Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a gauge which is used as an aid for transferring, marking or checking dimensions from the DIN 18040 series of standards. State of the art
[0002] The barrier-free design of buildings and their components is required by various parties. These include legislators through building regulations, funding providers, certification bodies, and others. The topic is very complex and is addressed in the DIN 18040 series of standards.
[0003] A simple measuring tool is the ruler, which can be used to mark or check a measurement. The relevant value must be readily available to the user for marking or checking. problem
[0004] In the construction industry, different dimensions are traditionally used than those required by the DIN 18040 series of standards. Therefore, uncertainties or deviations often arise during installation and assembly, leading to delays and rework.
[0005] To verify the applied mass, further knowledge of the standards series is also required. In addition, measurements with knowledge of the relevant reference are necessary. Solution
[0006] The object of the invention is to relieve the user of the teaching by providing the necessary dimensions and their reference to the tool.
[0007] The invention clearly combines the most important dimensions and tolerance ranges of the standard series, so that no in-depth knowledge of the subject matter is required and the dimensions can be directly adopted. This allows users to perform their work more efficiently, quickly, and accurately without extensive training.
Claims
[1] Teaching in the form of a hard, thin plate (1) on which a scale developed from the dimensions of the 18040 series of standards and further information (2) from it are shown. [2] Teaching according to claim 1, characterized in that it can be positioned on the basis of a reference dimension (3) at a height of one meter above the top edge of the finished floor (meter mark). [3] Teaching according to claim 1, characterized in that it can be aligned by means of a spirit level (4) attached thereto. [4] Teaching according to claim 1, characterized in that it can be provided with a handle (5) for easy handling.
