[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, the installation position of a lighting fixture or an outlet for indoor wiring is generally defined by the height from the floor or ceiling and the distance from the position to the installation position.
I used to find the position using the difference and tape measure individually,
There has been a problem that it takes much time to index the position and the indexing accuracy is low.

Conventionally, as a means for solving such a problem, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-30965 has a pair of measuring scales provided with a scale, and a concave portion is formed along the length direction at the center of the measuring scales. Grooves are formed, elongated holes are formed inside the grooves, bolts with handles are inserted into these elongated holes, nuts are screwed into this, and the measuring scale is slidably connected along the elongated holes, At the time of use, loosen the nuts to configure the measuring ruler in a cross shape, slide each measuring ruler for a predetermined distance and fix it, and then press the ends of the measuring rules to the reference positions orthogonal to each other, and attach the intersecting position of the measuring ruler. A measuring tool that can be indexed as a position is shown.

Position 8 precisely. This situation is as shown in FIG. 18. After that, by tightening the nut 34 to hold the position and operating the marker 36, the center of the article 56 can be marked. That is, since the scales 1 and 2 have the same length and the scales 9 and 11 increase and decrease in different directions, the coincident portions of the distance display bands 10 and 13 are located at substantially the center between both ends of the scales 1 and 2. Positioned, the cursor line 28 of which corresponds to the precise center position.

As another example of use, when marking a predetermined position exceeding the entire length of the scales 1 and 2, first the cursor 25 is moved to a predetermined position of the scale 1 and the cursor line 2
After setting 8 to the predetermined scale 9, the scale 2 is moved in the length direction while holding the position of the cursor 25, the predetermined scale 11 is adjusted to the cursor line 28, and the nut 34 is tightened. Hold. By doing so, the total length of the scales 1 and 2 is set to a length corresponding to the scales 9 and 11 below the cursor line 28, and when adjusting from the normal state of FIGS. It is set to the sum length of 11.

The measuring tool thus set to a predetermined length is held, positioned at a predetermined position on the marked portions 52 and 53, and the marker holder 17 is held in advance while holding this state.
The main body 37 of the marker 36, which has been removed from FIG.
As described above, the marked portions 52 and 53 are marked by the mark pad 40 or the mark needle 49 by engaging with the cutout hole 14.

As another example of use, after setting the cursor 25 at the predetermined scale 9 position on the scale 1, the nut 34 is tightened and the marker 36 is inserted into the marker insertion hole 35. Under such circumstances, the measuring tool is pressed against the marked portion 53, the movable cylinder 39 is pressed, the mark needle 49 is inserted into the marked portion 53, and this state is maintained. While maintaining such a state, the writing tool 54 such as a pencil is attached to the notch hole 14
, And the measuring tool is turned around the mark needle 49.

In this way, a circular or arc-shaped marking line 55 having a radius of the distance between the notch hole 14 and the cursor line 28 is formed in the marked portion 53. Therefore, the marking line 55 having a desired radius of a circle or an arc can be easily formed. In this case, if the center position of the scribing line 55 is set by making full use of the embodiment of FIG. 14, the scribing line 55 can be formed around the desired position of the marked portion 53.
