[0002] As a common measuring tool, tape measures are widely used in industries such as architecture, construction, installation, machinery manufacturing, and mining, and are even commonly used in daily life at home. When using a tape measure, one end of the tape needs to be fixed, and the other end and the outer shell of the tape measure need to be moved together to measure the object to be measured. When measuring with a tape measure, it is often necessary to mark the measurement points in a timely manner. However, the commonly used tape measures and markers are separate. This often causes people to forget to bring the marking tool and need to go elsewhere to get the pen. This can easily lead to forgetting the data and requires re-measurement, which reduces measurement efficiency.
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, a variety of tape measures with markers have been disclosed in the prior art. The markers are directly clipped or clipped onto the shell of the tape measure, which is convenient to carry. However, there are the following problems: First, in the current tape measures with markers, the markers are mainly connected to the surfaces on both sides of the tape measure, which increases the thickness of the tape measure and weakens the original advantage of the tape measure being easy to carry due to its thin thickness; Second, the pen tip of the marker is exposed and can easily become unusable due to wear or breakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a tape measure with a marking tool which is easy to use and carry, can protect the pen tip and does not increase the thickness of the original tape measure.

[0028] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. In the detailed description that follows, certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration only. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will recognize that the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a measuring tape with a marking tool includes a measuring tape 1, a marking tool 2, and a mounting base 3. The measuring tape 1 can adopt a commonly used structure in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The mounting base 3 is provided on the measuring tape 1 and is used to mount the marking tool 2.
[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting seat 3 is provided on the circumferential surface of the measuring tape 1, and the side surface of the mounting seat 3 is provided with a mounting groove 4 matching the marking tool 2. The mounting groove 4 can have only one opening open toward the left side or the right side of the measuring tape 1. When the head end of the marking tool 2 is fully inserted into the mounting groove 4 through the opening, the tail end of the marking tool 2 is located outside the mounting groove 4. The thickness between the outer end surface of the tail of the marking tool 2 and the outer end surface of the other side of the mounting groove 4 is less than or equal to the thickness between the left and right side surfaces of the measuring tape 1, and does not extend beyond the left and right side surfaces of the measuring tape 1.
[0032] In this solution, the mounting seat 3 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the measuring tape 1, rather than the left side or right side as in the prior art. When the marking tool 2 is inserted into the mounting slot 4, the mounting seat 3 and the marking tool 2 as a whole do not extend beyond the left and right sides of the measuring tape 1, and the thickness of the original measuring tape 1 can be retained. The circumferential surface of the mounting seat 3 is used to arrange the marking tool 2, and the space is used rationally. At the same time, the tail end of the marking tool 2 is exposed to the side of the measuring tape 1 and is inserted and pulled out from the side for use, thereby achieving a minimized and simplified design of the measuring tape 1 and making it easy to carry. In addition, the writing head end of the marking tool 2 is inserted into the mounting slot 4 and the tail end is located outside the mounting slot 4. Not only can the mounting slot 4 protect the marking tool 2, but it can also facilitate the insertion and withdrawal of the marking tool 2, making it easy to use.
[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting base 3 is integrally provided on the locking push block 5 of the measuring tape 1. The left and right side surfaces of the mounting base 3 do not extend between the left and right side surfaces of the locking push block 5. In other words, the left and right side surfaces of the mounting base 3 are narrower than the left and right side surfaces of the locking push block 5, or the left and right side surfaces of the mounting base 3 are flush with the left and right side surfaces of the locking push block 5. Since the mounting base 3 and the locking push block 5 are integrally formed, that is, the mounting base 3 also serves as the locking push block 5, the mounting base 3 protrudes from the outside of the housing, making it convenient for fingers to slide the locking push block 5. At the same time, the insertion and withdrawal direction of the marking tool 2 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the locking push block 5, and the two do not affect each other during use.
[0034] The marking tool 2 is also called a marking pen. Figure 3The marking tool 2 includes a pen shaft 21 and a tail stock 22 mounted on the outside of the tail end of the pen shaft 21. The mounting groove 4 is a cylindrical groove, which is adapted to the pen shaft 21. The depth of the cylindrical groove is greater than the length of the pen shaft 21, which can ensure that the pen shaft 21 can be fully inserted into the cylindrical groove. The diameter of the cylindrical groove is substantially the same as the diameter of the pen shaft 21, so that the pen shaft 21 can be directly squeezed and inserted into the mounting groove 4. Of course, the diameter of the cylindrical groove can be much larger than the diameter of the pen shaft 21. At this time, the marking tool 2 is installed by relying on the tail stock 22, and the tail stock 22 can be threadedly mounted or snap-fitted to the mounting base 3. When the outer periphery of the tail stock 22 is provided with an external thread and the opening of the mounting groove 4 is provided with an internal thread, the tail stock 22 can be threadedly installed in the mounting groove 4; when the outer periphery of the tail stock 22 is provided with a circumferential arc-shaped protrusion and the inner periphery of the opening of the mounting groove 4 is provided with a circumferential arc-shaped groove, the tail stock 22 can be snapped together by the cooperation of the arc-shaped protrusion and the arc-shaped groove.
[0035] The outer diameter of the tail stock 22 is larger than the diameter of the pen shaft 21. The surface of the mounting seat 3 can block the tail stock 22, or the surface of the mounting seat 3 is provided with a shoulder groove adapted to the outer periphery of the tail stock 22. The tail stock 22 also serves as a structure for limiting the marking tool 2. When the marking tool 2 is inserted, after the tail stock 22 rests against the surface of the mounting seat 3, the head end of the marking tool 2 has been completely inserted into the mounting groove 4.
[0036] The pen holder 21 can be an ink core, which can be a conventional carbon core doped with metal elements (such as a pencil core). The tailstock 22 is detachably connected to the pen holder 21, and the pen holder 21 can be replaced with a refill after use. Figure 3 , a limiting structure is provided at the mating surface of the pen shaft 21 and the tailstock 22, and the assembly connection between the two is achieved through the limiting structure. The limiting structure is a protrusion 6 provided on the inner wall of the tailstock 22, and the outer surface of the pen shaft 21 is extruded and installed on the protrusion 6, and fixed by extrusion. When the pen shaft 21 needs to be replaced, the pen shaft 21 is dragged outward with force to separate it from the tailstock 22, and the tail end of the new pen shaft 21 is squeezed and fixed in the tailstock 22 with force. The protrusion 6 can be an annular arc-shaped protrusion, and is provided with multiple channels, and is directly and integrally processed on the inner wall of the tailstock 22.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] The structure of the second embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the second embodiment is structurally improved on the basis of the first embodiment. When the tailstock 22 is a magnetic tailstock, it can be randomly adsorbed on a clip, hook, or other metal part of the tape measure 1 for temporary storage, thereby preventing the marking tool 2 from being lost.
[0039] The magnetic tailstock comprises a base body, wherein a magnetic sheet is enclosed in the base body; or the magnetic tailstock is a magnetized metal tailstock.
[0040] Example 3:
[0041] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the second embodiment. The third embodiment is a structural improvement based on the second embodiment. Figure 4 When the tailstock 22 is a magnetic tailstock and a metal ring 7 is fixed at the opening of the mounting groove 4, the tailstock 22 can be adsorbed on the metal ring 7 to realize the magnetic installation of the marking tool 2. At the same time, the tailstock 22 can also be randomly adsorbed on the clip, hook or other metal part of the tape measure 1 for temporary storage to avoid loss of the marking tool 2.
[0042] Example 4:
[0043] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the main difference lies in the difference in the limiting structure. Figure 5 The limiting structure is a rubber ring 8 provided on the outer surface of the pen shaft 21. The rubber ring 8 is extruded and installed on the inner wall of the tail stock 22. The outer surface of the pen shaft 21 may be provided with a ring groove for pressing the rubber ring 8. The rubber ring 8 is fixed in the ring groove and then extruded and installed in the tail stock 22 through the rubber ring 8 to realize the assembly connection between the pen shaft 21 and the tail stock 22.
[0044] Embodiment 5:
[0045] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the main difference is the structure of the mounting groove 4. Figure 6 The installation groove 4 is a conical groove that gradually expands from the inside to the outside. During the insertion process of the pen shaft 21, it can be squeezed into the conical groove to achieve a tighter insertion effect, thereby installing the marking tool 2.
[0046] Example 6:
[0047] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the main difference is the structure of the mounting groove 4. Figure 7 Both ends of the installation groove 4 have openings facing the left side and the right side of the tape measure 1 respectively. The marking tool 2 can be inserted and installed from both sides, and the head of the marking tool 2 is always located inside the installation groove 4.
[0048] Embodiment seven:
[0049] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the main difference is that the installation position of the mounting base 3 is different. Figure 8The mounting base 3 is integrally provided on the outer shell of the tape measure 1. The mounting base 3 is located at the rear end bottom of the outer shell. The mounting base 3 and the tape outlet end are located on the front and rear sides of the outer shell, and the bottom of the mounting base 3 is higher than the lowest surface of the outer shell or flush with the lowest surface of the outer shell to avoid affecting the measurement use of the tape measure 1.
