Description

Refinements introduced in the flexo-
meters

The present Utility Model application consists as indicated in its statement "Perfeccionamientos introduced in the flexometers ", whose new features construction conformation and design fulfill the mission for the specifically they have been projected with safety and effectiveness maximum

More specifically the invention relates to the introduction as an auxiliary element in the flexometer tape of a magnifying glass shaped support equipped with marking means of the measurements captured by the flexometer.

The purpose of the improvements recommended refer to the possibility thanks to them, of facilitate the reading of the measures captured by the user with the flexometer, by increasing the dimension of the numbers printed on the surface of the tape, as well as the measurement marking captured on the surface on which it is being measured.

They exist in the market and therefore can consider as a state of the art a diversity of flexometers whose box contains inside a tape with its reel that coils and unwinds from it by the pressure exerted by the user on the end of said tape, however in some cases the environment conditions in which the user moves do not it is possible due to lack of light or by the position of the user with respect to the area to be measured, a clear vision of the measure captured, which is why the known state of the art It presents certain limitations in particular conditions.

The recommended improvements include a magnifying glass holder designed to be attached to the belt of a flexometer and be able to slide along the same guided by the user, whose function is to act as magnifying glass of the aforementioned Flexometer tape to which the support surrounds, while said support includes a middle marking button whose end allows the surface marking at the exact point of the measurement.

Said support-magnifying glass can present two preferred embodiments: be integrated into the flexometer itself, so that the flexometer mouth is  specifically design to house inside the case from the flexometer to the magnifying glass support when the tape is not used; O well simply be introduced the stand-magnifier by the end of the flexometer tape when you want to use and be extracted in the same way when its use is finished, of so that the same magnifying glass can be attached to different measuring tapes, thanks to their standard measurements.

The support mentioned above presents a noticeably prismatic configuration, whose upper base is convex and whose opposite bases parallel to the tape are endowed of some "L" shaped skirts so that they allow the magnifying glass holder can slide freely solidarity with the tape, and with the faculty if you want to be able to slide relative to said tape.

In the support body-magnifying glass includes a marking means, formed by a button whose cabot is prolongs inferiorly in a stem whose end ends in a acute vertex Said button is located inside a cavity arranged inside the magnifying glass holder so that in said cavity and between the cabot and the base said cavity, has disposed of elastic means such as a spring, which allow the user to press at the right time the marking means so that the rod end effects the marking of the surface to be measured, thus allowing the user visualize a certain point of said surface, without need to dirty it with a pencil stroke pen or similar

The magnifying glass holder has been designed in one of its preferred embodiments in combination with a modification of the flexometer mouth that allows the concealment of the stand-magnifier inside the box that Contains the flexometer.

Other details and features are getting manifest in the course of the description that follows it is given in which reference is made to the drawings in this Memory are accompanied by those shown by way of illustration but not limiting a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Highlight

Figure 1 is a front elevation view of the flexometer (10) by the lower base of the body (11) thereof.

Figures 2a and 2b are two perspectives in which can be seen the flexometer (10) from which the tape emerges (15) incorporating the support-magnifying glass (14); in the figure nº 2nd the magnifying glass holder (14) must be put on and removed every whenever you want to use it, while in figure 2b the magnifying glass holder (14) is housed inside the Flexometer case (10) thanks to a mouthpiece (13) prepared For your introduction.

Figure 3 is a front elevation view side of the tape (15), partially covered by the magnifying glass support (14) and fixed (14) to (15) with the help of the elastic sheet (18).

Figure 4 is a longitudinal section to the tape (15) in elevation of the support-magnifying glass (14) in which the cabot (20) is in an extreme position with the tip (19) inside the cavity (23).

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section to the tape (15) in elevation of the support-magnifying glass (14) in which the cabot (20) is located at the lower end of the cavity (23) by pressing the spring (22) and with the tip (19) in position outgoing.

Figure 6 is a perspective of a possible realization of the support-magnifying glass (14).

Figure 7 is a cross section to the tape (15) in elevation of the support-magnifying glass (14) with its marking means (29) mounted around the tape (15).

In one of the preferred embodiments of what is the object of the present invention and as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2b, the flexometer (10) including the recommended improvements is formed by a body (11) at whose base smaller and in its vicinity a mouth (13) is provided through which the tape (15) passes and configuration according to the design of the support-magnifying glass (14), so that concealment of (14) is possible being inside the body (11), when the flexometer (10) is in the rest position and with the tape (15) fully wound in its
interior.

Another possible embodiment is that shown in Figure 2a, where the mouthpiece (13) of the flexometer (10) is the usual one in a flexometer, that is to say that it is not adapted to allow the enclosure of the support-magnifier (14) in the case (11), so that each time you want to use the magnifying glass holder (14), it should be inserted around the tape (15) at the end of the tape (15) where the
nail (16).

The magnifying glass holder (14), as can be seen in figures 4 and 5, has a substantially prismatic body whose upper base (21) is convex and acts as a magnifying glass. Said upper base (21) extends into "L" shaped skirts as can be seen in Figure 6-7, said skirts being formed by the vertical walls (25 and 26) extending perpendicularly in flanges (27). , so that the magnifying glass support (14) embraces thanks to the walls (25-26) and the tabs (27) to the tape (15) as illustrated in figures 2a, 2b, 3 and 7, the magnifying glass holder (14) being able to slide with respect (15) or to remain immobile in a certain position
mined

To help support-magnifying glass (14) in its double function of magnifying glass and marking, it has been arranged in one of the vertical walls (26) of (14) an elastic sheet (18) such and as shown in figures nº 4 to 7 that press on the lower surface of the tape (15), so that usually (14) occupies a certain position on the belt (15), being able to move (14) respect (15) by pushing the magnifying glass holder (14) to the right or left of the tape (15), also when the tape (15) is wound on the reel inside the flexometer (10) the magnifying glass holder (14) is hidden inside the body (11) thanks to the mouth (13).

The function of the support-magnifying glass (14) is to allow an increase in size of the stripes that reflect the different measurements on the surface of the flexometer, facilitating its reading to the user in those environment conditions in which it is difficult for him to determine, additionally and as is another of the purposes of the invention the magnifying glass support (14) allows measurement marking captured by incorporating marking means (29) formed by a cabot (20) and a rod (24) housed in a cavity (23) provided in the support-magnifying glass (14) and anchored so that they can follow two positions: one of rest in which the tip (19) provided at the tip of the stem (24) is located hidden inside the cavity (23) while in position of work said marking means (29) act by pressing the user with the fingertips the upper part of the cabot (20) protruding from the mouth (28) of the support-magnifying glass (14) down, at which time the tip (19) deforms the surface to be measured leaving the corresponding mark.

In the upper part of the cavity (23) they have provided projections (30) that prevent the exit of the cabot (20) by the expansive action of the spring (22).

As can be seen in figure 1 and according to it is a conventional solution at the end of the tape (15) has provided a nail (16), fixed at the end of (15) which acts as stop at the mouth (13) and push the magnifying glass holder (14), when the tape (15) is removed into the body (11) said tape (15) being wound on the reel correspondent.

Suitably described the present invention in correspondence with the attached figures it is easy to understand that may be introduced therein any modifications of detail deemed convenient as long as they are not altered the essence of the invention that is summarized in the following claims.
