JPS5928321Y2 - Tape measure for measuring the span of utility poles - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Traditionally, measuring the span of utility poles was often done by two people.

In other words, one person placed the starting point of a tape measure on the side of the telephone pole, and the other person extended the tape measure as they moved forward to measure the span.

In other words, two measurers are required to measure the span, which increases measurement costs.

In addition, when measuring by hand, the end of the tape measure is inserted into a scaffolding nail or a stick into the ground, and the measurement is fixed to this.

However, with this measurement method, the measuring shell must return to a fixed position after measurement and the end of the tape measure must be removed, so it takes time to measure, and passers-by may trip over the tape measure while pulling the tape measure and take the measurement. or motorcycle etc. caught on the tape measure,
Occasionally accidents occurred, such as measurement personnel being pulled down and falling, resulting in injury.

The present invention allows one person to safely and quickly measure the span of utility poles.

In the present invention, one end of a telephone pole wrapping tape 3 is fixed to the end of a tape measure 1, a clip 4 is attached to the other end of this tape, and one end of a supplementary tape 5 is attached near the starting point 2 of the measurement scale of the tape measure, that is, Ocm. Once it is firmly attached, leave the tape loose and attach the other end to the tape measure 1.
The present invention relates to a tape measure for measuring the span of a utility pole, characterized in that it is fixed to a tape measure.

For example, one end of a telephone pole wrapping tape 3 of about 75 cm is fixed to the end of a tape measure 1, a clip 4 is attached to the other end, and one end of an attachment tape 5 of about 68 cm is fixed near the measuring start point of the tape measure, that is, Ocm. This attachment tape is slackened and the other end is fixed at a point approximately 62 cm away from the attachment point of the attachment tape.

6 is a telephone pole.

Next, we will explain how to use a tape measure.

Wrap the utility pole wrapping tape 3 around the utility pole, and attach the tape 5 with the clip 4 so that the Ocm point of the tape measure touches the side of the utility pole.
Take the measurement by holding it in place and extending the tape measure.

After measuring, if you pull the tape a little harder, the clip 4 will come off from the attachment tape 5, so you can pull the tape back and wrap the utility pole wrapping tape 3 around the next utility pole as described above to measure the spans in sequence. .

If the object to be wrapped with the utility pole wrapping tape is a thin object such as a surveying pole, the measurement start point of the tape may deviate from the side of the object, but the length of this deviation must be added to the measured value. Then you can find the true length.

The present invention is very convenient and can shorten measurement time because the clip can be removed by simply pulling the tape measure without having to go back to remove the end of the tape measure fixed to a scaffolding nail or the like as in the past.

Furthermore, even if a passerby or a car catches the tape measure during measurement, the clip is easily released, so neither the passerby nor the measurer will be injured.

Furthermore, since the attached tape 5 is held between the clips and the scale part of the tape measure is not held, there is an excellent effect that the scale does not peel off and become unreadable.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tape measure, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a measuring method. 1 is a tape measure, 2 is the starting point of the measurement scale of the tape measure, 3 is tape for wrapping around a telephone pole, 4 is a clip, 5 is attached tape, and 6 is a telephone pole.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] Attach one end of the telephone pole wrapping tape 3 to the end of the tape measure 1, attach the clip 4 to the other end of this tape, fix one end of the attachment tape 5 near the starting point 2 of the measurement scale of the tape measure, and then attach the attachment tape 5 to the end of the tape measure 1. A tape measure for measuring the span of a utility pole, characterized in that the other end of the tape measure is made slack and the other end is fixed to a tape measure 1.
