Description

Tape measure for finger protection {Measuring tape with finger guard}

The present invention relates to a tape measure for protecting a user's finger by mounting an auxiliary roller on the lower part of the tape measure housing. More specifically, a pair of rollers are mounted on the lower face of the tape outlet of the housing and the finger rests on the grip of the bottom of the housing. The hook is formed and the hook hook having a front bent piece is detachably coupled to the upper end of the end hook side end hook, which is drawn out through the tape outlet of the housing. The present invention relates to a finger tape measure for allowing the housing to be gripped through a finger seating groove, as well as for holding a front bent piece on an end hook mounted on a tape-out end and allowing a cutter or the like to be combined and used.

In general, the tape has a tape coupled to the spring inside the housing is wound on the bobbin in the form of a coil, the end hook coupled to the tape end is exposed to the outside of the tape outlet hole formed on one side of the housing lower end of the tape When the tape inside the housing is drawn out of the housing by pulling, and the end hook is released, the tape drawn out by the elasticity of the spring is rolled into the housing.

In addition, some types of tape measure are provided with locking means to prevent the tape from retreating by spring tension and being wound into the housing even when the pull tension applied to the end hook of the tape end is removed while the tape is drawn out of the housing. .

Conventional portable tape measure of such a structure consists of a round or square size of the housing that can be gripped by the user's hand, and wraps the grip part attached to the outer circumferential surface of the housing using the palm and fingers. By adjusting the locking means provided on the upper end of the housing to adjust the length of the tape drawn out through the tape lead-out hole of the housing.

Meanwhile, the conventional tape measure is used as an auxiliary means for cutting or drawing in addition to the basic purpose of measuring the length at the work site, and the length of the tape measure and the measured length are measured in various ways according to various user's tastes and usage habits. Looking at a typical use example that can be displayed as follows.

The conventional tape measure pulls out the end hook by using another hand while the user grasps the grip on the outside of the housing and draws out the tape by the length to be measured, and the tape is pulled out after fixing the end hook to the object while the tape is drawn out. Measure the length by reading the numbers on the tape near the ball.

Subsequently, when it is necessary to draw a parallel line with the cutting surface of the measuring surface or the measuring length as necessary at the same time as measuring the length of the drawn tape, the thumb and the index finger holding the grip of the housing are placed in front of the tape outlet. After moving around and holding the upper and lower surfaces of the tape, the index finger is in close contact with the end of the measuring surface to move left and right along the end of the measuring surface.

At this time, on the end hook mounted on the outgoing end side of the tape, the outside cutter and the like are fixed at the same time by using another hand that does not hold a tape measure to move horizontally to the left and right, so that work such as line drawing or cutting is made. do.

This is because the thumb and the index finger holding the grip of the housing to move the front of the tape outlet hole to wrap the tape surface is to move the index finger close to the end of the workpiece to be cut to a more accurate dimension Because it can.

However, the method of length measurement and cutting and drawing of the measured length by such a method is that the tape measure users habitually keep the index finger in close contact with the front end face of the workpiece, and then move the left and right with the finger in contact with the end face. Because of this, the end surface is not smooth or, in particular, in the case of wood, there is a problem that can be injured by the finger by being stabbed by a visible light projecting on the end surface.

In order to solve such a problem, the US has a configuration in which a marking gauge which is easy to move along the tape and slides between the tape take-out hole in front of the housing where the tape of the tape is drawn out and the end hook at the tape take-out end side is movable. Patent No. 6,497,050 is disclosed, but rather than to protect the hand holding the tape measure housing rather than to protect the hand held by the marking gauge which can be slid between the tape outlet of the housing and the end hook of the tape end. It is a structure in which a small tool for inducing a change in marking habit is added, and a fundamental improvement for protecting a finger cannot be made.

In addition, since the marking gauge is configured to be detachably coupled on the tape surface as needed, it can be easily lost, and when the marking gauge is lost, there is a disadvantage in that the conventional marking habit is used.

Meanwhile, the conventional tape measure may be performed by measuring only the length of the measured tape and the length of the tape, which is simultaneously measured by using the tape drawn by the end hook bent in the shape of the letter 'A' to the tape lead-out end drawn through the tape lead-out hole of the housing. When you have to move the end hook and pencil at the same time with the other hand at the same time there is a disadvantage that the accurate marking can not be made.

In order to solve this problem, US Pat. Nos. 6,691,425 and 5 of the structure in which a separate hook consisting of a body separated by a vertical plate and a horizontal plate are mounted on the tape-outing end of the tape measure instead of the "a" shaped end hook. 6,691, 426 has been disclosed, but the conventional tape measure of such a structure is only partially the structure of the end hook mounted on the tape-out end side without considering the structure improvement of the tape body and the tape outlet hole through which the tape is drawn out. Modifications have been improved, and the end hook is a structure that allows the line to be drawn on the measurement surface using a vertical plate formed vertically extending around the tape end.

However, the conventional tape measure is configured so that the tape is supported on the measurement surface only by fixing the tape of the locking lever attached to the front of the case of the tape measure, so that the accurate length measurement by the complete support of the tape cannot be achieved, and the rolling or It is pointed out that a straight line cannot be performed due to bending.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages and problems in the tape measure, and at least one roller is provided on the front of the tape outlet of the lower part of the front of the housing and protrudes to be in contact with the end of the measuring surface. The grip portion is provided along the finger seating groove of the curved surface in the lower portion of the housing, the graduation is printed on both sides of the tape drawn out through the tape outlet hole in the front of the housing and the front bend on the upper end hook of the end side of the draw side The hook hook with fixed side is fixedly connected.When using a tape measure, contact the rollers protrudingly coupled to the front of the tape-out hole on the front end of the workpiece, and hold the housing by using the finger seating groove. To the upper end hook of the tape lead-out end The fixed hook hook allows the use of cutting aids, such as pencils or cutters, so that the user's fingers holding the housing can be accurately measured and marked and cut without having to position the finger in front of the tape outlet. It is an object of the invention to provide a one-finger tape measure for this to be performed.
