The present invention relates to a tape measure structure, and more particularly to a tape measure structure avoiding abrasion, preventing users from being damaged, and convenient for operation without interfering with hand feeling.
Traditional tape measures include an outer housing, winder configured inside the outer housing, tape body wound around the winder and fixing block movably configured on the outer housing, where the tape body can be pulled out to carry out measurement and the fixing block can also be operated to move to be in touch with and fix the ruler body when used. However, the fixing block is made of hard material such that it will cause abrasion to the tape body. In addition, the fixing block is selectively fixed to the housing such that the operation has no hand feeling and is unable to adjust the recovery speed of the tape body.
Therefore, conventional touch tape measures are available in the market; they are characterized in that the housing thereof has an opening for the exposedness of the tape body, allowing users to put a finger in the opening, and the finger is directly used to touch to adjust the recovery speed of the ruler body, which is possible to damage the finger according to use experience.
To overcome the drawbacks mentioned above, the present invention is proposed.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a tape measure structure, capable of reducing the abrasion to a tape body and preventing users from being injured.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tape measure structure, capable of operation through the sense of touch.
To achieve the objects mentioned above, the present invention proposes a tape measure structure, including: at least one housing assembly; at least one rotation disk, movably configured inside the housing assembly; at least one tape body, movably put around the rotation disk, one end thereof selectively passed out of the housing assembly; at least one access opening, configured on the housing assembly and allowing the tape body to be passed out thereof; at least one operation portion, configured on one side of the housing assembly adjacent to the access opening; at least one combination portion, configured inside the housing assembly and positioned on one side of the operation portion; at least one flexible control element, coupled to the combination portion and adapted to shield a part of the tape body exposed out of the operation portion, and deformable to touch and stop the tape body after pressed down; and at least one buffer, configured on one side of the flexible control element adjacent to the access opening.
Therefore, a user may press the flexible control element to deform it to touch the tape body to stop it without needing to directly touch the tape body with a finger during use, thereby preventing the user from being injured and reducing the abrasion to the tape body. In addition, users may use the flexible control element to achieve the objects of direct operation and adjustment through the sense of touch. Furthermore, when the tape body is wound back, the buffering of the buffer can be used to reduce the damage to the tape body and the sound generated from collision.

The housing assembly 1 has at least one access opening 11 allowing the tape body 3 to be passed out thereof, at least one operation portion 12 corresponding to the tape body 3 is configured on one side of the housing assembly 1 adjacent to the access opening 11, and at least one combination portion 13 positioned at one side of the operation portion 12 is configured inside the housing assembly 1.
Furthermore, the flexible control element 4 is coupled to the combination portion 13 by means of plug, fastening or injection; here, plug is taken as an implementation in the embodiment. The flexible control element 4 is configured with at least one butt joint 46 having a shape similar to the combination 13 configured on the flexible control element 4 such that the combination portion 13 is put around the but joint 46 so as to increase a fixation effect. In addition, the flexible control element 4 can be pressed in a deformable way to touch and stop the tape body 3, and shield the part of the tape body 3 exposed out of the operation portion 12. Furthermore, at least one brake 43 is configured on one side of the flexible control element 4 adjacent to the tape body 3, and at least one pressing portion 44 another side thereof away from the tape body 3. In addition, the flexible control element 4 is formed with at least one bending portion 45 to facilitate deformation.
At least one buffer 41 is configured on one side of the flexible control element 4 adjacent to the access opening 11, and at least one limit portion positioned on one side of the buffer 41 away from the access opening 11 is configured on the flexible control element 4, and at least one support portion 14 inserted in the limit portion 42 to prevent the flexible control element 4 from being moved and separated is configured on the housing assembly 1 adjacent to the access opening 11. Furthermore, at least one hook 21 corresponding to the buffer 41 is configured on one end of the tape body 3 adjacent to the access opening 11. In addition, the support portion 14, in the embodiment, includes at least one stopper 141 adapted to block the flexible control element 4 and at least one strengthener 142 formed an included angle with the stopper 141. With the strengthener 142, the structural strength of the stopper 141 can be increased to avoid damage thereto.
Furthermore, at least one fixation device 5 adapted to selectively fix the tape body 3 is movably configured on the housing assembly 1, and at least one hanger 6 the housing assembly 1; the above is only one of the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not so limited.
