Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ruler with which one draws straight lines, which has been arranged with one or more displaceable and adjustable measuring memories.
  • This invention has purposely solved the above problems and the ruler characterize by the following which hitherto is not earlier known: that in and by the ruler has been arranged one room or several rooms, whence the upside or upsides of said room or rooms have been overbuilt, by that the ruler consists of one oblong bottom part or several oblong bottom parts which are arranged to form one oblong bottom part and thereover said bottom part means one oblong upper part or several oblong upper parts which are arranged to form one oblong upper part, wherein the short sides between said bottom part means and said upper part means are joined with these short insert means, and that between said bottom part means and said upper part means lengthways of the ruler has been arranged longitudinal insert means, whereby of said insert means said upper part means has been separated a distance from and over said bottom part means and said one oblong overbuilt room or several oblong overbuilt rooms have been formed in the ruler, whence said room or rooms extend between said bottom part means, which forms the bottom or the bottoms of said room or rooms,
  • the ruler with enclosed and overbuilt measuring memories is well usable for example when drawing houses, as a hobby or professionally, where it often is hard to remember measures which one compares with other measures over and over again, in the schoolwork when drawing figures in the mathematics, where one often forgets the measures when one is about to draw them and has been occupied for a long time with figures, and at offices, at a drawing table, when drawing machine parts and on other occasions where one needs to measure measures, rule measures and preserve measures and it is important that one, when using the ruler for a long time, may rest the hand on the ruler when one rules and/or adjusts the measuring memories, without that one reaches or moves the measuring memories unintentionally.
  • Figure 1 shows a ruler with encased and overbuilt measuring memory, according to the invention, seen in the longitudinal direction and from above.
  • Figure 2 shows parts of the encased and overbuilt measuring memory, which is shown on figure 1, in cross section.
  • Figure 3 shows parts of the encased and overbuilt measuring memory, which is shown on the figures 1 and 2, in parted sections seen sideways from above.
  • Figure 4 shows a ruler with front and back encased and overbuilt measuring memories, according to the invention, seen in the longitudinal direction from above.
  • Figure 5 shows the ruler with front and back encased and overbuilt measuring memories, according to figure 4, seen straight from above.
  • Figure 6 shows the ruler with front and back encased and overbuilt measuring memories, according to the figures 4 and 5, in profile and the ruler in cross section.
  • Figure 7 shows the back encased and overbuilt measuring memory, which is shown on the figures 4, 5 and 6, in profile and the back room with the room casing in cross section.
  • Figure 8 shows the back encased and overbuilt measuring memory, which is shown on the figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, seen in the longitudinal direction and sideways from above, and parts of the back room without the upper part.
  • the ruler 1 which, is shown on the figures 1 -3 and on a part of the figures 4 - 6, has an oblong bottom part 2 and over the whole bottom part 2 an oblong transparent upper part 3 and in one short side between these extends from these a moulded short insert form 4a and in the other short side between these is arranged a separate short insert form 4b which is joined with these.
  • a back longitudinal insert form 5 moulded with the upper part 3 and the bottom part 2 and in one short side moulded, with the moulded short insert form 4a and in the other short side separate joined with the separate short insert form 4b.
  • the upper part 3 is in front die cast in a deflection 6, which extends to the top edge of the measuring- and drawing edge 7, over the front edge of the bottom part 8, under which is arranged a scale of measurements 9, and the deflection 6 constitutes a front longitudinal insert form.
  • the ruler 1 thereby has an oblong inner room 10 which extends between the upside of the bottom part 2, which thus forms the bottom of the room 10, and the underside of the upper part 3, which thus forms the ceiling of the room 10, and the insides of the short insert forms 4a,b and the insides of the longitudinal insert forms 5,6, whence the insides of the insert, forms 4a,b,5,6 thus forms the walls of the room 10.
  • Both longitudinal insert forms 5,6 streighten the ruler 1 and prevent that big swing occurs on the upper part 3 when one puts the hand on the same while ruling.
  • a longitudinal opening 11 extends along the upper part 3 over the room 10. The longitudinal opening 11 parts the upper part 3 in a bigger front part of the upper part 3a and a back smaller part of the upper part 3b.
  • the bottom part 2 has a path 12, which has the form of a score which extends inside and along the bottom part 2 right under the longitudinal opening 11.
  • the path 12 has upmost two, with space between, parallel running outwards bevelled longitudinal sliding edges 12a,b and thereunder each a straight wall 12c,d under which there is a bottom 12e, which has a dust opening 12f (see also point 1), page 10).
  • the ruler 1 can for example be made in plexiglas or plastic or both.
  • the upper part 3 and the bottom part 2 and the insert forms 4a,b,5 are suitably each about equally thick (see also the points 4), 6) - 8)).
  • the measuring memory 13 has a slide 14, which sliding sides 14a, b, which are inwards bevelled, bear against the outwards bevelled longitudinal sliding edges of the path 12a,b and the bottom of the slide 14 does not touch the bottom of the path 12e (see also the points 2) , 3 ) ) .
  • a measuring arm score 14c which longitudinal score edges 14d,e in this example extend up over the longitudinal sliding edges of the path 12a,b.
  • the slide 14 has about its middle a hole 14f and over the measuring arm score of the slide 14c lays a part of a measuring arm 16a, which has a hole 16b. which fits over the hole of the slide 14f.
  • the front remaining measuring arm part 16c extends forward in the room 10 between the bottom part 2 and the front part of the upper part 3a, without bearing against these, and in front in a deflection to the measuring and drawing edge 7, without that the measuring arm tip 16d touches the inside of the deflection of the upper part 6.
  • a separate steel spring arrangement 15 (see also point 16)).
  • upper measuring arm score 17 fixed, which downwardly longitudinal score edges 17a,b lay on the longitudinal score edges of the measuring arm score of the slide 14d,e.
  • a displacement part 18 which extends a distance up in the longitudinal opening 11, and which has a finger excavation 18a, which is formed so that it fits a finger.
  • a hole 18b At the bottom in the niddle of the finger excavation 18a is a hole 18b, which also goes through the upper measuring arm score 17, whence the hole 18b fits over the hole of the measuring arm 16b.
  • a screw 19 which is threaded only downmost, whence the threaded part 19a is screwed up in a nut 20 which lays in an excavation 14g on the bottom of the slide 14 under the hole of the slide 14f (instead of the above the parts can be rived together or similar).
  • the finger excavation 18a can be fixed some finger grip part, which conceals the screw head, and the finger grip part can be grooved, or similar, and be arranged with a little excavation which fits a pencil tip.
  • the upside of a thinned and narrowing measuring arm part 16g which does not touch the insides of the longitudinal score edges 14d,e,17a,b, whence this measuring arm part 16g is so arranged to be able to spring, pressed up towards the ceiling of the upper measuring arm score 17c.
  • the front friction part 21 prevents that the upside of the between the bottom part 2 and the front part of the upper part 3a laying measuring arm part 16c and the upside of the front part of the upper measuring arm score 17 is exposed to friction, so that the brake effect on the measuring memory 13 will not be too large and so that a minimum of scratches will appear along the underside of the front part of the upper part 3a when one displaces the measuring memory 13.
  • the thinned and narrowing measuring arm part 16g bends down over the spring arrangement 15 in that part of the formed spring room 22 which extends between the underside of the thinned measuring arm part 16g and the bottom of the measuring arm score of the slide 14i.
  • the front part of the upper measuring arm score 17, which also is an insert which takes up hard pressu res on the ruler 1, and thereby spares the spring arrangement 15 and the measuring arm 16, is so arranged in height that its upside does not touch the underside of the front part of the upper part 3a other than when the front part of the upper part 3a is depressed, as sometimes when ruling.
  • the measuring memory 13 When one leads the measuring memory 13 along the room 10, which one can do between the insides of the short insert forms 4a,b, the measuring memory 13, when the parts of the measuring memory 13 have been arranged in coordination with each other, goes altogether straight, just enough easy and also softly and evenly, when the over the spring arrangement 15 springing measuring arm part 16g and the spring arrangement 15 smoothes possible irregularities along the underside of the front part of the upper part 3a.
  • the friction parts 21,23 are suitably formed in durable and friction resisting plastic (see also the points 14), 16) - 18)).
  • the measuring memory 13 stops immediately when one stops the same, precisely on the adjusted measure, when accordingly the spring arrangement 15 and the thinned measuring arm part 16g the whole time keep the upsides of the friction parts 21,23 pressed up against the underside of the upper part 3.
  • the measuring memory 13 thereafter, through its clamping position between the path 12 and the upper part 3, remains in its adjusted position on the measure and preserves the measure until one leads the measuring memory 13 aside again. The same is valid for every other measuring memory 13 which one sets out in the room 10 and wherever one in the room 10 places the same and even if one turns, moves or shakes the ruler 1.
  • the displacement part 18 in the longitudinal opening 11 extends a distance below the upside of the upper part 3, which makes it overbuilt by the upper part 3, and when the measuring arm 16 does not extend past the measuring- and drawing edge 7, one can also rule forward to and past the measuring memories 13 with the hand simultaneously resting on and draging over the upside of the ruler 1, which one should do, without that the measuring memories 13 move thereof.
  • the measuring memories 13 the whole time are enclosed in the room 10 the measuring memories 13 are neither in the way and disturb when one works with the ruler 1, simultaneously as the measuring memories 13 the whole time are protected from bumps and such (see also the points 9), 10)).
  • the upper part 3 is in this example down bevelled in the short sides of the longitudinal opening 11 and somewhat along its longitudinal edges, so that one can reach the displacement part 18 when so is intended (but accordingly not unvoluntarily).
  • the front part of the measuring arm 16c which shows and makes clearer the measure, is wide and supplied with two straight longitudinal edges, which can be used as measuring edges (see also point 12)).
  • Two measuring memories 13 can be slided together in the room 10 if one arranges every displacement part 18 of the measuring memory 13 in line with the inner longitudinal edge of the measuring arm 16, whereby one with the inner longitudinal edges can mark two measures which lay close to each other on the scale of measurements 9. That or those longitudinal edges which are used as a measuring edge can be marked vith a stroke or some symbol (see also point 15)).
  • the deflection of the upper part 6 is so arranged, low and thickest upover and gradually thinner and in such a grade angle that no unwanted optical phenomenons, as for example too strong enlargements or unwanted refractions in the material, appear under normal use, whereby the degree stroke and the measuring arm 16 do not misrepresent by the same, and the thin front edge of the deflection of the upper part 6a lays on the upmost edge of the measuring- and drawing edge 7 and the measuring arm tip 16d extends to a little distance behind the inside of the deflection of the upper part 6, which makes the eye perceive that the measuring arm 16 goes all the way to the measuring- and drawing edge 7 when ruling and marking measures.
  • the measuring edge of the measuring arm 16 seems to go all the way and when it is straight so that it follows the degree stroke, the measuring edge in practice also prolongs and distincts the degree stroke on which the measuring memory 13 is set, which helps the person who rules to clearly see the degree stroke and thus helps him to clearly read the adjusted measure and gives him a good target where to stop the ruling.
  • the ruler 1 is suitably placed in a ruler shelter when it is not used. However can the ruler 1 easily be cleaned from dust by that one for example leads a little pencil brush through the longitudinal opening 11 and with that leads out the dust through the dust opening 12f.
  • the ruler and the measuring memories can be varied in many ways, whence here follows some examples: 1) The bottom of the path can be wholly covered or it can be arranged with big openings. 2) The longitudinal sliding edges of the path can be bent inwards and the slide can be round. 3) The path can have the form of a slide bar or another score than the score given in the example and the slide then is formed so that it fits thereto. 4) To make the ruler look even lower and estetic one can bevel the upper longitudinal back edge of the upper part. Also the upper short side edges of the upper part can be bevelled. 5) The upper part can be arranged nontransparent over the gliding trace of the friction parts to conceal the possible few scratches which appear of the same.
  • the ruler also can be casted wholly in one form.
  • the back longitudinal insert form does not have to be one sole long piece, but can instead be parted in several smaller pieces, placed with space between each other.
  • the short insert forms can extend along the whole or a part of the short sides.
  • the ruler can be arranged in one of the following ways: a) The whole ruler can be formed in transparent material which is uncoloured or transparent coloured. b) The upper part and the bottom part and possible thereto belonged insert forms can be formed in transparent material which is uncoloured or transparent coloured and the separate insert forms can be formed in nontransparent material which is nontransparent coloured or uncoloured. c) The upper part and thereto possible belonged insert forms can be formed in transparent material which is uncoloured or transparent coloured and the separate insert forms, if they exist, and the bottom part and thereto possible belonged insert forms can be formed in nontransparent material which, is uncoloured or nontransparent coloured.
  • a parking room where one can park the measuring memories when they are not used, can be arranged for example in the left end, from the inside of the left short insert form to the beginning of the scale of measurements, or in the same way in the right end of the room or in both ends of the room, b) The upper part can be arranged nontransparent over the parking room.
  • Above the parking room can along for example the underside of the front part of the upper part be arranged a wedge-shaped excavation, a distance along the longitudinal opening.
  • the purpose with the excavation is that, when the measuring memory is parked under the same, meanwhile the spring can stretch out. This is not necessary if one has a U-formed spring, but it can be good at other spring types.
  • the excavation can also be arranged along the front longitudinal sliding edge of the path under the parking room.
  • the ruler can also be arranged wholly without ruler grip.
  • the front part of the measuring arm can have another form than the form described, for example tip-shape or needle-shape.
  • the measuring arm can, backwards up to and including the front friction part, have gradually wider form so that at last it is as wide as the displacement part, or straight form or other form.
  • the backmost thickened and wide measuring arm part can be formed in one form with the slide or similar, instead of that a projecting part is placed in an excavation on the slide. Instead also a projecting part can extend from the slide and be leaded into an excavation on the measuring arm. Several similar arrangements can also instead be arranged to get a measuring arm clamping locking device.
  • Every measuring memory can be formed in transparent or nontransparent material and it can be arranged in one or more colours, which match the colour or colours of the ruler.
  • the spring is a conic separate compression spring, but one can as well between the slide and the measuring arm part over the slide arrange another steel- or plastic spring arrangement (for example with U-form) which is separate or which is joined with the measuring arm score of the slide or the measuring arm part over the slide, in such a way that the spring contributes with adapted compression strain to that the thinned measuring arm part is pressed up from the slide. 17) The spring can be taken away.
  • the measuring memory can consist of: A slide and a measuring arm, whence a part of the measuring arm extends a level above the bottom part in the room and a part of the measuring arm is joined with, the slide and on the later-mentioned measuring arm part is a displacement part joined and a distance in front of the displacement part is on the measuring arm joined a friction part, which bear against the underside of the front part of the upper part, whence the measuring arm distance between the displacement part and the front friction part is formed so that it constitutes a front spring, which can be bent down, and backover on the measuring memory
  • one of the following arrangements can be used: a) On the rear part of the measuring arm a back friction part which bear against the underside of the back part of the upper part, b) A spring which extends upwards and bear against the underside of the back part of the upper part.
  • the measuring arm extends a further distance behind the slide, whence this measuring arm distance is formed so that it constitutes a spring which can be bent down, and backmost on the same is joined a back friction part which bear against the underside of the back part of the upper part.
  • the ruler 25 consists of a front bigger part 1, which is identical with the ruler 1, and from its bottom part 2, under the lower longitudinal back edge of the back longitudinal insert form 5, extends backwards a bottom part 2a and from its back part of the upper part 3c, over the upper longitudinal back edge of the back longitudinal insert form 5, extends backwards an upper part 3c and in one short side between the backwards extending bottom part 2a and upper part 3c is a short insert form 4d moulded with the same and the front moulded short insert form 4a, and in the other short side between the backwards extending bottom part 2a and upper part 3c is a separate short insert form 4d joined with the same and the front separate short insert form 4b.
  • the ruler 25 thereby also gets a back smaller part 26 with therein a back smaller overbuilt room 27, which extends between the upside of the bottom part of the back room 2a, which thus forms the bottom of the room 27, and the underside of the upper part of the back room 3c, which thus forms the ceiling of the room 27, and the insides of the short insert forms of the back room 4c,d and the backside of the back longitudinal insert form 5 and the backside of the ruler 25, whence mentioned insert forms 4c,d,5 form walls of the room 27.
  • a distance behind the scale border 28 extends, from a smaller part of the bottom part of the back room 2a and a smaller part of the lower halfs of the insides of the short insert forms of the back room 4c, d, a path consisting of a slide bar 30 (see also point 1), page 17), and behind the slide bar 30 is a longitudinal opening 31 between the remaining part of the bottom part of the back room 2a and the upper part of the back room 3c and the short insert forms of the back room 4c, d.
  • the ruler 25 can for example be formed in plexiglas or plastic or both.
  • the upper part 3, the bottom part 2 and the insert forms 4,5 are suitably each approximately equally thick (see also the points 2) - 4)).
  • the front room 10 is in this example one measuring memory 13, but one can as well place more measuring memories 13 in the overbuilt room 10.
  • the back room 27 have in this example been placed two measuring memories 32, but one can as well place one or more measuring memories 32 in the overbuilt room 27.
  • Every measuring memory 32 have in the longitudinal opening 31, a distance in front of the backsides of the bottom part of the back room 2a and the upper part of the back room 3c, a displacement part 33, which lower part is precisely behind the slide bar 30.
  • the backside of the displacement part 33 is suitably grooved, so that one can get hold of the displacement part 33 with a finger when so is intended (but not unvoluntarily). From a part of the frontside of the displacement part 33 protrudes a frame 34.
  • the frame 34 first extends straight forward, precisely over the slide bar 30 and thereafter the frame 34 extends in a shorter downwards slope and the frame 34 also extends between precisely in front of the slide bar 30 and a distance behind the backside of the scale border 28, without laying on the bot— tom part of the back room 2a.
  • a spring 35 In front of the lowest part of the downwards slope extends from the frame 34 a spring 35, which extends upwards and backwards a distance over the downwards slope and a distance over that part of the frame 34 which lays on the slide bar 30, where the upside of the spring 35 bear against the underside of the upper part of the back room 3c and the spring 35 bends a little towards the later mentioned frame part.
  • the pointer part 38 is also kept in a straight position a distance over the scale of measurements 29, without tilting down and scratching the same, by that the upside of the displacement part 33 also bear against the underside of the upper part of the back room 3c.
  • the measuring memory 32 goes altogether just enough easy and also softly and evenly, when the spring 35 smoothes possible irregularities along the underside of the upper part of the back room 3c.
  • the parts of the measuring memory 32 are suitably formed in durable and friction resisting plastic.
  • the measuring memory 32 stops immediately when one lets go the same, precisely on the adjusted measure, when at least the upside of the spring 35 all the time bear against the underside of the upper part of the back room 3c.
  • the measuring memory 32 then, through its clamping position between the slide bar 30 and the upper part of the back room 3c, remains in its adjusted position on the measure and preserves the measure until one moves the measuring memory 32 aside again.
  • the same is valid for every other measuring memory 32 which one sets out in the back room 27 and wherever one in the back room 27 places the same and even if one turns or removes the ruler 25.
  • the bottom part of the back room 2a and the upper part of the back room 3c have, as mentioned before, been arranged so that they extend a distance behind the displacement parts 33, so that one also can hold the ruler 25 with a grip around the upper part 3 and the bottom part 2 without that the measuring memories 32 are moved thereof.
  • the measuring memories 32 the whole time are enclosed in the back room 27 the same are not in the way and disturb when one works with the ruler 25, simultaneously as the measuring memories 32 the whole time are protected from bumps and such (see also the points 5 ) , 6) ) .
  • the pointer part 38 which shows and makes clearer the measure, has a wide form which one longitudinal edge is straight and is a measuring edge and which other longitudinal edge is bent upover to prevent misunderstanding between the measuring edges when one uses several measuring memories 32 next to each other (see also the points 7), 10)). If one arranges the measuring edges of two pointer parts 38 in such a way that they can be slided together, two wholly adjacent measures can be marked also with two measuring memories 32 on the scale of measurements 29 in the back room 27.
  • one with the front measuring memory 13 When one with the front measuring memory 13 has measured a measure, one can preserve this measure by putting a back measuring memory 32 on the same measure on the back scale of measurements 29. With the front measuring memory 13 one can operate freely and measure new measures, aim measures, directly compare new measures with preserved measures, and also for a short space of time preserve measures and the front measuring memory 13 also is used as a pointer when one rules new and preserved measures. While one is working with the front measuring memory 13, one can have comparison measures preserved with the back measuring memories 32 (which, as known, is out of the way for the front measuring memory 13 in a special back room 27) as long as desired, simultaneously as these measures are easy to read at need.
  • the back part of the ruler which has a back room and the measuring memories can be varied in many ways, whence here follows some examples: 1) The path can have the form of a score, or another form and the slide of the measuring memory then is formed so that it fits thereto. 2) The back edges of the upper part of the back room and the bottom part of the back room can be bevelled. 3) In the short sides one can use certain of the insert alternatives which have been described for the ruler 1, the points 6a a-h. 4) The back part of the ruler can be formed wholly in transparent material or in any of the ways which have been described for the ruler 1, the points 7 b-c. 5) The back room can be arranged with parking room, in any of the ways which have been described for the ruler 1, the points 9a-b.
  • the purpose with the excavation is that, when the measuring memory is parked in the parking room, the spring can stretch out if so is wanted.
  • the pointer part can have other form than what have been shown on the figures 4 -8, for example tip-shape or needle-shape.

  • With the measuring memory is also joined one or more parts which bear against the underside of the upper part.
  • the measuring memory is suitably arranged springing in any of the ways which have been described for the ruler 1.
  • the ruler can be varied according to what have been described for the ruler 1, to the suitable extent.
  • the fourth example is a ruler which consists of an oblong bottom part and over the whole bottom part an oblong upper part wherein both short sides between these have been fixed and joined short insert forms, and wherein the backside between the bottom part and the upper part has been arranged a back longitudinal insert form which has been joined with these.
  • the upper part is in front deflected to the measuring- and drawing edge, whence the deflection of the upper part constitutes a front longitudinal insert form.
  • the ruler thereby has an oblong overbuilt room in and by the same.
  • a path extends along the bottom part.
  • the path has the form of a slide bar, which on the underside has a smaller base, which is joined with the bottom part.
  • a slot then is formed in front between the upside of the bottom part and the underside of the slide bar to the front of the base and a slot is formed backover between the upside of the bottom part and the underside of the slide bar to the backside of the base.
  • On the slide bar in the room is placed a number of measuring memories which each have a slide, approximately 1 cm in breadth, which is put over the slide bar.
  • the slide is in the lower part front and back accomplished with an insert part, which is pushed in the proper slot and one of, or both of, the insert parts are supplied with a spring, suitably in plastic, which bear on the base of the slide bar.
  • a measuring arm is joined with the slide The measuring arm extends all the way to the front measuring- and drawing edge of the bottom part.
  • the slide, or a separate joined part, can function as displacement part.
  • the ruler can be supplied with a ruler grip and parking room.
  • Every ruler with measuring memories can be supplied with several scale of measurements of the bottom part in rows under each other and one or more scale of measurements along the upper part.
  • a scale of measurements of the upper part can be precisely the same as a scale of measurements of the bottom part, and it can be arranged in coordination with such a one, and be good for quick adjustment of measures, or the scale of measurements of the upper part can also be a wholly different scale of measurements than a scale of measurements of the bottom part, and one can also have one or more of each.
  • Rulers with millimeter scale of measurements can be supplied with millimeter figures which are arranged sideways from the millimeter strokes and one or more wide-shaped measuring memories (front or back measuring memory) which are placed in such a ruler can be arranged with a hole on its measuring arm, respectively pointer part.
  • the hole is so placed that it overlays the row with millimeter figures and is arranged as large as exactly one figure gets room in there.
  • the figures are arranged sideways to the right from the strokes in such a way that when the measuring memory is put on a millimeter stroke, the figure notation of the same millimeter stroke appears in the measuring memory hole.
  • the measuring memory For each millimeter stroke one puts the measuring memory on thereby the correct millimeter figure is encircled in the mea suring memory hole. It is also possible to put a measuring memory on a millimeter stroke wholly at starting point from when the right figure is seen in the hole, if one from the beginning has a given measure. If one alternatively uses the right longitudinal edge of the measuring memory as a measuring edge the figures instead have to be arranged to the left from the millimeter strokes. One can also on the ruler arrange two rows of millimeter figures, whence one row is arranged to the right from the strokes and one row is arranged to the left from the strokes.
  • These two rows can be used to one (or more) left- and right longitudinal edges of wide-formed front measuring memories, in which case every measuring memory is t ⁇ be arranged with two holes, one upper hole for the upper row and one lower hole for the lower row.
  • the two rows also can be used for inner longitudinal edges of two wide-formed measuring memories (front or back measuring memory), in which case one measuring memory is arranged with a hole for the upper row and the other measuring memory is arranged with a hole for the lower row.
  • Each measuring memory hole can be supplied with an approximately 1 mm thick enlargement glass, in the size of a date showing glass of a date watch, which enlarges the figures.
  • the measuring arm respectively the pointer part, then has to be arranged somewhat thicker along the part where the hole is done.
  • notations than millimeter figures also can be arranged sideways under the row or rows of millimeter figures, for instance a 1-200 scale, which is arranged with small figures, which, one at a time, can be seen in one and same measuring memory hole which was used for millimeter figures, or in a separate measuring memory hole, which also can be supplied with enlargement glass.
  • the measuring arm, respectively the pointer part, in front instead of wide-form has tip-form, or- other shape
  • the notations instead have to be arranged straight behind the degree strokes or so that they fit in a hole on the alternate form.
  • One or more scales of measurements of the bottom part and/or the upper part can, as is understood, be arranged with notations or smaller sca les. How many big scales of measurements, notations and smaller scales which totally can be arranged depends on how wide the ruler is made.

Abstract

Regle avec une ou plusieurs memoires de mesure deplacables, la regle (1; 25; 2, 5, 26) consistant en des moyens de pieces inferieures oblongues (2; 2, 2a) et par dessus des moyens de pieces superieures oblongues (3a, b; 3a, b, c; 3c) et entre les deux dans les cotes courts, des moyens de pieces rapportees courtes (4a, b; 4a, b, c, d; 4c, b), qui sont jointes a celles-ci, et entre ces moyens de parties inferieures (2, 2, 2a) et ces moyens de parties superieures (3a, b; 3a, b, c; 3c), des moyens de pieces rapportees longitudinales (5, 6, 5) ont ete disposes, de maniere a former une ou plusieurs chambres superieures (10; 10, 27; 27) dans la regle (1; 25; 2, 5, 26). Dans la chambre (10; 27) ou chambres (10, 27) se trouvent une ou plusieurs memoires l'aide de leur moyen de deplacement (18; 18, 33; 33), au travers d'une ou de plusieurs ouvertures longitudinales (11; 11, 31; 31) de la ou des chambres (10; 10, 27; 27) pour leur deplacement dans la chambre (10; 27) ou chambres (10, 27) le long d'un ou plusieurs chemins (12; 12, 30; 30) de la chambre ou des chambres (10; 10, 27; 27). Par consequent il est possible de laisser trainer la main sur la partie superieure de la regle (1; 25; 2, 5, 26), lorsque l'on s'en sert pour mesurer, sans que la memoire de mesure (13; 32) ou memoires de mesure enfermees et rapportees (13, 32) soient deplacees involontairement.
