Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、長さ等を計測するために使用される携帯用の物差しの一端部に取付ける物差し用クリップ部材に関し、特に、物差しを衣服のポケット等に差し込んで持ち歩くことができると共に、落としにくくする物差し用クリップ部材に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
各種作業の現場で物の寸法を計測する必要上、衣服の胸ポケット等に携帯用の物差しを差し込んでおく場合が多いが、作業中、前傾姿勢になった際にその物差しが抜け落ちてしまうことがあった。
この為、図３に示すように、物差し１の一端部にクリップ部材２を取付けたものが提案されている。このクリップ部材２は、物差し１の表側の板面１ａに重ね合わされる取付板部３と、一端部４ａにおいて上記取付板部３に連続し他端部４ｂにおいて上記物差し１の板面１ａに弾性的に圧接されるクリップ部４と、から成る金属製のもので、上記取付板部３の両側縁の対応する位置に、１対又は複数対の舌片部５ａ、５ｂを設けたものである。このクリップ部材２を物差し１に取付ける際には、先ず、その取付板部３を物差し１の表側の板面１ａに重ね合わせ、取付板部３の両側辺の舌片部５ａ、５ｂを、物差し１の側縁部１ｂに沿って折り曲げ、更に物差し１の裏側１ｃに向けて折り曲げることによって、物差し１をその両側縁から包みこむようにして係止する。
【０００３】
このクリップ部材２の取付けられた物差し１は、衣服のポケット等に差し込んだ際にクリップ部材２の弾性力によって固定されるので、ポケット等から抜け落ちにくくなる。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記クリップ部材２は、舌片部５ａ、５ｂを折り曲げて物差し１に取り付けていただけであるので、舌片部５ａ、５ｂの折り曲げが確実でない場合は、物差し１がずれてクリップ部材２から外れてしまうとことがあった。このため、物差し１を胸ポケットに差し込んでおいても、作業姿勢によっては、抜け落ちてしまうことがあり、作業現場において物の寸法を計測できないことがあった。
【０００５】
そこで、本発明は、物差しを衣服のポケット等に入れて持ち歩くことができると共に、ポケットから抜け落ちにくくする物差し用クリップ部材を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明による物差し用クリップ部材は、一端部に孔を有する物差しの一方の板面に重ね合わされる取付板部と、該取付板部の一端部に連続して折り曲げ形成されたクリップ部とを備え、上記物差しの一端部側に取付けられる物差し用クリップ部材であって、上記取付板部の上記物差しに重ね合わされる面に該物差しの孔に嵌合し得る係止部を設け、該取付板部の両側辺に上記物差しの両側縁の対応する位置を係止し得る舌片部を設け、上記物差しの一端部側に取付けられた状態でクリップ部の先端が該物差しの板面に弾性的に圧接可能とされていることを特徴とするものである。
【０００７】
このような構成により、物差し用クリップ部材を物差しに取付ける際には、係止部において物差しの孔と嵌合させ、舌片部において物差しの両側縁を係止する。これによって、クリップ部材を物差しに強固に取付けることができるようになり、クリップ部材が物差しから外れにくくなる。また、物差し用クリップ部材のクリップ部の先端部が、物差しに弾性的に圧接されるので、かかる物差し用クリップ部材を取り付けた物差しを衣服の胸ポケット等に差し込んだ際に、クリップ部の弾性力によって物差しがポケット内に固定される。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図１は、本発明による物差し用クリップ部材の実施の形態を示す説明図である。この物差し用クリップ部材３０は、図１（ａ），（ｂ）及び（ｃ）に示すように、既存の物差し２０の一端部に取付けられるもので、取付板部３１と、クリップ部３２とを備えて成る。なお、この場合の物差し２０は、一端部に所定の大きさの孔２１を有するものであればよく、その材質及び形状は問わない。
【０００９】
取付板部３１は、物差し２０の一方の板面に重ね合わされる部位であり、矩形形状の金属板からなる。この取付板部３１の物差し２０に重ね合わされる側の板面には、図１（ｄ）に示すように、物差し２０の孔２１に嵌合し得る係止部３３が設けられている。この係止部３３は、プレス加工等によって形成されたスリーブ状のものであり、開口縁部を物差し２０が重ね合わされる側に突出させている。また、取付板部３１の両側辺には物差し２０の両側縁の対応する位置を係止し得る一対又は複数対の舌片部３４ａ，３４ｂが設けられている。
【００１０】
上記取付板部３１の一端部３１ａには、クリップ部３２が連続して折り曲げ形成されている。このクリップ部３２は、物差し２０に取付けられることによってクリップとして機能する部位であり、前記取付板部３１よりも幅が狭く弾性に富んだ状態となっている。このクリップ部３２の先端部３５は、物差し２０に取付けた状態において、物差し２０の板面に弾性的に圧接可能となっている。
【００１１】
以下、上記物差し用クリップ部材３０の製造について、図２を参照して説明する。この物差し用クリップ部材３０の材料は、図２（ａ）及び（ｂ）に示すような取付板部３１とクリップ部３２とからなる金属板であり、かかる金属板を、図２（ｃ）及び図２（ｄ）のように、取付板部３１とクリップ部３２との境界部において、クリップ部３２の先端部３５が、物差し２０に取付けた際に、物差し２０の板面に弾性的に圧接される程度にまで折り曲げる。この際、クリップ部３２の先端部３５を、取付けられる物差し２０の側に突出するよう湾曲させてもよい。
【００１２】
このように構成された物差し用クリップ部材３０を使用するには、図１に示すように、物差し用クリップ部材３０の取付板部３１とクリップ部３２との間に物差し２０を入れ、物差し２０の孔２１と取付板部３１の係止部３３とを嵌合させる。そして、取付板部３１と物差し２０との一端部及び両側縁部を重ね合わせた状態で、取付板部３１の両縁部の舌片部３４ａ，３４ｂを、物差し２０の側縁部を包み込むように折り曲げる。これによって、図１に示すように、物差し用クリップ部材３０が物差し２０に確実に取付けられる。
【００１３】
このようにして物差し用クリップ部材３０が取付けられた物差し２０は、衣服のポケット等に差し込んだ際に、物差し用クリップ部材３０の弾性力によって固定されるので、作業中に物差し２０が胸ポケットから滑り落ちるといったことが生じ難くなり、作業現場において、物の寸法を随時計測できるようになる。
【００１４】
なお、本実施形態の物差し用クリップ部材３０が取付けられた物差し２０において、その物差し２０は、長さを計測でき、尚且つ携帯できる大きさであるならば、如何なる形状のものであってもよく、目盛りの表現形態も如何なるものであってもよい。また、クリップ部３２の先端部３５には、物差し２０の板面に弾性的に圧接させるために、凸状の部材を固定し、或いは予め凸状の肉厚部を形成しておく等の手段を施してもよい。
【００１５】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る物差し用クリップ部材によれば、取付板部に設けられた係止部において物差しの孔と嵌合させ、舌片部において物差しの両側縁を係止するので、この物差し用クリップ部材を物差しに強固に取付けることができる。これによって、衣服のポケット等に物差しを差し込んでおいても、物差しが抜け落ちにくくなり、作業中に手軽に物の寸法を計測することができる。
