Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a tape measure with a cutter that includes various accessories such as a cutter and a writing instrument.

(Prior Art) Many conventional tape measures have been provided that are equipped with various accessories such as cutters and writing implements. However, this kind of conventional tape measure formed with various accessories such as a cutter or a writing instrument,
A cutter or writing implement, etc. is placed at any location within the tape measure case itself, taking into account the convenience of each.Not only does the installation structure of the attached instruments be uniform, but the direction of use of the attached instruments is also uniform. In other words, the cutter or writing instrument can only be used in the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out; for example, it cannot be used in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out. Therefore, there were drawbacks such as limited usage.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has a tape measure case and a cutter case, and the tape measure case is installed at the upper part of the tape measure outlet so as to be able to rise and fall freely. The cutter case is formed by installing a cutter on the outer wall so that it can be raised and lowered, and a connecting plate is integrally fixed and connected to the bottom of the cutter case. The writing instrument and the cutter can be attached to a tape measure by pivoting the tape measure case on a shaft holder that projects perpendicularly from the plate, and installing the tape measure case and the cutter case so that their backs overlap or are orthogonal to each other. The tape measure can be freely selected and used in the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out and the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An example of the implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a tape measure case having a tape measure outlet 3 at the lower part of the side surface 2 on the front end side, and the tape measure outlet 3 A writing instrument 4 such as a pencil or a ballpoint pen is installed at the upper part so as to be able to rise and fall, and is lowered to the side edge of the tape measure 5 pulled out from the tape measure outlet 3, and 6 is a cutter case on one end side of the back wall surface 7. a concave portion 8 into which the front end side surface 2 of the tape measure case 1 is fitted;
A tape measure outlet 10 is bored in the outer wall surface 9 of the cutter case 6 at the lower part of the concave surface part 8, and the tape measure outlet 10 overlaps and penetrates the tape measure outlet 3 of the tape measure case 1.
1 is formed by drilling an opening therein and installing a cutter 12 on the other end side of the outer wall surface 9 so as to be able to move up and down;
is a connecting plate formed by integrally protruding orthogonally a shaft bearing 15 on the tip side of a long plate part 14, and the long plate part 14 of this connecting plate 13 is fixedly installed integrally on the bottom surface of the cutter case 6. A long hole 17 in the longitudinal direction is bored through the bottom surface 16 of the tape measure case 1, and the shaft support 15 of the connecting plate 13 is pivotally installed in the long hole 17 via a pivot 18, and a spring is attached to the pivot 18. 19
It is constructed by connecting one end of the tape measure case 1 and fixing the other end to the rear end side of the tape measure case 1 opposite to the tape measure outlet 3.

The connecting plate 13 has a shaft support 15 formed as a raised surface 20 higher than the long plate part 14, and the tape measure case 1 is provided with a step part 21 on the upper surface of a part of the front end on the side of the tape measure outlet 3. The end portion can be freely fitted into the concave portion 8 of the cutter case 6. Furthermore, the connecting plate 13 has notches 22, 23 at locations corresponding to the tape measure outlet 3 of the tape measure case 1 and the tape measure outlet 10 of the cutter case 6, and at the position where the writing instrument 4 descends.
24, a notch 25 is provided at an arbitrary rear position on the back wall surface 7 of the cutter case 6, and a hook 26 protruding from the back surface of the tape measure case 1 to be engaged with the notch 25 is formed. Further, 27 is a knob for raising and lowering the writing instrument 4.

(Function) Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the tape measure case 1 and the cutter case 6 are arranged as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
As shown in the figure, the tape measure case 1 can be selectively used in two ways: a state in which the back surfaces overlap each other, and a state in which the tape measure case 1 is orthogonal to the cutter case 6, as shown in FIG. That is, in order to draw or cut a line of a desired length, the tape measure case 1 and the cutter case 6 are placed on top of each other on their backs, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Since the writing instrument 4 and the cutter 12 are oriented in the same direction as the direction in which the tape measure 5 is pulled out,
The writing instrument 4 and the cutter 12 are used to draw a line or cut a line in the direction in which the tape measure 5 is pulled out. For example, when drawing a line with the length from the starting point p to the ending point q shown by the dashed line shown in FIG. Draw a line while pulling out 4, and reach the end point q when the scale of tape measure 5 reaches the desired size.
Draw up to Similarly, when cutting a desired length dimension, as shown in FIG.
2, and while moving the entire cases 1 and 6 and pulling out the tape measure 4, cutting is performed to the end point q where the scale of the tape measure 4 reaches the desired size. In this way, while pulling out the tape measure 5,
Draw or cut a line of the desired size until the scale on the tape measure 5 indicates the desired size. When drawing or cutting a line with a desired width along the reference line, the tape measure case 1 and cutter case 6 are placed perpendicular to each other as shown in FIG. Draw or cut lines of desired width. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, to draw or cut a line at a width d from the reference line x, place the zero scale of the tape measure 5 at the reference line The writing instrument 4 or the cutter 12 is used to draw lines or cut while moving the entire cases 1 and 6 while maintaining the .

To change the back surfaces of the tape measure case 1 and the cutter case 6 from overlapping to orthogonal, when pulling the tape measure case 1 backward from the position shown in FIG. The elongated hole 13 is guided to move rearward by the pivot 18, and the front end of the tape measure case 1 is retracted from the front end of the cutter case 6, as shown in FIG. Then, when the tape measure case 1 is rotated about the pivot 18 and fitted into the concave portion 8 of the cutter case 6, as shown in FIG. I am forced to do it. Then, the tape measure outlet 3 of the tape measure case 1 is overlapped and communicated with the tape measure outlet 10 of the cutter case 6.
7 is made to protrude outward from the outer wall surface 9 through the vertically elongated hole 11. Next, in order to change from the perpendicular state shown in the fourth figure to the state in which the two sides overlap each other as shown in the second figure, the tape measure case 1 can be pulled out from the concave part 8 of the cutter case 6 and rotated. . Then, by locking the hook 26 in the notch 25, the tape measure case 1 is drawn forward by the elastic force of the spring 19, and is held in the overlapping position where all ends of the two are aligned.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 7 and 8 relate to other embodiments of the present invention, in which the mutually overlapping surfaces of the tape measure case 1 and the cutter case 6 are set to the opposite surfaces of the case shown in the first figure. They are shown in combination.

(Effects) Therefore, the present invention combines a tape measure case and a cutter case, which are formed with a writing instrument that can be raised and lowered at the upper part of the tape measure outlet and can freely draw a line on the side edge of the tape measure, and overlap them on the back side of each other. We provide a tape measure with a cutter and a writing instrument that can be freely assembled or orthogonally, and the writing instrument and cutter provided in each case can be freely selected and used in the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out and in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out. As a result, the drawing and cutting operations can be carried out in the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out, that is, in the length direction, and in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the tape measure is pulled out, that is, by the tape measure. It has advantages such as making it possible to perform line drawing and cutting operations at measured width intervals, and doubling the functions of a writing instrument and cutter when it is integrated with a tape measure as an accessory.
