Description

  The present invention relates to a tape measure with a fixture that can be applied to eaves-laying construction.

  Conventionally, in the eaves-laying construction, there have been frequent dimensional measurement operations such as measuring between the eaves. For example, in order to arrange the eaves along the eaves of the roof, as shown in FIG. 9, the eaves 30 manufactured to a certain length at the eaves manufacturing factory are successively arranged along the eaves 32 of the roof. However, since the length of the roof in the eaves direction is not necessarily a multiple of the eaves 30 having a certain length, the last eaves 30 arranged in sequence are cut to an appropriate length. The length dimension of the eaves rod 30 to be cut is determined by measuring the dimensions at the construction site. Specifically, the dimensional measuring operation is performed by aligning the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C with the end of the eaves rod 30 already attached to the eaves 32 by the installer D climbing the stepladder 33 or the like. On the other hand, the contractor E who has climbed the stepladder 33 or the like reads the scale of the scale band 6 at a predetermined position. As described above, the dimension measuring work in the eaves-arrangement construction is a work at a high place performed by climbing the stepladder 33 or the like, and usually the installer D holding the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure C and the tape measure C. It was a cumbersome work requiring two contractors at the same time as the contractor E who reads the scale of the scale band 6. Therefore, it has been eagerly desired that the dimension measuring work in the eaves-laying construction can be facilitated by reducing the number of required installers.

By the way, a suction cup is attached to the tip of the tape measure scale band as in Patent Document 1, or a permanent magnet is attached to the tip of the tape measure scale band as in Patent Document 2, so that the tip of the tape measure scale band is attached. There is something that is attached to the object to be measured, and it is conceivable to use this special tape measure to perform the dimension measurement work in the above eaves installation, but the eave eave is mainly a thin plate wall that is a resin molded product In general, some eave ridges have a curved wall surface like a round eave ridge. In the above suction cups and permanent magnets, the tip of the tape measure scale band is In many cases, it cannot be held at the end, which is difficult to adopt.

  The present invention was invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and was fixed so that a single builder could perform the dimension measurement work in the eaves cage arrangement construction regardless of the shape of the eaves cage. It is an object to provide a tape measure with a tool.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a tape measure with a fixing device according to claim 1 of the present invention connects a pair of sandwiching portions 2 for sandwiching the front and back of a plate-like portion at the end of the object to be measured B via a spring 3. In addition, the tip ends of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 are closed by the biasing of the spring 3, and the base ends of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 are brought close to each other against the biasing of the spring 3. A clip portion 4 that opens between the tips, an abutment portion 5 that abuts the end portion of the measurement object B sandwiched between the clip portions 4, and a contact that abuts the measurement object B when the tape measure is in normal use. The fixing tool 1 is provided with a portion 9, and the fixing tool 1 is integrally fixed to the tip of the scale band 6, and a protruding piece from one clamping part 2 to the other clamping part 2 of the pair of clamping parts 2. 10 is protruded, and a through-hole 11 through which the projecting piece 10 is penetrated is drilled in the other sandwiching portion 2, and the projecting piece 10 is penetrated. The contact portion 5 is configured by the portion on the base side from the portion that penetrates 11, and the contact portion 9 is configured by the portion on the tip side from the portion that penetrates the through hole 11 of the projecting piece 10. The arrangement position of the portion 9 is the same as that of the contact portion 5 in the length direction of the scale band 6 .

According to this, since the fixture 1 integrally fixed to the tip of the scale band 6 is provided with the clip portion 4 for sandwiching the front and back of the plate-like portion at the end portion of the measurement object B, the clip portion 4 Thus, the tip of the scale band 6 can be attached to the end of the object to be measured B, and the builder does not hold and fix the tip of the scale band 6 to the end of the object to be measured B from the end of the object to be measured B. The dimension measuring operation can be performed, and the fixture 1 is provided with the contact portion 5 for contacting the end portion of the measurement object B sandwiched between the clip portions 4. The distance between the end of the scale band 6 and the end of the object to be measured B can be kept constant by bringing the end into contact with the contact part 5 and the accuracy of the dimension measurement from the end of the object to be measured B can be maintained. Can be secured. Further, the dimension measurement performed by attaching the tip of the scale band 6 to the object to be measured B by the clip portion 4 and the normal dimension measurement performed by bringing the tip of the scale band 6 into contact with the object to be measured B are one fixture. This can be performed with the attached tape measure A, and the versatility of the tape measure A with the fixture can be improved.

  A tape measure with a fixing tool according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in claim 1, the positions of the 0 point of the scale 7 of the scale band 6 and the contact portion 5 are matched. According to this, in a state where the fixture 1 is attached to the end portion of the object to be measured B in contact with the contact portion 5, the end portion of the object to be measured B is made to coincide with the zero point of the scale 7 of the scale band 6. It is possible to improve the convenience of the dimension measurement work from the end of the eaves bowl 30 in the longitudinal direction.

A tape measure with a fixing tool according to a third aspect is characterized in that, in the first aspect, a claw 8 is provided at the tip of the clip portion 4 to be hooked on the object B to be measured. According to this, when the object to be measured B is clamped by the clip part 4, the claw 8 can be hooked on the object to be measured B, and the attachment strength of the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure to the object to be measured B is improved. as possible out be.

  The tape measure with a fixing tool of the present invention includes a clip part that sandwiches the front and back of the plate-like part at the end of the object to be measured with a fixing tool that is integrally fixed to the tip of the scale band. The tip of the scale band can be attached to the end of the object to be measured, and at this time, the fixture has a contact portion for contacting the end of the object to be measured sandwiched between the clip portions. The distance between the tip of the scale band and the end of the object to be measured can be kept constant by bringing the end of the object into contact with the abutting part, and the accuracy of dimensional measurement from the end of the object to be measured can be improved. Therefore, when considering eaves whose main body is a thin plate wall as the object to be measured having a plate-like part at the end, that is, when measuring the dimension from the longitudinal end of the eaves The length of the eaves is the length of the eaves, regardless of the shape of the eaves, while ensuring the accuracy of dimensional measurement. It can be attached to the end of the direction, and the tip of the scale band of the tape measure that has been required in the past in the dimension measurement work from the longitudinal end of the eaves rod is held and fixed to the end of the object to be measured This eliminates the need for an installer to be performed, and allows only one installer to read the scale band to facilitate the dimension measurement operation.

  Furthermore, dimensional measurement performed by attaching the tip of the scale band to the object to be measured with the clip portion, and normal dimension measurement performed by bringing the tip of the scale band into contact with the object to be measured should be performed with a single tape measure with a fixing tool. The versatility of the tape measure with a fixing tool can be improved. Moreover, the contact part and contact part which are located in the opposing side and non-opposing side in a pair of clamping part can be comprised by one protrusion piece, and a tape measure with a fixing tool can be made into a simple structure.

The 1 to 3 show an example of a premise in the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the fixture 1 fixed to the front-end | tip part of the scale band 6 of the tape measure A with a fixture of this example is shown. This fixing tool 1 has a pair of clamping parts 2 arranged to face each other so that the distal ends thereof are in contact with each other. The base ends of the pair of clamping parts 2 are connected by a spring 3, and a graduation band is connected to the first clamping part 2a. 6 is provided with a fixing portion 12 for fixing the distal end of 6 integrally, and a gripping portion 13 extending to the proximal end side is provided on the second clamping portion 2b. Specifically, the fixture 1 of the present example is formed by bending a single rectangular plate material at two places in the central portion in the longitudinal direction so that the longitudinal ends of the plate material are in contact with each other. The plate-like spring 3 is configured at a portion between the bent portions, and the first and second sandwiching portions 2a and 2b are configured at a portion from the bent portion to the end in the longitudinal direction of the plate material. The projecting piece-like fixing portion 12 is cut and raised so as to extend toward the proximal end side of the first clamping portion 2a by making a cut 14 in the central portion in the width direction of the spring 3, and the second clamping A rectangular piece-like gripping part 13 is integrally laminated and fixed to the opposing surface of the part 2b by spot welding, and this gripping part 13 is passed through a notch 14 in the spring 3 toward the proximal end side of the second clamping part 2b. It is formed by protruding, that is, the fixture 1 of this example is almost a single plate Since formed by processing, ease of manufacturing is ensured.

  Here, the clip part 4 is configured by connecting a pair of sandwiching parts 2 (first and second sandwiching parts 2 a and 2 b) with a spring 3, and the spring 3 biases the pair of sandwiching parts 2. The distal ends of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 are opened by closing the distal ends and bringing the proximal ends of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 close to each other against the bias of the spring 3. In addition, according to the grip part 13 extended in the base end side of the 2nd clamping part 2b, when opening the clip part 4, a finger | toe can be easily applied and opening operation of the clip part 4 is made easy. . In addition, the clip portion 4 is configured such that the plate-like portion of the object to be measured B is inserted between the pair of sandwiching portions 2 from between the tips of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 to be opened and closed. If the plate-like portion of the object to be measured B is continuously inserted into the end of the object to be measured B, the end of the object to be measured B comes into contact with the inner surface of the spring 3, so that the spring 3 constitutes the contact part 5.

  Further, a claw 8 that protrudes toward the other sandwiching portion 2 is provided at the tip portion of the sandwiching portion 2. In this example, the claws 8 project from the tip portions of the pair of sandwiching portions 2, and the tips of the sandwiching portions 2 are in contact with each other only by the claws 8. The fixing portion 12 is provided with a cross-sectional shape similar to that of the scale band 6 so as to be attached to the tip of the scale band 6 (in this example, an arc-shaped cross section). A through-hole 15 for inserting a fixing tool 1 such as an eyelet or a screw for fixing the screw to the tip of the scale band 6 is formed. When the fixing tool 1 described above is fixed to the tip of the scale band 6, the tip-base direction of the fixing tool 1 is the same as the length direction of the scale band 6, and the scale 7 provided on the scale band 6. Is positioned so that the zero point of the second line coincides with the contact portion 5.

  According to the tape measure A with the fixing tool of the present example, the measured object B is held by holding the plate-like portion at the end of the measuring object B by the clip part 4 of the fixing tool 1 fixed to the tip of the scale band 6. The tip of the scale band 6 can be attached to the end of the. Note that the object to be measured B having a plate-like portion at the end includes, for example, an eaves bowl 30 whose main body is formed of a thin plate wall 30a. 1 and 3 show the dimension measuring operation from the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 performed using the tape measure A with a fixture of this example. In this case, the clip portion 4 of the fixture 1 fixed to the tip of the scale band 6 is used to hold the arbitrary thin plate wall 30a at the end in the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 so that the tip of the scale band 6 is It can be attached to 30 longitudinal ends. That is, in the dimension measuring operation from the longitudinal end portion of the eaves rod 30 using the tape measure A with the fixture of the present example, the tip of the scale band 6 of the tape measure B that has been conventionally required is attached to the eave rod 30. The installer D that is held and fixed at the end in the longitudinal direction is not required, and can be performed by only one installer E who reads the scale 7, thereby facilitating the work. In addition, since the main body of the eaves bowl 30 having a different shape such as a square shape or a round shape is generally composed of a thin plate wall 30a, the clip portion 4 sandwiching the plate-like portion of the object B to be measured has a square shape. It goes without saying that the tip of the scale band 6 can be attached to the longitudinal end of the eaves bowl 30 regardless of the shape of the round eave bowl 30.

  In addition, according to the tape measure A with the fixture of this example, when the clip portion 4 clamps the longitudinal end portion of the eaves rod 30, the claw 8 provided at the tip of the clip portion 4 increases the clamping pressure and It comes to be caught on the surface of the eaves 30 and the attachment strength of the tip of the scale band 6 to the end of the eaves eave 30 in the longitudinal direction is also improved. More specifically, since the fixing device 1 includes the contact portion 5 that coincides with the zero point of the scale 7, the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the eaves rod 30 held between the clip portions 4 is the contact portion 5. The end of the eaves rod 30 in the longitudinal direction is positioned at the zero point of the scale 7 simply by making it abut against the eaves rod 30 and the convenience of the dimension measurement work from the end of the eaves rod 30 in the longitudinal direction is also improved. It has been. Even when the contact portion 5 does not coincide with the 0 point of the scale 7, the distance between the tip of the scale band 6 and the longitudinal end of the eaves rod 30 can be kept constant. Sometimes, it is only necessary to take into account the deviation between the contact portion 5 and the zero point of the scale 7 which is a constant value, and at least the accuracy of dimensional measurement is ensured.

4 and 5 show other examples of the premise in the embodiment of the present invention. This example is a part of the fastener 1 is an modification of precedents (FIGS. 1-3), similar parts as the fixture 1 of the precedent will be omitted, it will be described different sites. The fixing device 1 of this example includes a first clamping portion 2a made of a first flat plate material 16 in which a fixing portion 12 is integrally formed at a base end portion, and a second flat shape in which a grip portion 13 is integrally formed at a base end portion. It has the 2nd clamping part 2b which consists of the board | plate material 17, and the leaf | plate spring material 18 which comprises the spring 3, and it forms by connecting the pair of clamping parts 2 arrange | positioned facing with the leaf | plate spring material 18. FIG. . That is, the fixing device 1 of this example is different from the previous fixing device 1 in that the leaf spring material 18 is composed of a member different from the pair of sandwiching portions 2, so that the clip portion 4 can be obtained by replacing the leaf spring material 18. There is an advantage that the holding force can be changed. More specifically, the tips of the pair of sandwiching portions 2 that sandwich the plate-like portion of the object to be measured B are formed so as to have a certain contact area, and the claw 8 is provided only on one of the sandwiching portions 2. And is provided so as to incline from the distal end side toward the proximal end side of the sandwiching portion 2. According to this claw 8, the inclination direction of the claw 8 is the same direction as the direction in which the plate-like portion of the measurement object B is inserted between the pair of clamping parts 2, and the measurement object between the pair of clamping parts 2 The smooth insertion of the plate-like portion of B is ensured, and the plate-like portion of the object to be measured B can be effectively prevented from coming off from between the pair of sandwiching portions 2. In addition, the contact portion 5 of this example is erected from a portion of the first clamping portion 2 a in the clip portion 4 (opposite surface of the first clamping portion 2 a), and the object B to be measured on the clip portion 4. It is composed of a rising piece 19 having a surface substantially orthogonal to the insertion direction, and the end of the object B to be measured inserted into the clip portion 4 as shown in FIG. I am trying to let you. Although not shown, the rising piece 19 may be formed by cutting the first flat plate member 16 so as to be raised toward the second flat plate member 17, which makes it easy to manufacture the fixture 1. Can be achieved.

A contact portion 9 that can be contacted is provided. The contact portion 9 is provided in the first clamping portion 2a having the fixing portion 12 and the abutting portion 5. Specifically, the abutting portion 9 is a plate surface opposite to the opposing surface of the first clamping portion 2a and abuts. It is provided at a position corresponding to the portion 5. That is, the contact portion 9 is located at the same position as the contact portion 5 in the length direction of the scale band at a position where the end of the measurement object B sandwiched between the clip portions 4 does not hit, Similarly, it is provided at a position corresponding to the 0 point of the scale 7. According to the tape measure A with the fixture of this example, the dimension measurement (see FIG. 5) performed by attaching the tip of the scale band 6 to the object B to be measured such as the eaves rod 30 by the clip portion 4 is also possible as shown in FIG. Normal dimension measurement (normal use of the tape measure) performed by bringing the tip of the scale band 6 into contact with the measurement object B such as the material 31 can be performed, that is, the versatility of the tape measure A with the fixture is improved. Is.

The Figure 8 shows an example of the shape condition of the present invention. The fixture 1 of the present example has the advantage of the previous example (the dimension measurement (see FIG. 5) performed by attaching the tip of the scale band 6 to the object B such as the eaves 30 by the clip portion 4 is also as shown in FIG. Normal dimension measurement (normal use of a tape measure) performed by bringing the tip of the scale strip 6 into contact with the object B to be measured such as the crosspiece 31 can be performed, that is, the versatility of the tape measure A with a fixture is improved. However, the manufacture of the tape measure A with a fixture is facilitated. Details will be described below. The fixture 1 of this example is provided with pivot portions 20 on the opposing surfaces of a pair of opposed sandwiching portions 2, respectively, and these pivot portions 20 are connected to each other via a spring (not shown) so as to be rotatable. A projecting piece 10 is projected from the tip of the sandwiching part 2b toward the first sandwiching part 2a, and the projecting piece 10 is passed through the through hole 11 drilled in the tip of the first sandwiching part 2a. Configured. Here, the projecting piece 10 forms the abutting portion 5 at a portion closer to the base than the portion penetrating the through hole 11, and hits at a portion closer to the tip than the portion penetrating the through hole 11.
