Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a tape measure with a hand strap and a wedge piece, and is intended to expand the convenience of carrying and using this type of tape measure.

Tape measure cases are generally made from a hollow molded body such as synthetic resin, and are often split into two halves.
The tape reel for rewinding and unwinding the measure tape is built into the pivot, and the measure tape can be pulled out and retracted from the tape drawer opening that opens on the case peripheral wall. It is said to be free.

This tape measure case can be conveniently carried by locking one end of a hand strap on the surrounding wall and hooking it around the wrist or holding it in your hand, but if you carry it in your hand, there is a risk of misplacing it. However, it is not always convenient when you have a lot of luggage.

Therefore, this invention solves the above-mentioned problems by making it possible to wear this type of tape measure with a hand-held webbing cord by attaching a wedge piece to the webbing cord that can be inserted into the belt of pants. Moreover, by inserting this wedge piece into the tape ejecting opening, it can also be used as a stopper at the tape ejecting position without needing to do so.

In other words, this invention locks one end of a hand webbing to the peripheral wall of a hollow tape measure case that has a centrally built-in tape reel that allows the tape to be wound and unwound.
The other end of the hand strap has a wedge piece attached to the tape drawer opening of the tape measure case, with a wedge piece having a cross section that can be tightly and removably inserted between the upper edge of the tape drawer opening and the top surface of the tape. It is a tape measure with a webbing cord.

FIG. 1 shows a main part of an embodiment of this invention in cross section. In the figure, 1 is a measure tape, 2 is a tape reel for unwinding and winding the tape, 3, 3'
is a case half-shell with a two-piece structure forming a hollow space for pivotally housing the tape reel 2, and the mechanism of such a tape measure case itself is approximately the same as conventionally, but the embodiment shown in the figure Now, a recess r is made in the corner C diagonally to the opening 4 provided in the circumferential wall of a square synthetic resin measuring tape case for taking in and taking out the measure tape 1.
3', the case half shell 3 of this recess r,
Protrusions 5 protruding from the side surfaces substantially parallel to the face wall P of 3' are provided facing each other, and these are attached to the webbing 6 by hand.
Lock it in such a way that it passes through the loop at one end of the. On the other hand, wedge pieces 7 are attached to the loops at the rear end of the hand webbing, and these loops are tightened with clips 8.

The wedge piece 7 has an elongated nail shape as a whole, as shown in FIGS. 2a, b, and c, and has a slightly tapered tip that is curved, and the bottom surface that forms the curved outer surface has a gutter-shaped shape of the already flattened tape 1. to have a cross-sectional contour that follows . A window hole 9 is provided at the other end of this wedge piece, and the loop at the other end of the above-mentioned hand webbing is secured to this window hole 9.

As shown in Fig. 3, this wedge piece 7 is convenient for carrying around with a tape measure case on one's body by clipping it into a pants belt, etc., and does not impede the carrying of a hand webbing.

The wedge piece 7 can also be inserted into the tape draw-out opening 4 with its tip inserted into the opening 4 as shown in FIG. Convenient for predetermined length measurement.

As described above, this invention not only improves the ease of carrying a measuring tape with a hand strap so that there is no risk of misplacing it by wearing it directly on the person's body, but also the wedge piece used for this improves the ease of carrying the measuring tape with a tape measure. Since it can also be used as a fixing stopper, the convenience of use can be expanded.
