Problems solved by technology

However, this rigid structure results in a rather large and bulky coupler and thus reduces the accuracy of measurements taken eg in house corners or similar confined spaces

Embodiment Construction

[0034] Referring now to Figures 1 to 5 of the accompanying drawings, there is shown a first embodiment of a measuring device according to the present invention, indicated generally at 10, for measuring along or from an object (not shown) etc. not shown) and so on to start the measurement. The device 10 consists of an elongate member in the form of a retractable measuring tape 14 which in use protrudes from the tape case 12 and a coupling 16 which is hingedly mounted to the different free ends of the measuring tape 14 . The coupler 16 consists of a first part and a second part forming respectively a first arm 18 and a second arm 20 which are mounted substantially perpendicular to each other, as shown in FIG. 2 . The positions of the arms 18, 20 are fixed relative to each other such that regardless of the position of one of the arms 18, 20 relative to the tape measure 14, the arms 18, 20 will be arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0035] The coupling 16 is hinged and thus ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a measuring device comprising a measuring tape, and a coupling hingedly mounted to the free end of the measuring tape, the coupling comprising a first section and a second section, wherein the first section and the second section are substantially perpendicular to one another, the coupling being moveable between a first state in which the first section is disposed substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the measuring tape, and a second state in which the second section is disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a measuring device, in particular a tape measuring device consisting of a tape measure, preferably flexible, with an improved coupling or connection at its free end for contact with the point of the object to be measured / lip / edge joint. Background technique [0002] The measuring device in the prior art usually consists of a hollow tape measure box and a retractable tape measure, wherein the tape measure is wound in the tape measure box like a wire rod, and can pass through the small hole in the tape measure box when measuring Pull the tape measure out from the inside of the tape measure case. Such measuring devices also typically include a protruding coupler projecting perpendicularly from the free end of the tape measure. The coupler is shaped and sized to engage the edge of the object to be measured so as to prevent the tape measure from slipping off the object to be measured. This coupling is especially impor...
