Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a marking tool used for marking flanges, etc., for marking the centers of two holes. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when performing a machining operation, a marking operation is performed in which a line is drawn on a workpiece at a machining position.

[0003] Conventionally, various jigs for use in marking work have been proposed. According to Patent Document 1, a marking tool has been proposed in which a first leg with a marking needle on the tip edge and a second leg with a pair of contact pieces on the left and right, each of which has a contact point attached downward on the tip edge and a profiling contact connected to it at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, the other ends of which are connected by a key pin, and when the contact point and each contact point of the profiling contact are lightly pressed against the flange surface and its edge while sliding sideways, the scribing needle draws a beautiful pitch circle line.

[0004] Patent Document 2 proposes a compass with a sphere at the tip of one of the legs. This makes it possible to simply and easily mark a circle from the center of an object that already has a hole in it. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-44067 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-56600 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, when marking the center points of the lines connecting the centers of adjacent bolt holes formed around a central hole of a flange, it is not possible to mark the centers of the adjacent bolt holes. Here, by using the compass of Patent Document 2 and fitting spheres into adjacent holes to draw arcs, it is possible to mark the perpendicular bisectors passing through the center points of the lines connecting the centers of adjacent bolt holes. For example, it is possible to fit the spheres of the compass into adjacent bolt holes, operate the compass to draw arc-shaped auxiliary lines on the flange, and accurately place a ruler on the intersection of the two arc-shaped auxiliary lines to mark the perpendicular bisectors. However, the work requires precision, making it a difficult task for workers.

[0007] The present invention aims to solve such problems and provide a marking tool that can easily perform the task of marking the center point of a line connecting the centers of two holes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

[0009] (1) A marking tool used to mark the center point of a line connecting the centers of two holes on the flat surface of an object having multiple holes, A first leg portion, a second leg portion, and a ruler portion, one end of which is rotatably connected to one another; a tip member having a rotating body shape attached to the other end of the first leg portion and the second leg portion and disposed in the hole portion; an angle adjustment unit that adjusts an angle between the first leg and the second leg; a ruler support portion that supports the ruler portion in a state in which the central axis of the ruler portion extends in the direction of the bisector of the angle formed by the first leg portion and the second leg portion; When the tip member is placed in the hole, the central axis of the tip member coincides with the central axis of the hole, The ruler portion has a marking surface including a center line of the ruler portion on a part of a side surface, A marking jig in which, when the tip member is placed in the hole portion and the ruler portion is viewed in a planar view, the center line of the ruler portion and the bisector coincide with each other.

[0010] According to (1), by supporting the ruler part on the ruler support part with the tip member fitted in the hole, the central axis of the ruler part extends in the direction of the bisector of the angle between the first leg and the second leg, and when the ruler part is viewed in a plan view, the marking surface is positioned on the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the two holes. In this way, it is possible to mark an object with a perpendicular bisector including the center point of the line connecting the centers of the two holes by the simple task of fitting the tip member into the hole by adjusting the angle between the first leg and the second leg, and marking along the marking surface of the ruler part.

[0011] (2) In (1), the tip member is a sphere,

[0012] According to (2), because the tip member is spherical, when the tip member is fitted into the two holes, the center of the tip member is automatically positioned on the central axis of the two holes. Therefore, when the ruler part is viewed in a plane, the marking surface can be positioned on the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the two holes. This makes it possible to easily mark an object with a perpendicular bisector that includes the center point of the line connecting the centers of adjacent holes.

[0013] (3) In paragraphs (1) and (2), a support portion that holds the first leg portion and the second leg portion and biases the tip members of the first leg portion and the second leg portion in a direction in which they open, The angle adjustment unit has a shaft having a screw groove and a moving body that is screwed into the shaft and moves along the axial direction of the shaft by rotation, The shaft has one end rotatably attached to the inside of the first leg and the other end inserted into a hole formed in the second leg and extending to the outside of the second leg, and the movable body abuts against the outer surface of the second leg, thereby forming a marking jig.

[0014] According to (3), the moving body moves along the shaft by a pitch of the thread groove of the shaft every time the moving body rotates once. This makes it possible to finely adjust the distance between the tip members, and ensures that the tip members can be fitted securely into the two holes.

[0015] (4) In items (1) to (3), The ruler support unit includes a pair of arms, one end of which is rotatably attached to the inside of the first leg and the second leg, and a positioning plate, which is rotatably attached to the other end of the pair of arms and on which the ruler unit is placed so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the ruler unit. a fixing mechanism that can switch between a fixed state in which the position of the positioning plate is fixed relative to the ruler portion and a released state in which the fixed state is released to allow the positioning plate to move relative to the ruler portion, The positioning plate is a marking jig having a flat surface against which the back surface of the ruler portion abuts, and a pair of wall surfaces facing both side surfaces of the ruler portion.

[0016] According to (4), when the ruler part is placed on the positioning plate, the center line of the ruler part can be aligned with the bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg and the second leg.

[0017] (5) In paragraph (4), The marking surface of the ruler portion is formed on the other end side of the ruler portion relative to the positioning plate, A scribing jig in which the tip portion on the other end of the ruler portion is formed into an acute angle that becomes thinner toward the scribing surface.

[0018] According to (5), the direction in which the central axis of the ruler portion extends becomes easy to understand, and can be used as a reference for determining whether the tip member is securely fitted into the two holes.

[0019] (6) In paragraph (1) or (2), the ruler support portion includes a pair of arms, one end of which is rotatably attached to the inside of the first leg portion and the second leg portion, and a cylindrical column portion that rotatably supports the other end of the pair of arms, The ruler portion has a long hole extending in a longitudinal direction along a center line of the ruler portion, The columnar portion has a diameter larger than the width of the slot, The tip of the columnar portion is insertable into the long hole, and has a pair of flat surfaces on the side surfaces of the tip portion that face each other and have a width approximately equal to the width of the long hole.

[0020] According to (6), by inserting the tip of the columnar part into the long hole of the ruler part, the tip can move along the long hole, and since the part of the tip of the columnar part other than the flat part is larger than the width of the long hole, the ruler part does not rotate relative to the tip of the columnar part. Furthermore, when the tip of the columnar part moves along the long hole, the pair of arms rotate to form the same angle with respect to the center line of the ruler part. Therefore, when the angle between the first leg and the second leg is adjusted, it is possible to align the center line of the ruler part with the bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg and the second leg.

[0021] (7) In paragraph (6), A marking jig in which a screw groove is formed on the arc-shaped side surface at the tip of the columnar portion, and the base portions of the pair of flat portions are formed in an arc shape. According to (7), when a nut is screwed onto the tip of the columnar part, the edge of the long hole in the ruler part comes into contact with the base of the flat part formed in an arc shape. This makes it possible to fix the ruler part to the tip of the columnar part, and prevents the pair of arms from rotating relative to each other. This makes it possible to scribe on an object a perpendicular bisector including the center point of the line connecting the centers of the two holes of the object, while maintaining the angle between the first leg and the second leg. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a marking tool that can easily perform the task of marking a perpendicular bisector of a line connecting the centers of two holes. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 10] 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a modified example of the ruler support part 50 of the scribing jig 2. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Fig. 1 is a front view showing the appearance of a scribing jig 1 in one embodiment of the present invention Fig. 2 is a front view showing the appearance of the scribing jig 1 in Fig. 1 with a ruler part 30 removed.

[0026] [Configuration of marking jig 1] As shown in FIG. 1, the marking jig 1 includes a first leg 10, a second leg 11, a support shaft 13, a C-ring 14, a knob portion 15, a tip member 20, a tip member 21, a ruler portion 30, an angle adjustment portion 40, and a ruler support portion 50.

[0027] The first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are made of a rod-shaped long member. The first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are substantially mirror symmetric. Recesses 10a, 11a are formed on the side surface of one end. The recesses 10a, 11a are columnar recesses with fan-shaped bottom surfaces.

[0028] The support shaft 13 is made of a cylindrical member and has a radius equal to the radius of curvature of the recesses 10a and 11a. The support shaft 13 is inserted into a cylindrical hole formed by combining the recesses 10a and 11a with the first leg 10 facing each other, with a portion missing, so that the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 can rotate freely relative to each other with the support shaft 13 as a rotation axis.

[0029] The C-ring 14 is a member that is attached so as to sandwich one end of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 facing each other from the outside, and connects both of them. The C-ring 14 has leaf spring properties, and constantly urges one end of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 to be sandwiched. In other words, the C-ring 14 urges the other end of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 to open.

[0030] The knob portion 15 is a cylindrical member fixed to the center of the outer side of the C-ring 14.

[0031] The tip member 20 is attached to the other end of the first leg 10, and the tip member 21 is attached to the other end of the second leg 11. According to this embodiment, the tip member 20 and the tip member 21 are made of spheres.

[0032] The ruler part 30 is a long member formed by removing a part of a rectangular flat plate, and one end is disposed overlapping the first leg part 10 and the second leg part 11, and is attached to the support shaft 13. The center line of the ruler part 30 in the longitudinal direction passes through the center point of one end face of the ruler part 30 in the longitudinal direction and is perpendicular to the center axis of the support shaft 13. The support shaft 13 may be fixed to the ruler part 30, or the support shaft 13 may be freely rotatable with respect to the ruler part 30. The ruler part 30 is desirably a flat plate having flexibility in the vertical direction.

[0033] Moreover, the ruler part 30 has a cutout part 31 where a part of the side surface of the other end part is cut out. This cutout part 31 is cut out up to the center line of the ruler part 30. Therefore, the side surface of the ruler part 30 on the cutout part 31 side is perpendicular to the plane of the ruler part 30, and the imaginary center line of this side surface passes through the center of the support shaft 13. Note that the side surface of the ruler part 30 on the cutout part 31 side is the surface against which a marker or a marker is applied when marking with a marker or drawing an auxiliary line with a marker or the like, and therefore will be referred to as the scribing surface 32 below.

[0034] The tip of the other end of the ruler portion 30 is formed into an acute angle such that it becomes thinner toward the marking surface 32 side.

[0035] The angle adjustment unit 40 includes a shaft 41 having a screw groove, and a moving body 42 that is screwed into the shaft 41 and moves along the axial direction of the shaft 41 by rotation. One end of the shaft 41 is rotatably attached to the inside of the first leg 10, and the other end is inserted into a hole (not shown) formed in the second leg 11 and extends to the outside of the second leg 11. The moving body 42 is disposed on the outside of the second leg 11, and by rotating the moving body 42, it is possible to move the moving body 42 by one pitch of the screw groove per rotation, and the moving body 42 can be brought into contact with the outside surface of the second leg 11.

[0036] In this state, the other ends of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 attempt to move in the opening direction due to the bias of the C-ring 14, but the moving body 42 restricts the movement of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 in the opening direction. Therefore, by moving the moving body 42 and changing the distance from one end of the shaft 41 to the moving body 42, it becomes possible to change the angle between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11, and the angle between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 can be maintained by determining the position of the moving body 42.

[0037] The ruler support portion 50 includes a pair of arm bodies 51, 52, a positioning plate 53, a shaft 55 having a threaded groove, and a grip body 56.

[0038] Arm body 51 and arm body 52 are the same plate-like member, and one end of arm body 51 is rotatably attached to the inside of first leg 10. One end of arm body 52 is rotatably attached to the inside of second leg 11.

[0039] 3A is a perspective view, and FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C are front views showing the structure of positioning plate 53. Positioning plate 53 has main body 53a made of a rectangular flat plate, and guide portion 53b having a U-shape in front view and a rectangular flat top surface portion and wall surface portions extending at right angles from both ends of the top surface portion.

[0040] The upper surface of the guide portion 53b has two opposing sides that are shorter than the long sides of the main body portion 53a and the other opposing sides that are the same length as the short sides of the main body portion 53a, and the wall portions extend at right angles from both ends of the upper surface portion that has the same length as the short sides of the main body portion 53a. The length between the inner wall surfaces of both wall portions is set to be longer than the width of the ruler portion 30. A slit 53c is formed in the center between both wall portions on the upper surface of the guide portion 53b. This slit 53c extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the wall portion.

[0041] The long side of the main body 53a is set to be longer than the length between the outer wall surfaces of both wall surfaces. The guide 53b is disposed in the center of the main body 53a, and the wall surface extends at a right angle from the flat surface of the main body 53a. The longitudinal direction of the wall surface is parallel to the short side of the main body 53a. Both ends of the main body 53a in the longitudinal direction extend laterally from the wall surface. Inside the guide 53b, a rectangular parallelepiped space is formed, surrounded by the inner surface of the guide 53b and the flat surface of the main body 53a.

[0042] In this embodiment, the width of the slit 53c is shorter than the width of the ruler portion 30, and the ruler portion 30 can be inserted from the openings at the ends of both wall portions of the guide portion 53b, and can be arranged in the space inside the guide portion 53b. With the ruler portion 30 arranged in the space inside the guide portion 53b, a gap is formed between the side surface of the ruler portion 30 and the inner wall surface of the guide portion 53b. Therefore, the ruler portion 30 can be moved slightly toward the inner wall surface inside the guide portion 53b.

[0043] The other ends of the arm body 51 and the arm body 52 are rotatably attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction on the back surface of the main body 53a. Specifically, circular holes 53f, 53g are formed on both longitudinal sides of the main body 53a, and holes are also formed in the other ends of the arm body 51 and the arm body 52, and by inserting a rotation shaft with the holes 53f, 53g of the main body 53a facing the holes in the other ends of the arm body 51 and the arm body 52, they are rotatably attached.

[0044] A through hole having a screw groove is formed in the center of one of the two wall surfaces of the guide portion 53b. For convenience of the following description, the inner surface of one wall surface is referred to as the inner wall surface 53d, and the inner surface of the other wall surface is referred to as the inner wall surface 53e.

[0045] One end of the shaft 55 is screwed into a through hole in one wall surface of the guide portion 53b from the outer wall surface side. The shaft 55 extends in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface of the one wall surface of the guide portion 53b, and when the shaft 55 is rotated, the one end can protrude from and retract into the center of the inner wall surface of the inner wall surface 53d.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 3(b), when the ruler part 30 is disposed inside the guide part 53b, the shaft 55 is rotated to project one end of the shaft 55 from the inner wall surface 53d, so that the ruler part 30 moves toward the inner wall surface 53e, and as shown in Fig. 3(c), the ruler part 30 comes into close contact with the inner wall surface 53e. As a result, the ruler part 30 is fixed to the guide part 53b. In this state, when the ruler part 30 and the positioning plate 53 are viewed in plan, the perpendicular bisector connecting the rotation axis between the main body part 53a and the arm body 51 and the rotation axis of the main body part 53a and the arm body 52 coincides with the center line of the ruler part 30.

[0047] In other words, the positions of the holes 53f and 53g are set so that the perpendicular bisector coincides with the center line passing through the center of the ruler part 30 in the width direction.

[0048] The grip body 56 is a member having a solid-rotation shape that is thicker than the shaft 55. The grip body 56 is fixed to the other end of the shaft 55 so that the central axis of the grip body 56 coincides with the central axis of the shaft 55.

[0049] The angle adjustment part 40 and the ruler support part 50 are arranged in this order from the support shaft 13 toward the tip members 20, 21. The ruler part 30 is arranged inside the guide part 53b. When the ruler part 30 is arranged inside the guide part 53b, the direction toward the base end side of the ruler part 30, i.e., the support shaft 13 side, is referred to as the upper side, and the direction toward the tip side of the ruler part 30 is referred to as the lower side. The missing part 31 of the ruler part 30 is formed below the positioning plate 53.

[0050] [Scribing jig 1 operation] The marking jig 1 can adjust the distance between the center of the tip member 20 and the center of the tip member 21 by moving the moving body 42 and changing the distance from one end of the shaft 41 to the moving body 42, and also restricts the rotation of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11. When the distance between the center of the tip member 20 and the center of the tip member 21 changes, the positioning plate 53 moves up and down in conjunction with the change. Specifically, when the distance between the center of the tip member 20 and the center of the tip member 21 narrows, the positioning plate 53 moves downward, and when the distance between the center of the tip member 20 and the center of the tip member 21 widens, the positioning plate 53 moves upward.

[0051] Then, by operating the grip body 56 to rotate the shaft 55 and protruding the shaft 55 from the inner wall surface 53d, the side surface of the ruler part 30 can be kept pressed against the inner wall surface 53e. At the same time, the rotation of the ruler part 30 relative to the first leg part 10 and the second leg part 11 is restricted, and the position of the ruler part 30 is fixed.

[0052] When the ruler portion 30 is viewed in a plan view, the center line of the ruler portion 30 coincides with a bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11. Furthermore, this bisector passes through the midpoint of the line connecting the center of the tip member 20 and the center of the tip member 21.

[0053] In particular, since the marking surface 32 of the ruler portion 30 includes the center line of the ruler portion 30, the line of the marking surface 32 when the ruler portion 30 is viewed in a plane coincides with the bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11.

[0054] [How to use the marking jig 1] The marking jig 1 is used when marking or drawing an auxiliary line that passes through the center point of a line connecting the centers of two holes of the same diameter formed in an object and is perpendicular to this line.

[0055] Figures 4 and 5 are explanatory diagrams showing how to use the marking jig 1 when marking a line that passes through the center point of a line connecting the centers of two adjacent screw holes formed in the flange 100 and faces the center of the flange 100.

[0056] The flange 100 has a ring-shaped flat plate portion 101 and a cylindrical portion 102 standing upright from a hole in the center of the flat plate portion 101. The flat plate portion 101 has four bolt holes 103. The centers of the four bolt holes 103 are equidistant from the center of the flat plate portion 101, and the angle between adjacent bolt holes 103, 103 and the center of the flat plate portion 101 is 90 degrees.

[0057] When performing the scribing work, the shaft 55 is rotated in advance to release the fixed state of the ruler part 30, so that the positioning plate 53 is allowed to move freely along the ruler part 30.

[0058] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable body 42 is rotated to move the tip members 20, 21 toward the bolt holes 103, 103, and the distance between the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 is adjusted so that the tip members 20, 21 fit into the bolt holes 103, 103.

[0059] 5, after fitting the tip members 20, 21 into the bolt holes 103, 103, the shaft 55 is rotated and the ruler portion 30 is fixed to the positioning plate 53. In this state, the centers of the tip members 20, 21 are positioned on the central axis of the bolt holes 103, 103. In addition, the marking surface 32 of the ruler portion 30 spreads in a direction perpendicular to the flat surface of the flat plate portion 101 and extends toward the center of the flat plate portion 101 along the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the adjacent bolt holes 103, 103.

[0060] Therefore, by drawing a scribe line on the flat plate portion 101 along the scribe surface 32 of the ruler portion 30 using a scriber or a magic marker, a perpendicular bisector passing through the center of a line connecting the centers of adjacent bolt holes 103, 103 on the flat plate portion 101 can be drawn. In addition, by rotating the scriber jig 1 180 degrees in a direction along the flat plate surface of the flat plate portion 101 (turning the scriber jig 1 upside down and swapping the tip members 20, 21 that are fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103), the scribe line overlaps with the scribe surface 32, and it can be confirmed whether the scribe line is accurate or not. Note that since the tip members 20, 21 of the scriber jig 1 are spherical, it can be used even if it is turned upside down, but it is preferable to use the side where the tip of the ruler portion 30 is closer to the surface to be scribed. In particular, because the ruler portion 30 is flexible, the tip of the ruler portion 30 can be brought into surface contact with the surface of the object to be marked, and this surface contact makes marking easier.

[0061] [Effects] According to this embodiment configured in this manner, by the simple task of fitting the tip members 20, 21 into the bolt holes 103, 103, it is possible to scribe on the flange 100 a perpendicular bisector passing through the center point of a line connecting the centers of adjacent bolt holes 103, 103 among the four bolt holes 103 that the flange 100 has.

[0062] According to this embodiment, since the tip members 20, 21 are spherical, when the tip members 20, 21 are fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103, the centers of the tip members 20, 21 are automatically positioned on the central axis of the bolt holes 103. Therefore, when the ruler part 30 is viewed in plan, the line of the marking surface 32 of the ruler part 30 coincides with the perpendicular bisector passing through the center point of the line connecting the centers of the adjacent bolt holes 103. This makes it possible to mark the perpendicular bisector passing through the center point of the line connecting the centers of the adjacent bolt holes 103, 103 on the flange 100 with a simple operation.

[0063] According to this embodiment, the angle adjustment unit 40 has a shaft 41 having a thread groove and a moving body 42 that is screwed into the shaft 41 and moves along the axial direction of the shaft 41 by rotation, and the moving body 42 moves along the shaft 41 by the pitch of the thread groove of the shaft 41 with each rotation. This makes it possible to finely adjust the interval between the tip members 20, 21, and the tip members 20, 21 can be reliably fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103.

[0064] According to this embodiment, the ruler support unit 50 has a pair of arms 51, 52, one end of which is rotatably attached to the inside of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11, and a positioning plate 53, which is rotatably attached to the other end of the pair of arms 51, 52 and on which the ruler unit 30 is placed so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the ruler unit 30, and the back surface of the ruler unit 30 is placed on the plane of the main body 53a, and the inner wall surfaces 53d, 53e face both side surfaces of the ruler unit 30. Therefore, the ruler unit 30 is restricted from rotating relative to the first leg 10 and the second leg 11. In addition, the position of the positioning plate 53 relative to the ruler unit 30 can be fixed by rotating the shaft 55. This allows the center line of the ruler part 30 to coincide with the bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg part 10 and the second leg part 11 when the ruler part 30 is placed on the positioning plate 53. In addition, this bisector coincides with the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the bolt holes 103, 103 when the tip members 20, 21 are fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103. Therefore, by using a scribing needle to scribing on the flat plate part 101 of the flange 100 along the scribing surface 32, it is possible to scribing a line passing through the center point of the line connecting the centers of the bolt holes 103, 103. In addition, the extension of this line is theoretically perpendicular to the central axis of the cylindrical part 102, so the position of the central axis of the cylindrical part 102 can be confirmed.

[0065] According to this embodiment, the tip of the ruler portion 30 is formed into an acute angle with a thin wall toward the scribed surface 32. Therefore, when the tip members 20, 21 are securely fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103, the tip of the ruler portion 30 points toward the center of the flange 100, and can be used as a reference for determining whether the tip members 20, 21 are securely fitted into the bolt holes 103, 103.

[0066] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, according to the above-mentioned embodiment, the tip members 20 and 21 are spheres, but are not limited thereto, and may be a rotating body shape such as an ellipse (rugby ball shape), a semicircular sphere, a cone, or a circular seat with the top of a cone missing. In this specification, the rotating body shape refers to a three-dimensional figure having a rotating surface at least in a part, and the rotating surface refers to a curved surface obtained by rotating a curve in space around a straight line in space. The tip members 20 and 21 do not need to be a rotating body shape as a whole, and it is sufficient that a part of them, especially the surface that abuts on the edge of the bolt hole 103, is a rotating surface. Therefore, even if the tip portion of a cone is cut obliquely with respect to the central axis, it is included in the rotating body shape of this embodiment as long as the surface that abuts on the edge of the bolt hole 103 is a conical surface.

[0067] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the tip members 20, 21. FIG. 6(a) shows the tip members 20, 21 in a conical shape and fitted into the bolt hole 103, and FIG. 6(b) shows the tip members 20, 21 in a circular seat shape and fitted into the bolt hole 103. As shown in FIG. 6(a) and FIG. 6(b), by making the tip members 20, 21 conical or circular seat shape, it is possible to make the side of the tip members 20, 21 adhere closely to the edge of the bolt hole 103, and it is possible to maintain the central axis of the tip members 20, 21 in a state that coincides with the central axis of the bolt hole 103. The tip members 20, 21 may be detachable from the ends of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11.

[0068] Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, there is one attachment point for the arm bodies 51, 52 on the first leg 10 and the second leg 11, but it is also possible to provide multiple attachment points for the arm bodies 51, 52 so that the positions of the arm bodies 51, 52 can be changed depending on the size of the flange 100.

[0069] In addition, multiple types of ruler portions 30 with different lengths may be prepared, and the ruler portion 30 may be replaced depending on the size of the flange 100, making it possible to select a ruler portion 30 with a length suitable for the flange 100.

[0070] Fig. 7 is a front view showing the appearance of a scribing jig 2 in another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a rear view showing the appearance of a scribing jig 2 in another embodiment of the present invention. In the scribing jig 2 shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the same members or members having the same functions as those in the scribing jig 1 shown in Fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0071] The scribing jig 2 shown in Figures 7 and 8 differs from the scribing jig 1 shown in Figure 1 in the configurations of the ruler portion 30, tip members 20, 21, angle adjustment portion 40, and ruler support portion 50, and has eliminated the positioning plate 53, shaft 55, and grip body 56. The rest of the configuration is the same as the scribing jig 1 shown in Figure 1.

[0072] The ruler part 30 of the scribing jig 2 has a long hole 33 extending in the longitudinal direction along the center line on the surface of the ruler part 30. The long hole 33 is a through hole that penetrates the front and back surfaces of the ruler part 30.

[0073] The tip members 20 and 21 of the scribing jig 2 are formed in a hemispherical shape. The tip of the first leg 10 is fixed to the center of the circular plane of the tip member 20. Similarly, the tip of the second leg 11 is fixed to the center of the circular plane of the tip member 21.

[0074] The angle adjustment part 40 of the scribing jig 2 includes a shaft 41, a moving body 42, and a protrusion 43. The shaft 41 and the moving body 42 are the same as the shaft 41 and the moving body 42 of the scribing jig 1 shown in Fig. 1, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0075] The protrusion 43 is a cylindrical member and is erected between the base end of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 and one end of the arm body 51, 52. The ruler part 30 and the ruler support part 50 are arranged on one surface of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11, and the protrusions 43, 43 extend in a perpendicular direction from the other surface on the opposite side. In addition, each of the protrusions 43, 43 has a through hole (not shown) that extends from a part of the side surface through the center in the radial direction to the opposite surface. The shaft 41 is passed through the through hole of the protrusions 43, 43 of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11, and the tip end is fixed to the protrusion 43 erected on the first leg 10 by welding or the like. The moving body 42 is arranged on the side of the protrusion of the second leg 11.

[0076] Then, when the movable body 42 moves and presses the projection 43 of the second leg 11, the tip members 20, 21 move, making it possible to adjust the distance between them. With this configuration, the shaft 41 and the movable body 42 are positioned at a location vertically separated from the ruler part 30, making it easy to operate the movable body 42 with the ruler part 30 close to the object to be marked.

[0077] Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the ruler support part 50 of the scribing jig 2, where Figure 9(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Figure 7, and Figure 9(b) is an exploded view of Figure 9(a) divided into individual parts.

[0078] The ruler support portion 50 of the scribing jig 2 includes a pair of arm bodies 51, 52, a bolt 60, and a nut 61.

[0079] The pair of arms 51, 52 shown in FIG. 9 are longer than the pair of arms 51, 52 shown in FIG.

[0080] Thinner portions 51a, 52a are formed at the other ends of the arm bodies 51, 52. The thinner portion 51a of the arm body 51 is formed by cutting out the lower surface of the other end of the arm body 51, and a step is formed between the lower surface of the arm body 51 and the lower surface of the thinner portion 51a. The thinner portion 52a of the arm body 52 is formed by cutting out the upper surface of the other end of the arm body 52, and a step is formed between the upper surface of the arm body 52 and the upper surface of the thinner portion 52a. Holes 51b, 52b are formed in the centers of the thinner portions 51a, 52a. The holes 51b and 52b are circular holes of the same diameter.

[0081] When the lower surface of thin-walled portion 51a of arm body 51 and the upper surface of thin-walled portion 52a of arm body 52 are abutted so that the central axis of hole portion 51b and the central axis of hole portion 52b coincide with each other, the upper surface of arm body 51 and the upper surface of arm body 52 are included in the same virtual plane, and the lower surface of arm body 51 and the lower surface of arm body 52 are included in the same virtual plane.

[0082] The bolt 60 is composed of a head portion 60a and a shaft portion 60b. The head portion 60a is a columnar body having a bottom surface capable of covering the holes 51b, 52b and a part of the surroundings thereof.

[0083] The shaft portion 60b is a cylindrical body extending at a right angle from the bottom surface of the head portion 60a. The shaft portion 60b has a cylindrical portion 60c that extends from the bottom surface of the head portion 60a and has no threads, and a columnar oval portion 60e that extends continuously from the cylindrical portion 60c, has flat portions 60d on both sides of the cylindrical portion 60c, and has an oval-shaped bottom surface. In other words, the oval portion 60e is formed at the tip of the shaft portion 60b. The base portion of the flat portion 60d, i.e., the corner portion 60f between the flat surface of the flat portion 60d and the upper surface of the cylindrical portion 60c, is formed in an arc shape.

[0084] The height of the columnar portion 60c is set to a length obtained by adding the height of the hole portion 51b to the height of the hole portion 52b. The oval portion 60e is set to a length equal to or greater than the thickness of the ruler portion 30. The length between the two flat portions 60d, 60d in the oval portion 60e is set to the width of the long hole 33. Therefore, by orienting the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface of the oval portion 60e in a direction along the central axis of the ruler portion 30, the oval portion 60e can be inserted into the long hole 33. Note that a screw thread is formed on the side surface of the oval portion 60e other than the flat portions 60d, 60d, i.e., the arc-shaped side surface. The columnar portion 60c can be inserted into the hole portion 51b and the hole portion 52b, and the oval portion 60e can be inserted into the long hole 33 but cannot be inserted into the columnar portion 60c.

[0085] Then, arm bodies 51, 52 are combined so that the central axes of hole 52b and hole 51b are aligned, and bolt 60 is inserted through hole 52b. As a result, the other ends of arm bodies 51, 52 are supported by bolt 60, and the other ends of arm bodies 51, 52 can freely rotate about cylindrical portion 60c of bolt 60 as an axis.

[0086] The ruler part 30 is placed on the other end of the arm body 51 from above, and the long hole 33 is inserted into the oval part 60e. At this time, the tip of the oval part 60e protrudes from the ruler part 30. Then, the nut 61 is screwed onto the oval part 60e protruding from the ruler part 30. As a result, the corner part 60f formed in an arc abuts on the edge of the long hole 33, so that when the nut 61 is tightened, the ruler part 30 moves along the corner part 60f, and the center line of the ruler part 30 moves toward the center axis of the long hole 33. In conjunction with this, the arm bodies 51 and 52 rotate so as to make the same angle with respect to the center line of the ruler part 30. As a result, it is possible to make the center line of the ruler part 30 coincide with the bisector that bisects the angle between the first leg part 10 and the second leg part 11.

[0087] The scribing jig 2 can perform scribing by rotating the moving body 42 to adjust the distance between the tip members 20, 21, and fastening the nut 61 to fix the ruler part 30 to the other end of the arm body 51, 52, in the same manner as the scribing jig 1 shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Specifically, after rotating the moving body 42 to adjust the distance between the tip members 20, 21, the nut 61 is fastened, so that the edge of the long hole 33 in the ruler part 30 abuts against the base part of the flat parts 60d, 60d formed in an arc shape, i.e., the corner part 60f. This makes it possible to fix the ruler part 30 to the tip part of the bolt 60, and the pair of arm bodies 51, 52 do not rotate with respect to each other.

[0088] According to the other embodiment configured in this manner, the positioning plate 53, the shaft 55, and the grip body 56 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are omitted, so that it is possible to omit the components accordingly. Also, the oval portion 60e is inserted into the long hole 33, the diameter of the columnar portion of the oval portion 60e is larger than the width of the long hole 33, and the corner portion 60f formed in an arc abuts on the edge of the long hole 33. Therefore, when the nut 61 is tightened, the ruler portion 30 moves along the corner portion 60f, and the center line of the ruler portion 30 approaches the center axis of the long hole 33, and the ruler portion 30 is fixed to the other end of the arm body 51, 52. As a result, the first leg portion 10, the second leg portion 11, and the arm body 51, 52 rotate so that the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the centers of the tip members 20, 21 and the center axis of the ruler portion 30 coincide with each other, so that accurate marking can be performed.

[0089] According to another embodiment, the ruler portion 30 may be fixed by screwing a thumbscrew 62 into the oval portion 60e as shown in Fig. 10, instead of using the nut 61. It goes without saying that at least one of the ruler portion 30, tip members 20, 21, angle adjustment portion 40, and ruler support portion 50 of the scribing jig 2 shown in Figs. 7 to 10 may be applied to the scribing jig 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 6.

[0090] It should be noted that within the scope of the concept of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may come up with various modifications and alterations. It is understood that such modifications and alterations fall within the scope of the present invention. For example, even if a person skilled in the art appropriately adds, deletes, or modifies the design of the above-described embodiment, or adds, omits, or modifies the conditions of a process, these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present invention as long as they include the gist of the present invention.
