Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of a marking operation by a method wherein slide tables provided on the right and left of a measuring tape as the center and having a line-drawing stylus respectively are constructed so that a straight-line mark is given thereby in a perpendicular direction in accordance with the set position of the fitted measuring tape. CONSTITUTION:A hook 15' provided in the fore end of a measuring tape 15 is set on the end face of a material, the tape is uncoiled to an intended dimension, a setting plate 3 is put on the end face of the material, and a slide table 7 on the side whereon a mark is intended to be given is pushed inward. Then a lock pin 9 drops in a hole 5' and is held therein. When the scale of the measuring tape 15 is set to the surface of the exit 14 of the tape and a key 13 is pushed, subsequently, a leaf spring 12' is released to push down a table 4, and thereby a line-drawing stylus is applied with pressure onto the surface of the material. Simultaneously the lock pin 9 of the slide table 7 touches a support 5 and is pushed up thereby to escape from a hole 5' of the support 5. Being released from a caught state, consequently, the slide table 7 is made to return instantaneously by an operation spring 11. On the occasion, a straight line mark 17 is given perpendicularly to the surface of the material 16 by the line- drawing stylus, and thus the efficiency of operation is improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention] (N Industrial Field of Application) This invention is a device for measuring one dimension, such as a tape measure. Attach to target.

It is related to the device.

('B) Conventional technology In addition to measuring dimensions, tape measures also make markings, such as peck marks, on the material using a drawing needle, pencil, ballpoint pen, stylus, etc. according to the scale. There are many fields in which work cannot be done with this method, and therefore, the current situation is to redraw the skoya to match the origin of the peke mark, which is a double effort for one worker.

(C) Problems that the invention aims to solve Generally, the work place is often not fixed, and other workers often borrow drawing needles, pencils, ballpoint pens, etc., which often causes trouble. It will become. Therefore, even if you have a tape measure, if you don't have something to mark, you can't do the work, resulting in an hour's worth of work and having to redraw the tape twice, which is a common problem for both workers. The present invention was developed in response to the strong demands of such users.

(To) Means to solve the problem Let me now explain its structure.

(a) A base plate (2) is provided on the case (1) of the tape measure, and a cover plate (3) is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of both ends, which can be freely inserted and removed.

(15 A table (4) is supported on the board (2). Two pillars (5) are erected.

(c) There is a push-up spring (6) in the center of the table (4).
A hole (5) is provided on the left and right sides to insert the table (4) into the support (5).

) The slide table (7) is equipped with a drawing needle (8) and a compression spring (8) that pushes it.
) is temporarily stopped. A stopper (9) and a spring (9) are provided.

(e) Slide table (7) and shaft Q that supports it
Attach □ and the operating spring α℃ to the table (4).

(F) An interlocking plate (2) extending from the table (4) is installed in the case (1) of the tape measure, and a leaf spring d that stops the table (4) from descending is installed adjacent to the interlocking plate (2). An operating key cIm is provided. The device is set up as described above.

(G) Effects of the Invention Next, the effects of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention in use. As shown, the tape measure can be used freely on either side of the case (1). There is a sliding table (7) equipped with a series of drawing needles (8) and a key α4 for operating them. Therefore, hang the latch fitting at the tip of the tape measure (μs) on the end surface of the material, stretch it to the desired size, place the cover plate (3) on the end surface of the material, and move the slide table (7) on the side where you want to mark the material inward with your thumb or forefinger. When pressed, the stop pin (9) will fall into the hole (55) and stop.
Next, align the dimensional scale of the tape measure @) with the exit 0→ side of the tape measure and press key 03) with your index finger to stop the table (4) from descending. The leaf spring (12f) is released and the table (4
) is pushed down, and the wire drawing needle (8) of the sly light cheaple (7) is pressed appropriately against the surface of the material α6 by the compression spring (81). At the same time, the locking pin (9) of the slide table (7) hits the upright pillar (5) and is pushed up and out of the hole (5) of the pillar (5), so the stuck state is released and the slide table (7) is instantaneously returned to its original state by the operating spring (9).

As a result, the drawing needle (8) marks the material (16): frJ at right angles with a single-letter mark 0η.

Next, when the index finger releases the key cab, the table (4)
is raised together with the slide table (7) by the push-up spring (6) and stopped. Therefore, the drawing needle (8) is made of material α6.
) away from the surface and do not cause any damage to others. There is a leaf spring on the interlocking plate (2) extending from the table (4), and this is caught on the tape measure case (1).
) prevents the slide table (7) from lowering due to the pushing operation. These operations can be performed with one hand using the tape measure case (1
) can be done lightly and quickly with the thumb or index finger while holding the It should be noted that since the cover plate (3) can move in and out freely, it can also be used on a flat surface.

(g) Other embodiments (a) As shown in FIG. 4, a magnifying glass (e) is provided at the outlet of the tape measure 05), and a reference 1IjI- is provided on the tape measure to match the scale of the tape measure 05).

(15. Ink is used instead of the drawing needle (8). It can be used to set the lead of a ballpoint pen, and can be used on wood, etc.
