Description
Aug. 22,v 1944. c. G. swANsoN EXTENSIBLE RULE Filed June 2, 1945 N "fmIIs/VENTOR. Carl G. 32061775071 El I Patented Aug. 22, 1944 UNITED STATESv PATENT OFFICE EXTENSIBLE RULE Carl G. Swanson, New York, N. Y.
Application June 2,1943, Serial No. 489,317 scam. c1`.sa 1s1) This invention relates to an extensible measuring rule comprising a series of sections which are slidably associated with one another in nested relationship and which may be extended and locked in end to end formation and collapsed by telescoping one section into another' and is an improvement of my patents, Nos. 2,270,227, dated January 13, 1942, and 2,270,335, dated January 20, 1942.
Among the objects of the present invention is to provide improved means for automatically locking the rule sections in extended position and for automatically releasing them as the successive sections are telescoped into one another.
Another object is to provide a rulerl which in-.
sures accurate measurements and which ts snugly against the object from which the measurements are to be taken and which will make possible accurate reproduction of the measurement thus taken without any special manipulation or adjustment of the rule.
A further object is to provide simplicity of operation, to save time in taking the measurements, to reduce the number of parts to a minimum, and generally to provide a rule which possesses an increased durability and stability of construction and ease of manipulation.
Other objects and advantages inherent in the invention will become apparent from the following specication taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which showsby way of example an embodiment of the inventive idea.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a back view of the rule according to the invention showing the end section fully and extended and locked in position and some of the other sections partly extended.
Figure 2 is a face view. l
Figure 3 is a fragmentary side view drawn to an enlarged scale.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal section drawn to an enlarged scale.
Figure 5 is a section taken along the lineA 5--4-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is an enlarged section takenalong the line 6-6 of Figure 1.
Figure '1 is an enlarged fragmentarysectional view of the end rule section.
Throughout the drawing the same reference characters serve to indicate same or analogous parts.
Referring in greater detail to the drawing, the improved rule comprises a series of channelshaped sections I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 'I which are slidable within one another so that when the rule becoming disengaged from one another.
Adjacent the interior end of each section, except section I, a cross bar 9 is anchored rmly in the'bottom wall I0 of each channel member l by means of screws II. This cross'bar is bored to provide bearings for the' locking bolts I`2 which are urged outwardly through the slots I3 in the side walls of the corresponding section by means of the spring I4 which is accommodated in recesses in the bolts. The bolts are also provided with 'a shoulder I5 to limit their'outward projection through theslots I3. It will 'be noted, however, that when the rule is collapsed,.or while one section is slid within another section, the locking bolts are pressed inwardly'by the side wall of the adjacent or surrounding section so that the shoulder I5 will be spaced from the slots I3 as shown at the right in Figure J4.
The -side Walls of each section, except the end section 1, or, in other words, each telescoped sec-v tion, is provided adjacent' to its outer or open end with a pair of slots Il into which the locking heads snap as the sections are pulled out, thus locking two-sections together. Further extension of the first section will *drag along the next'succeeding section untilthe locking bolts of the latter snap into ythe slots I6 of the nextsucceeding section and soon.
The locking bolts l.I2 are provided with a cammed surface l1 slanting rearwardly with respect to the extension movement. That part of the locking bolts projecting through the slots IB and thezcammed surface are so proportioned and arranged that they will firmly interlock two adjacent sections in extended position as shown to the right 'of Figure 4. As the telescoping sections are pushed back into the telescoped sections, the edges I8 will ride on the cammed'surfacell and thus press the locking bolts I2 into the slots IG until the edges I8 have been fully cleared. The bolts I2 will then be in position shown in dotted lines in Figure 4. Asthe section 6 is further telescoped into section 5, the edge of the slots I8 will ride `on the cammed surface I'I and thus the lock'- ing bolts will become fully disengaged from the slots as shown to the right of Figure 4 with respect to sections and 1. so that the released section can be returned to its original nested position. Each section will become successively unlocked in the same manner upon the occurrence of the telescoping movement until the entire rule has been completely collapsed.
'I'he rule is provided with numbered scale markings upon the face thereof which is'formed by the bottom wall l of the channel members. The numbers or markings may be arranged in any suitable manner such as, for example, described in my Patent No. 2,199,364.
The outer end of the end rule section 1 is provided with a pair of spaced fixed bearing blocks in which the bar 2| is mounted for longitudinal reciprocation. The bar 2| has a reduced portion about which is wound the expansion spring 22 which abuts against the bearing block. The spring 22 normally holds the bar in extended position which is limited by the collar 23 abutting against the block 20. The youter extremityn of bar 2| is provided with a ,hook 24- which extends at right angle thereto and a slot 25 is provided inv the face wall or bottom wall I0 for accommodating this hook when pressed into the end section 1. The depth of the slot corresponds to the thickness of the hook so that the outer surface of the latter will'be in registry with the outer edge of the end section 1 when the hook is fully depressed into the slot. The bar 2| is also so adjusted by means of the collar 23 that normally the inner surface of the hook will be in registry with the outer edge of the end section 1.
In operation the hook member 24 1s pushed against the object from which the measurement is to be taken until it slot 25. When reproducing the measurement thus taken, the hook is simply caught over the edge of the object. It will be seen that by virtue of this arrangement the rule can be applied to the object and accurate measurements may be taken from considerable distances without any special aid to adjust or manipulate the end of the rule.
A specialfriction lock 0f the type described in my Patent No. 2,270,355 may be provided for the purpose of locking telescoped and partly extended section together in the attainedpositions.
This lock comprises a yoke or bridge 26 which is xed to the side walls of section 2 and provides bearing means for the threaded shaft 21. A clamping block 28 engages the shaft 21 and is moved into clamping position against the side walls of the rule sections simply by rotating the hand wheel 29.
The side walls 8 are interconnected by' cross pieces 30 which enhance the rigidity of the structure and further tends to maintain the sections in place.
It will be understood that the foregoing description is given by way of example and not by way of limitation. On the other hand, the invention may lend itself to a Variety of expressions within the scope of the following claims,
