaves 30 arranged in sequence are cut to an appropriate length. The length dimension of the eaves rod 30 to be cut is determined by measuring the dimensions at the construction site. Specifically, the dimensional measuring operation is performed by aligning the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C with the end of the eaves rod 30 already attached to the eaves 32 by the installer D climbing the stepladder 33 or the like. On the other hand, the contractor E who has climbed the stepladder 33 or the like reads the scale of the scale band 6 at a predetermined position. As described above, the dimension measurement work in the eaves-arrangement construction is usually performed by two persons, an installer D holding the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C and an installer E reading the scale of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C. It was a cumbersome work requiring a contractor at the same time. Therefore, it has been eagerly desired that the dimension measuring work in the eaves-laying construction can be facilitated by reducing the number of required installers.

  By the way, a suction cup is attached to the tip of the tape measure scale band as in Patent Document 1, or a permanent magnet is attached to the tip of the tape measure scale band as in Patent Document 2, so that the scale tape 6 of the tape measure C is attached. Although there was a thing which tried to attach the front-end | tip to the to-be-measured object B, the eaves bowl 30 as the to-be-measured object B is generally a resin molded product, and the main body is comprised by the thin plate wall 30a, and round shape Some of them have curved wall surfaces such as eaves cups, and the above suction cups and permanent magnets often cannot attach the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C firmly to the eaves bowl 30. In particular, in the dimension measurement work in the eaves ridge arrangement construction, the builder E who reads the scale 7 of the tape measure C pulls the scale band 6 so that the scale band 6 does not sag. Thus, the scaffolding of the installer E is bad, and therefore the scale band 6 may be pulled with an unexpectedly large force. Even if the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C is attached to the eaves rod 30, if the tip of the scale band 6 comes off from the eaves rod 30 under this unexpected large tensile force, the scale band 6 again The tip must not be reattached to the eaves rod 30, and the dimension measurement operation is interrupted. In other words, in the dimension measurement work in the eaves rod arrangement construction, a large attachment strength to the eaves rod 30 at the tip of the scale band 6 is required.

In addition, as in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4, in order to firmly attach the tip of the tape measure scale band to the object B to be measured, there was a pin provided at the tip of the tape measure scale band. If it is used for installation construction, a hole will be made in the eaves by inserting a pin, and the watertightness of the eaves will be impaired. Can not.

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can attach the tip of the scale band firmly to the eaves regardless of the shape of the eaves. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tape measure that can be easily performed by a single installer.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the tape measure with a fixing device according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with a fixing portion 9 at a base end portion of a plate-shaped fixing device main body 10 constituting the main body of the fixing device 1. The tip end of the scale band 6 is integrally fixed to the base end region 11b protruding from the plate surface of the plate-like fixture body 10 and the base end region 11b and bent toward the tip end of the fixture body 10 The main body juxtaposed portion 11 has a substantially L-shaped main body juxtaposed portion 11 formed of the distal end region 11 a, and the main body juxtaposed portion 11 from a position corresponding to the projecting portion of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 on the plate surface of the fixture main body 10. The protrusion 13 protrudes in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the insertion member 3 and has an insertion groove 3 that opens in the distal end direction and the width direction of the fixture 1 surrounded by the main body juxtaposed portion 11 and the fixture main body 10. then the co, project and retract itself in the groove 3 the tip area 11a through the main body juxtaposed 11 serving as one of the groove wall of the interpolation insertion groove 3 It has a bolt 4 which is to clamp the object to be measured is inserted into the insertion groove 3 between the other fastener body 10 is a groove wall of the tip and the insertion groove 3 of the bolt 4 allowed sandwiching the front and back portion 2 is formed, and a contact portion 5 on which an end portion of the object to be measured inserted into the insertion groove 3 is brought into contact is constituted by a base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 serving as a groove bottom of the insertion groove 3. The contact part 8 to be brought into contact with the object to be measured in the normal use of the tape measure not using the part 2 is constituted by the projecting piece part 13, and the position of the contact part 5 and the contact part 8 is set to the zero point of the scale band 6. Characterized by matching.

  According to this, the fixture 1 integrally fixed to the tip of the scale band 6 has the insertion groove 3 into which the plate-like portion at the end of the object to be measured B is inserted, and one groove wall of the insertion groove 3. The object to be measured B inserted into the insertion groove 3 is sandwiched between the front and back of the bolt 4 between the front end of the bolt 4 and the other groove wall of the insertion groove 3. Since the clamp part 2 made possible is provided, the clamp part 2 can firmly attach the tip of the scale band 6 to the end part of the measurement object B regardless of the thickness of the plate-like measurement object B. Even if the person does not hold and fix the tip of the scale band 6 to the end of the object to be measured B, it is possible to perform the dimension measurement work from the end of the object to be measured B and to prevent the scale band 6 from being bent. Even if the person E pulls the scale band 6 with a large force, the tip of the scale band 6 can be prevented from coming off from the end of the object B to be measured. In addition, since the fixture 1 is provided with the abutting portion 5 that abuts the end portion of the object to be measured B sandwiched between the clamp portions 2, the end portion of the object to be measured B is in contact with the abutting portion 5. Therefore, the distance between the tip of the scale band 6 and the end of the object to be measured B can be kept constant, and the accuracy of the dimension measurement from the end of the object to be measured B can be ensured.

Also, with the contact portion 8 is brought into contact with the workpiece B during normal use of the winding length the fixture 1, matching the position of the contact portion 5 and the contact portion 9 to the zero point of the scale 7 the scale band 6 Therefore, according to this , the dimension measurement performed by attaching the tip of the scale band 6 to the object to be measured B by the clamp portion 2 and the normal dimension performed by bringing the tip of the scale band 6 into contact with the object to be measured B are performed. The measurement can also be performed with the single measuring tape A with a fixing tool, and the versatility of the measuring tape A with a fixing tool can be improved.

The present invention has an insertion groove into which a plate-like part at the end of the object to be measured is inserted in a fixture integrally fixed to the tip of the scale band and penetrates one groove wall of the insertion groove. Since it has a bolt that can be protruded and retracted inside, it has a clamp part that can sandwich the object to be measured inserted in the insertion groove between the front end of the bolt and the other groove wall of the insertion groove on the front and back, With this clamp, the tip of the scale band can be firmly attached to the end of the object to be measured regardless of the thickness of the plate-like object to be measured, and the installer holds the tip of the scale band at the end of the object to be measured. Even if it is not fixed, it is possible to perform dimension measurement work from the end of the object to be measured. In addition, since the fixture has an abutting portion that abuts the end of the object to be measured sandwiched between the clamp portions, the end of the object to be measured abuts on the abutting portion and the tip of the scale band The distance from the end of the object to be measured can be kept constant, and the accuracy of dimensional measurement from the end of the object to be measured can be ensured. Here, the object to be measured having a plate-like portion at the end includes an eave ridge composed mainly of a thin plate wall, that is, the measuring tape with a fixing tool according to the present invention for measuring the dimension from the longitudinal end of the eave ridge. , While ensuring the accuracy of dimensional measurement, the end of the eaves in the longitudinal direction regardless of the shape of the eaves such as round or square and the thickness of the thin plate walls that make up the eaves The fixture attached to the end in the longitudinal direction of the eaves does not come off even if a poor anchorage operator pulls the scale band with an unexpectedly large force. Dimension measurement work can be prevented from being interrupted, that is, the tape measure with a fixing device of the present invention can be applied to the dimension measurement work from the longitudinal direction end of the eaves in the eaves installation and construction, thereby facilitating the work. Can be achieved. In addition, the dimension measurement performed by attaching the tip of the scale band to the object to be measured by the clamp part, and the normal dimension measurement performed by bringing the tip of the scale band into contact with the object to be measured should be performed with one tape measure with a fixture. The versatility of the tape measure with a fixing tool can be improved.

  The tape measure A with a fixing tool of this example can fix the fixing tool 1 integrally to the tip of the scale band 6 and can firmly hold the front and back of the plate-like part at the end of the object B to be measured. The object to be measured such as the eaves bowl 30 whose main body is formed of a thin plate wall by providing the clamp part 2 to be made and the contact part 5 for contacting the end of the object to be measured B sandwiched between the clamp parts 2 It is possible to attach the tip of the scale band 6 to the end of B in a certain state and firmly, and the dimension from the end in the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 that conventionally required two installers D and E The measurement work can be performed by one installer E while maintaining the accuracy of dimensional measurement, and the scale band 6 is also pulled by an unexpected force by the installer E having a poor footing. The end of the work is not disengaged from the end of the eaves rod 30 so as not to interrupt the work as much as possible. A measuring tape to be applied to the dimension measurement operation from the longitudinal ends of the eaves gutter 30 in eaves gutters arranged construction. Details will be described below.

  The tape measure A with a fixture of this example shown in FIGS. 1-4 has fixed the fixture 1 integrally to the front-end | tip of the scale band 6 to which the scale 7 was attached | subjected. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixture 1 has a plate-like fixture body 10 constituting the main body, and a fixing portion 9 for fixing the tip of the scale band 6 is formed at the base end portion of the fixture body 10. A substantially L-shaped main body juxtaposed part 11 that protrudes from the plate surface of the fixture main body 10 so as to be substantially orthogonal and then bent in the distal direction of the fixture main body 10 is formed and arranged in parallel to the fixture main body 10. The main body on the plate surface of the fixture main body 10 that does not face the main body juxtaposed portion 11 by drilling the insertion hole 12 at the tip portion of the bent portion of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 and the bolt 4 through the through hole 12. A projecting piece 13 is projected from a position corresponding to the projecting portion of the juxtaposed part 11 in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the main body juxtaposed part 11. For convenience, a portion on the protruding tip side from the bent portion of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 is referred to as a tip end region 11a of the main body juxtaposed portion 11, and a portion on the protruding proximal end side from the bent portion of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 is referred to as the main body. The base end region 11b of the juxtaposed portion 11 is referred to, and the fixture main body 10 and the plate surface opposite to the facing surface of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 are referred to as outer surfaces.

  Here, the groove 3 surrounded by the main body juxtaposed portion 11 and the fixture body 10 constitutes the insertion groove 3 that opens in the distal end direction and both width directions of the fixture body 10. A female screw is engraved on the inner surface of the insertion hole 12, and the bolt 4 screwed into the female screw and inserted into the insertion hole 12 is screwed into the insertion groove 3 so as to protrude and retract. Has been. In detail, the insertion hole 12 drills a through-hole penetrating the distal end region 11a of the main body juxtaposed portion 11, and communicates with the outer surface opening of the through hole on the outer surface of the front end region 11a of the main body juxtaposed portion 11. In this way, the nut material 17 is fixed. And the plate-shaped to-be-measured object B inserted in the insertion groove | channel 3 opposes the front-end | tip area | region 11a of the main body juxtaposed part 11 by screwing the volt | bolt 4 inserted in the insertion hole 12 to the fixture main body 10 side. Clamped (clamped) by the opposing surface of the fixture main body 10 and the tip of the bolt 4. That is, the clamp portion 2 is configured by the insertion groove 3 and the bolt 4. In this clamp portion 2, the tip of the bolt 4 is protruded and retracted into the insertion groove 3, so that the bolt 4 can be tightened with respect to the object B to be measured inserted into the insertion groove 3. The clamp part 2 has a structure that can easily cope with the plate-like portion of the object B to be measured having different thicknesses and can freely change the clamping strength of the object B to be measured. In addition, the end of the object to be measured B inserted into the insertion groove 3 abuts on the base end region 11 b of the main body juxtaposed part 11 that becomes the groove bottom of the insertion groove 3. The contact portion 5 is configured by the region 11b. Further, the projecting piece portion 13 constitutes a contact portion 8 to be brought into contact with the measurement object B when the tape measure is in normal use (when the clamp portion 2 is not used). When the fixing tool 1 is fixed to the tip of the scale band 6 via the fixing portion 9, the distal end-base end direction of the fixing tool 1 is the same as the length direction of the scale band 6, and the scale band The zero point of the 6 scale 7 is made to coincide with the contact part 5 and the contact part 8.

  By the way, the fixture 1 of the present example is formed by appropriately processing a single plate material. That is, the main body juxtaposed part 11 makes two straight cuts 14 from the front end side of the plate material constituting the fixture main body 10 toward the proximal direction, and appropriately selects the portion of the plate material sandwiched between the cuts 14. It is formed by bending. Specifically, the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 is formed by bending the portion of the plate material sandwiched between the cuts 14 at the deepest portion of the cut 14 at a substantially right angle with respect to the plate surface of the fixture main body 10. Therefore, the distal end region 11a of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 is formed by bending the protruding front end of the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 toward the distal end side of the fixture main body 10. Further, the projecting piece portion 13 projecting at a substantially right angle from the plate surface of the fixture main body 10 is formed by cutting and raising a plate material constituting the fixture main body 10, similarly to the main body juxtaposed portion 11. The protruding piece 13 is provided at the same position as the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed part 11 in the distal end-base end direction of the fixture main body 10, but in detail, a plate material constituting the fixture main body 10 is used. A U-shaped notch 15 is inserted, the start and end of the notch 15 are positioned at the root of the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed part 11, and the U-shaped notch is formed by a line connecting the start and end of the notch 15. The projecting piece 13 is formed by bending the portion of the plate surrounded by 15 in the direction opposite to the main body juxtaposed portion 11. The fixing portion 9 is formed by processing the base end portion of the plate material. Specifically, the fixing portion 9 has a surface shape similar to the surface shape of the scale band 6 so as to be attached to the tip of the scale band 6. A through-hole 16 for inserting a fixing tool such as an eyelet or a screw for fixing the fixing tool 1 to the tip of the scale band 6 is formed. In this example, the fixing portion 9 is planar, but if the scale band 6 has an arcuate surface shape, for example, the surface shape of the fixing portion 9 is formed in an arc shape. As described above, in the fixture 1 of this example, each part (the clamp portion 2, the contact portion 5, the contact portion 8, and the fixing portion 9) is formed by appropriately processing a single plate material. This facilitates the manufacture of the above.

  According to the tape measure A with the fixture of the present example, the workpiece B is clamped at the end of the workpiece B by the clamp 2 of the fixture 1 fixed to the tip of the scale band 6. The tip of the scale band 6 can be attached to the end of the. Here, the object to be measured B having a plate-like portion at the end includes, for example, an eaves rod 30 mainly formed of a thin plate wall 30a. FIGS. The dimension measurement operation | work from the edge part of the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 performed using is shown. In this case, an arbitrary thin plate wall 30a at the end in the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 is clamped by the clamp portion 2 of the fixture 11 fixed to the tip of the scale band 6, so that the tip of the scale band 6 is It can be attached to 30 longitudinal ends. That is, in the dimension measuring operation from the longitudinal end portion of the eaves rod 30 using the tape measure A with the fixture of this example, the tip of the scale band 66 of the tape measure B that has been conventionally required is attached to the eaves rod 30. Since the contractor D to be held and fixed at the end in the longitudinal direction is not necessary and only one contractor E who reads the scale 7 can perform the work, the work is facilitated. In addition, since the main body of the eaves bowl 30 having different shapes such as a square shape or a round shape is generally composed of a thin plate wall 30a, according to the clamp portion 2 that sandwiches the plate-like portion of the object B to be measured, the square shape It goes without saying that the tip of the scale band 6 can be attached to the longitudinal end of the eaves bowl 30 regardless of the shape of the round eave bowl 30.

  Further, at this time, according to the tightening condition of the bolts 4 constituting the clamp part 2, it is possible to easily cope with the thickness of the thin plate wall 30 a of the eaves eave 30 and to hold the end of the eave eave 30 in the longitudinal direction. The strength can also be changed, that is, if necessary, the clamp portion 2 can firmly hold the longitudinal end portion of the eaves rod 30 and firmly attach the fixture 1 to the longitudinal end portion of the eave rod 30. it can. As described in the background art, in the dimension measurement work in the eaves wall installation construction, the scale band 6 is pulled so that the scale band 6 does not sag. There is a risk that the scale band 6 will be pulled. However, according to this clamp part 2, since the front-end | tip of the scale band 6 can be firmly attached to the edge part of the longitudinal direction of the eaves bowl 30 via the fixing tool 1, the scale band 6 was pulled by the unexpected large force. Even so, it is possible to reduce the risk of the tip (fixture 1) of the scale band 6 coming off from the longitudinal end of the eaves bowl 30, and the dimension measurement work for eaves bowl arrangement construction is interrupted. It is also intended to prevent this.

In addition, since the fixture 1 includes the contact portion 5 that matches the zero point of the scale 7, the longitudinal end portion of the eaves rod 30 inserted into the insertion groove 3 of the clamp portion 2 is contacted. The end of the eaves rod 30 in the longitudinal direction is positioned at the zero point of the scale 7 simply by making it abut on the portion 5, and the convenience of measuring the dimension from the end of the eaves rod 30 in the longitudinal direction is improved. that it is also achieved.

  Further, the measuring tape A with a fixing tool of the present example is provided with a contact portion 8 capable of bringing the tip of the scale band 6 into contact with the DUT B during normal use of the measuring tape. This contact portion 8 is constituted by a projecting piece portion 13 protruding to the opposite side of the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 with respect to the fixture main body 10, that is, the contact portion 8 is a clamp portion. 2 at the position where the end of the object B to be measured inserted in the insertion groove 3 does not hit, and the length of the scale band 6 is the same as that of the abutment portion 5 formed by the base end region 11b of the main body juxtaposed portion 11 It is located at a position, and is provided at a position corresponding to the 0 point of the scale 7 in the same manner as the contact portion 5. According to the contact portion 8, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, normal dimension measurement (normal use of a tape measure) performed by contacting the end face of the crosspiece 31 or the like is also possible. In other words, the tape measure A with the fixing tool of this example can also be used for the dimension measurement performed by attaching the tip of the scale band 6 to the measurement object B such as the eaves rod 30 by the clamp portion 2 as shown in FIGS. In addition, normal dimension measurement (normal use of a tape measure) performed by bringing the tip of the scale band 6 into contact with the workpiece B such as the crosspiece 31 is also possible, and the versatility of the tape measure A with a fixture is improved. -ing
