Flexible tape measure with piping rail

Abstract

Piping tape measure, characterized by a flexible tape measure with a continuous piping guide on the top along the entire length.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a measuring tape with integrated keder for directly determining the circumference of caravans as well as for other measuring and fastening purposes in the camping sector. State of the art

[0002] Measuring the awning rail length on caravans is usually done with a flexible measuring tape or a string / rope method along the awning rail. These methods are often inaccurate, prone to error, and require manual reading and conversion of the values. Particularly inexperienced users struggle to identify and measure the correct rail length, which regularly leads to incorrectly ordered awnings. Manufacturer specifications for the awning rail length are often inaccurate or refer to standard sizes that can vary in practice. Currently, there is no simple way to determine the actual awning rail length precisely and reproducibly directly via the awning rail. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-use, precise and multifunctional aid with which the actual circumference of a caravan can be determined simply and reliably. Description of the invention

[0004] The Pro+ awning rail measuring tape is a flexible tape measure with a continuous 7 mm diameter keder (seal) along its top edge. This keder allows for easy insertion of the tape into the awning rail of a caravan. The tape features a continuous scale in centimeters. Additionally, eyelets spaced 10 to 15 cm apart allow for optional attachment or use for accessories such as sunshades, decorations, or coat hooks. The tape can be cut to the required length by the user. The material is weatherproof and UV-resistant. The scale is printed on one side and oriented for easy reading when inserted into the awning rail. Advantages of the invention - Significantly more precise measurement of the circumference - Easy to use without additional tools - Multifunctional use (e.g. for attaching accessories) - Can be shortened and adapted - Time and cost savings for end customers
