[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a measuring tape includes a housing 1, a measuring tape 2, and a marking element 4 disposed on the measuring tape 2. The marking element 4 is sleeved on the measuring tape 2 and can slide along the measuring tape 2. The bottom end of the marking element 4 is connected to a support frame 5 that can be used in conjunction with a measuring hook 3. In this design, the support frame 5 is disposed at the bottom end of the marking element 4. During measurement, the measuring hook 3 hooks one end of the object being measured, and the marking element is slid and pushed to the other end of the object being measured. The support frame 5 can then rest against the other end of the object being measured, clamping the object between the two. At this time, the scale to be measured can be read by referring to the marking element 4, and the marking can be made in real time, which is convenient to use. Furthermore, the cooperation between the support frame 5 and the measuring hook 3 can keep the measuring tape 2 taut, ensuring more accurate measurement results. At the same time, when the two are used together to measure the outer diameter, they can rest against each other at both ends, and then the marking element 4 is used to measure the outer diameter. The measurement is taken directly from the position on the measuring tape 2, which is more accurate than the traditional method of focusing by the naked eye. After the marker is measured and remains stationary at the reading position, it can serve as a temporary marker, which not only does not affect the next measurement of the measuring tape, but also achieves the purpose of measuring two readings at once. Moreover, the marker can also be used as a reference, making it convenient for the user to observe the difference between the two measurements. In addition, the support frame 5 is located at the bottom of the marker 4. The width of the support frame 5 and the marker 4 is smaller than the width of the measuring tape housing 1. Its structure is reasonable, occupies less space, and is more practical.

[0022] To ensure convenient reading, the marker 4 is designed as a transparent ring. The transparent material increases visibility and does not affect subsequent measurements and readings.

[0023] The marker 4 is provided with a groove 6 that is adapted to the ruler 2, and the marker 4 is slidably connected to the ruler 2 through the groove 6.

[0024] The height of the support frame 5 is adapted to the height of the ruler hook 3, and the bottom end of the support frame 5 is flush with the bottom end of the ruler hook 3, so that the sliding groove 6 and the ruler strip 2 are at the same vertical height, and the ruler strip 2 is in a horizontal state when passing through the marker 4.

[0025] The damping structure is arranged on the matching surface of the sliding groove 6 and the ruler tape 2, and avoids the marking piece 4 from being mistakenly touched and slid.

[0026] The side surface of the support frame 5 close to the ruler hook 3 is located on the same plane with the side surface of the marking piece 4 close to the ruler hook 3.

[0027] The upper end surface of the marking piece can also be marked with the width data of the upper end surface.

[0028] Embodiment two:

[0029] The embodiment is basically same as the structure of the embodiment one, and the difference mainly lies in that the specific structure of the marking piece 4 is different, in the embodiment, the cross section of the marking piece 4 is a right trapezoid, the top surface and the side surface close to the ruler hook 3 of the marking piece 4 are perpendicular, and the support frame 5 is arranged on the bottom surface of the marking piece 4.

[0030] Embodiment three:

[0031] The embodiment is basically same as the structure of the embodiment one, and the embodiment is a structural improvement based on the embodiment one, the side surface of the marking piece 4 is provided with a connecting piece 7, the connecting piece 7 can be a hook head, and the shell 1 is provided with a hook groove for clamping and matching with the connecting piece 7.

[0032] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model are shown and described above. It should be understood by the person skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the description in the specification only illustrate the principle of the utility model, and the utility model can have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the utility model claimed. The protection scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
