WILLIAM W. MORGAN, OF HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA.
SURVEYORS REEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1, 1910.
Application led February 7, 1910. Serial No. 542,577.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VILLIAM W. MORGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hollywood, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Surveyors Reel, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improved measuring tape for use by surveyors and the main object of the invention is to provide means whereby the tape may be held or locked in definite position after it has been run out to measure a definite length.
It is often necessary or desirable in surveyino to use the same length of tape repeate ly, the tape being used in the manner of a chain, and it is also desirable after the tape has been ru-n out for measurement to retain the measurement until an opportunity is afforded for record thereof. The present invention provides means whereby such retention of the tape can be quickly and readily effected.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention and referring thereto: Figure 1 is a perspective of the tape measure in locked position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the device in unlocked position. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of the device taken longitudinally of the tape support. Fig. 4f is a transverse section on the line www4 in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective of the tubular arbor' for the tape reel.
The invention is illustrated as applied in connection with the usual form of surveyors tape, the tape indicated at 1, carried by a reel 2 journaled in a frame 3, said reel 2 being provided with a handle 4 for winding the reel and the carrier frame 3 being provided with a handle 5 in the usual manner.
The reel 2 is mounted on the frame 3 by means of a tubular arbor 6 ourna-led in top and bottom plates 7, 8 of the frame 3. The top plate 7 is preferably reinforced by an additional plate 9 serving as a guide plate for the locking means hereinafter described and the tubular arbor 6 extends upwardly through this top plate 9 and is provided with tw'o diametrically opposite notches or slots 10 registering with a longitudinal slot or way 11 carried in the top plate 9. The
slots l0 and 11 are preferably undercut or dovetailed as shown. A slidin bolt or locking member 12 is mounted in t e slot or way 11 to slide longitudinally therein, the edges of said bolt 12 being fiared downwardly to fit the undercut slots 10 and 11, thereby retaining the said bolt in place. The to plate 9 is secured in place on the plate 7 a ter the bolt 12 is put in place and said top plate 9 serves to hold the bolt in position. Bolt l2 is further provided with an upwardly extending lug or projection 13, whereby the bolt may be manually operated to move it into or out of locking position. A spring indicated at 15 is preferably provided at the bottom of the way 11 beneath the sliding bolt 12 and engaging the bottom of said sliding bolt to hold the same frictionally in position.
l/Vhen a measurement is being made or the tape is being run out, the bolt 12 will be withdrawn to position shown in Fig. 2, leaving the reel free to turn. has been unwound to the required extent and it is desired to retain or set it at that length, the bolt is shoved forwardly to position shown in Fig. 1, causing the bolt 12 to engage in the notches 10 1n the arbor of the reel. It will be understood that in order to effect such locking of the reel, the reel must be turned to position to bring the slots 10 into register with the slot or way 11 and the bolt 12, but as this requires not more than one-half of a revolution of the reel in one or the other direction, it can be readily effected without materially disturbing the reading point on the tape.
What I claim is 1. A surveyors tape comprising a reel provided with a tape and with an arbor, the arbor having an undercut slot extending diametrically across its end, a frame in which said arbor is journaled, and said frame having a way, a bolt slidably mounted in said way and adapted to engage the slotted portion of the arbor, said bolt having a projection serving as a manually operating means.
2. A surveyors tape comprising a reel provided with a tape and with an arbor, a frame in which said arbor is journaled, said arbor having a diametrical slot across its When the tape end, and said frame having a Way extending my hand at Los Angeles, California, this .1st diametrically of said arbor, a bolt Slidably clay of February 1910. 1n ountedin said Way and adapted to envao'e the slotted portion of the arbor, and Sp'iig ILLIAll/L W' MORGAN' means engaging said bolt for holdingY said In prsence of-H G. T. HACKLEY,
bolt in locking or unlocking position.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto Set FRANK L. A. GRAHAM.
