CONSTITUTION:When the interval between both side lines of a frame line drawn on a form in tabulating operation, etc., is divided equally by, for example, four, a scale main body 10 is mounted on the form. Then a CPU 14 displays a cursor at the left end of the scale display part 8b with the key input of an input part 16b. A user moves the cursor of an input part 16c to a frame line left-end correspondence position A and displays the cursor 22b fixedly. Then the CPU 14 moves the cursor to display a cursor 22b fixedly at a position B. Here, the CPU 14 makes a display for promoting a user to input an equal division number the R/T key of an input part 16d terminates the input of a division number 4, and the CPU 14 starts arithmetic. Then the CPU 14 displays a value of equally four divided distance on the display part 18b to divide the interval equally by four.

28 is a solar cell which is a power source. The scale according to the present invention is constructed as described above, and the operation thereof is as follows.
Let's talk about the functions.

First, the distance measuring means display function will be explained. As an example ii
A method of displaying a distance measurement scale with the L position in meters and the scale of 1/20 on the scale display section 18a will be described.

First, input section L6b's rFK1. Press the J key.

Then, a signal is sent to CI) U l 4 indicating that a command to display the distance measurement scale has been entered, and C
The PU 14 displays the unit on the character display section 2G. The user operates the cursor keys on the input unit 16C and presses the rR/T (return) key when the unit 1-meter is displayed from the scrolled unit group. Then, the unit "mail" is stored in the CPU 14. The CPU 14 then displays r on the character display section 26.
scALE? Display J and prompt the user to enter the scale. The user enters the input unit 16 to input the scale 1/20.
Enter "1", "/", and "20" using the numeric keypad of a, and finally press the r R/T J key of input unit 1 (id) to send the scale to the CPU 14.

When the unit and scale are input, the CPU 14 performs arithmetic processing according to a pre-built-in program, and displays a scale 2 () of 1/20 scale on the scale display section 18a. Note that any scale can be input from the input section 16a.

In addition to the above-mentioned "meter", "inch",
Units such as ``yards'', ``feet'', ``shaku'', ``ha'', and ``whales'' can be selected.

Next, the equal division function will be explained.

An example will be given in which, in tabulation work, etc., both sides of a frame line drawn on a sheet of paper (not shown) are divided into four equal parts.

First, the scale body 10 is placed on a sheet of paper (not shown) to be tabulated.

Next, press the rFK2J key on the input section IGb to select CPLJ1.
Instruct 4 to divide the work into equal parts. Then CPU 1
4 indicates rSTART? on the character display section 26 according to a pre-built-in program. J is displayed, and a cursor (not shown) is displayed at the left end of the scale display section 18b. The user uses the cursor 4-1 on the input section 16C to move the cursor within the scale display section 18b to a location A corresponding to the left end of the frame line (not shown), and presses the rsTARTJ key on the input section 16d. Then, the cursor 22a is displayed and fixed at position A. Next, the CPU 14 displays rEN on the character display section 26.
D? J is displayed, the user is prompted to input the right end position of the frame line, and a cursor (not shown) is displayed at the right end of the display section 18b. The user moves the cursor within the scale display section 18b to a location B corresponding to the right end of the frame line (not shown) using the cursor keys of the input section 16c,
Press the rENDJ key on the input section 16.Then, the cursor 22b is displayed and fixed at position HB.Thereby, the two points that equally divide the space are determined by the cursors 22a and 22b.Then, the CPUI 4 displays the -1-Yarakuta display section. to 26r
DEv s DE? J is displayed and the user is prompted to input the number of equal divisions. The user inputs "4-1" using the numeric keypad on the input section 16a, and then presses "L/T" on the input section 16d.
When the J key is pressed, the division number "4" is input to the CPU 14, the CPU 14 starts calculation, and both cursors 22a,
The distance between the cursors 22a and 22b is determined from the coordinate positions of the cursors 22a and 22b, and the distance obtained is divided by 4 to obtain the distance divided into four equal parts. cpu t 4 displays the value of the distance divided into four equal parts on the division scale 24. ,.

Display 3 pieces and divide into 4 equal parts. Division scale 24. , , are displayed, the user can easily know the position of the dividing line necessary for the tabulation.

Next, an application example will be explained.

First, when using it as a distance measurement means, for example, when calculating the actual distance from a drawing, input the metrology unit and scale into the CPU from the input section in advance, and specify both ends of the measurement line segment on the concave surface with a cursor. The distance between the two ends is determined by CPU
is obtained from the coordinate position, converted to the unit and scale input in advance, and displayed on the character display section.

Next, we will give an example of use in a protractor. Turn the scale body into a circle (
or a semicircle), provide a liquid crystal scale display on the measurement edge of the scale body, and move the cursor to the angle to be measured to measure the angle from the reference line (radius at zero angle).
The PU calculates the sine value with respect to the reference line, converts it into an angle, and displays the angle on the character display section.

Next, we will discuss the display of type width according to the phototype series.

When you want to know how many characters will fit between two predetermined points in the layout of a manuscript for phototypesetting, you specify the two points with two cursors and input the type size series. The CPU divides the width of the input series by the distance between the two cursors, and displays a division scale corresponding to the width of the input series between the two cursors. At this time, the number of characters that will fit between the two points is displayed on the character display section.

Other types of scales include scales that display logarithmic scales in addition to equally divided scales, and scales that display a single cursor by setting the reference position at a fixed location such as the end of the scale body for measurement, etc. is also possible. Although we have briefly explained the application examples, the CPU
Needless to say, software support for this is necessary.

Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. It goes without saying that many more modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, such as prevention.

(Effects of the Invention) When the scale according to the present invention is used, even if there are a plurality of drawings with different scale units, one scale is sufficient, so there is no need to prepare many types of scales, which is economical.

In addition, since it can be set to any scale, it can be used even with drawings that are off the scale of the pillars.

In addition, it can be used efficiently in tabulation work where two points are equally divided, and furthermore, it is effective in that it can be applied to various measurement and classification work as long as there is software support.
