Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tape measures, and more specifically, to a tape measure hook. Background Art

[0002] A tape measure is a commonly used measuring tool. The common tape measure in life is a steel tape measure, which consists of eight components: a housing, a tape, a brake, a hook, a carrying strap, a tape spring, a shockproof protective cover, and a label. Among them, the hook, as the component used for clamping at the front end of the tape, plays a crucial role when using the tape measure.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No.: CN202322493559.X provides a tape measure hook. This solution, through the characteristics of the hook plate and the connecting plate, not only ensures the tension of the tape but also ensures that the hook plate and the connecting plate are finally perpendicular to each other, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. However, this hook is connected to the tape body through the connecting plate. During the connection process, if the alignment is not precise enough, the tape body may shift from the side of the hook, which may affect the measurement accuracy during subsequent use.

[0004] Therefore, a tape measure hook is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a tape measure hook. By performing single-sided fixed connection between the hook assembly and the tape body, one side of the scale and numbers can be reserved for easy observation during measurement, further improving the accuracy. Moreover, the visible opening at the top of the hook plate can facilitate observing whether the tape body is inserted into the groove during assembly, improving the alignment accuracy during installation.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A tape measure hook includes a tape body. The rear end of the tape body is detachably connected with a hook assembly, and a visible component is installed at the top of the hook assembly. The hook assembly includes a side mounting plate. An opening adapted to the tape body is formed at the right end of the side mounting plate. The mounting plate is sleeved on the left end of the tape body. A pair of symmetrically distributed bolts are threadedly connected to the top of the mounting plate. The bolts penetrate through the top of the mounting plate and are threadedly connected to the tape body. The rear end of the side mounting plate is fixedly connected with a hook plate. A groove adapted to the tape body is formed at the front end of the hook plate. The groove is adapted to the opening. The tape body is inserted into the inside of the groove. A visible opening is formed at the top of the hook plate, and the visible opening communicates with the groove.

[0008] Further, the visual component includes a fixed block, which is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting plate. A lower transparent sheet is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixed block. An upper transparent sheet is installed above the lower transparent sheet and at the rear end of the fixed block, and the upper transparent sheet is fixedly connected to the fixed block.

[0009] Further, an embedding groove is formed at the top end of the fixed block. An electronic component is arranged inside the embedding groove, and a cover plate is arranged at the top end of the embedding groove.

[0010] Further, an LED lamp is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixed block. The LED lamps are all adapted to the lower transparent sheet and the upper transparent sheet, and the LED lamps are electrically connected to the electronic component.

[0011] Further, a groove adapted to the fixed block, the lower transparent sheet, and the upper transparent sheet is formed at the top end of the mounting plate.

[0012] Further, the side edge of the hook plate is provided with a chamfer.

[0013] In summary, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) In this solution, the side mounting plate and the hook plate of the ruler hook assembly are used to fixedly install the ruler body at a fixed point, and then tightened by bolts. The side mounting plate and the ruler body are placed with single-sided fixation, which is different from the existing most methods of middle fixation. One side of the scale and numbers can be reserved, which is convenient for observation during measurement, further improving the accuracy. Moreover, the visual port at the top end of the hook plate can facilitate observing whether the ruler body is inserted into the groove during assembly, improving the alignment accuracy during installation.

[0015] (2) In this solution, the hook plate with a chamfer on the side can align the chamfer on its side with the edge of the object to be measured during measurement, improving the measurement accuracy.

[0016] (2) The cooperation of the various components of the visual component in this solution can provide an illumination effect, which is convenient for observing the object to be measured in a darker environment, observing whether the chamfer of the hook plate is aligned with the edge of the object to be measured, and preventing measurement deviation.
