Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing design technology, specifically to a multifunctional ruler for clothing pattern making. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of garment pattern making and customization, multi-functional rulers are core tools that integrate functions such as straight line drawing, angle measurement, and curve annotation. They are widely used in garment studios, fabric and accessories markets, and on-site measurement services. Most existing multi-functional rulers achieve functional integration by integrating structures such as rulers, protractors, and curve segments. For example, a fixed curvature arc is added to the edge of the ruler, or a protractor component is connected by a hinge to meet basic pattern making needs.
[0003] However, these multi-functional rulers have significant drawbacks in practical use: they fail to balance the relationship between functional integration, size, and portability, making them inconvenient to carry and operate when taking measurements outdoors. Specifically, some folding multi-functional rulers are connected by multiple hinges, which can easily lead to measurement errors due to loose gaps after unfolding; curved sections and protractor components protrude from the ruler body, and if not separately protected, they can easily snag on clothing or be damaged by compression when outdoors. In summary, existing multi-functional rulers, due to unreasonable size design, loose structure, and redundant functions, cannot meet the requirements for portability, ease of operation, and structural stability when taking measurements outdoors. There is an urgent need to optimize the structural design to improve portability while retaining core functions.
[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and provide a multifunctional ruler for garment pattern making.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a multi-functional ruler for garment pattern making, including a ruler, and further including:
[0007] The protractor assembly includes a movable strip and a protractor mounted on a ruler, as well as a limiting bead mounted on the side wall of the movable strip and multiple corresponding limiting slots opened in the ruler to enable the protractor to measure angles at different positions.
[0008] The auxiliary components, including the auxiliary bar and the limiting post set on the movable bar, are used to further extend the measuring range of the protractor.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting beads are symmetrically fixed on one side wall of the movable strip, and the upper surface of the ruler is provided with a sliding groove that matches the movable strip. The limiting groove is hemispherical and is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding groove.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the movable strip is fixedly connected to the protractor, and the upper surface of the end of the movable strip that is close to the protractor is provided with a rotating groove that is adapted to the limiting post. The center of the rotating groove and the center of the protractor are on the same horizontal plane.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting post is configured as a T-shaped column, and the lower end of the limiting post is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a symmetrically arranged limiting plug is fixedly provided on one end face of the limiting post corresponding to the auxiliary strip, and a plurality of limiting holes corresponding to the limiting plug are opened on one side of the auxiliary strip.
[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary strip has a slot at its center corresponding to the limiting post, the end of the auxiliary strip near the protractor is arrow-shaped, and an indicator strip is fixedly installed on the limiting post.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By incorporating a protractor and auxiliary components, the problem of existing folding multi-functional rulers being too long and having protruding protractor and ruler sections that are inconvenient to carry has been solved. The protractor and movable strip are rigidly connected, avoiding displacement deviations of traditional detachable components and ensuring that measurement accuracy is maintained even after long-term use. When not in use, it can be stored separately, solving the problem of inconvenience caused by the curved section of traditional rulers and the protractor protrusion, and greatly improving the portability and practicality of the multi-functional ruler.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 .
[0027] This utility model provides a technical solution for a multifunctional ruler for garment pattern making: a multifunctional ruler for garment pattern making includes a ruler 1, and further includes: a protractor assembly 2 consisting of a movable strip 201 and a protractor 202 disposed on the ruler 1, a limiting bead 2011 disposed on the side wall of the movable strip 201, and a plurality of limiting grooves 101 corresponding to the movable strip 201 disposed in the ruler 1, for realizing the protractor 202 to measure angles at different positions; and an auxiliary assembly 3 consisting of an auxiliary strip 301 and a limiting post 302 disposed on the movable strip 201, for further extending the measuring range of the protractor 202.
[0028] In one embodiment, the limiting bead 2011 is symmetrically fixed at one end of the side wall of the movable strip 201, and the upper end face of the ruler 1 is provided with a sliding groove adapted to the movable strip 201. The limiting groove 101 is hemispherically disposed on the inner side wall of the sliding groove.
[0029] This design allows the protractor 202 at the other end to be extended from one end of the ruler 1 for use when needed, thanks to the movable bar 201. At the same time, the limiting lock between the limiting bead 2011 and the limiting groove 101 prevents the movable bar 201 from moving arbitrarily, ensuring the measurement stability of the protractor 202.
[0030] In one embodiment, one end of the movable strip 201 is fixedly connected to the protractor 202. The upper surface of the end of the movable strip 201 that is close to the protractor 202 is provided with a rotating groove 2012 that is adapted to the limiting post 302. The center of the rotating groove 2012 and the center of the protractor 202 are on the same horizontal plane. The limiting post 302 is set in a T-shaped column. The lower end of the limiting post 302 is rotatably set in the rotating groove 2012. The end face of the limiting post 302 that corresponds to the auxiliary strip 301 is fixedly provided with a symmetrically arranged limiting plug 3022. One side of the auxiliary strip 301 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 3011 that correspond to the limiting plugs 3022. The center of the auxiliary strip 301 is provided with a slot that corresponds to the limiting post 302. The end of the auxiliary strip 301 that is close to the protractor 202 is set in an arrow shape. An indicator strip 3021 is fixedly provided on the limiting post 302.
[0031] With this design, when simply stretching the movable strip 201 is insufficient to meet the measurement range of the protractor 202, the auxiliary strip 301 is stretched to one end. Once the auxiliary strip 301 is stretched to the appropriate length, pressing down on the limiting post 302 causes the limiting plug 3022 at the lower end of the limiting post 302 to engage with the limiting hole 3011 on the auxiliary strip 301. At this point, rotating the auxiliary strip 301 so that one of its pointed ends aligns with the material being measured causes the auxiliary strip 301 to rotate, thereby rotating the limiting post 302 locked at one end. The measurement is then read from the scale on the protractor 202 corresponding to the indicator strip 3021 on the limiting post 302. The corresponding angle can be quickly measured. The size of the protractor 202 is the same as the width of the ruler 1. This setting makes the protractor 202 the same size as the ruler 1, avoiding the problem of the protractor protruding in traditional multi-functional rulers. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of the limited measurement range of the small-sized ruler 1 and the protractor, a telescopic movable strip 201 and an auxiliary strip 301 are set. Utilizing their movable characteristics, the measurement range of the protractor 202 is extended. At the same time, when stored, it can be attached to the ruler 1, so that the normal length of this multi-functional ruler is not much different from that of an ordinary ruler 1, making it easier to carry.
[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
