The present invention relates to measurement devices, and in particular, the invention relates to a tape measure, and more specifically, a tape measure with a guard member.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a tape measure. The tape measure includes a housing assembly defining a cavity and a tape port from which to extend and retract a measuring tape. The measuring tape forms a spool rotatably coupled about an axis. A hook member is fixedly coupled to an end portion of the measuring tape. A U-shaped guard member extends from the housing assembly adjacent the tape port. The guard member is configured to engage the hook member when the measuring tape is retracted into the housing assembly.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a tape measure. The tape measure includes a housing assembly defining a cavity and a tape port from which to extend and retract a measuring tape. The measuring tape forms a spool rotatably coupled about an axis. A hook member is fixedly coupled to an end portion of the measuring tape. A finger guard assembly extends from the housing assembly adjacent the tape port. The finger guard assembly includes a U-shaped guard member and a guard support member and is configured to engage the hook member when the measuring tape is retracted into the housing assembly.
In another construction, the invention provides a tape measure that includes a housing arranged to substantially enclose an internal cavity, the housing defining a tape port, and a tape positioned partially within the housing, the tape including an end portion that extends through the tape port and out of the housing. A hook is coupled to the end portion and a finger guard assembly is coupled to the housing and spaced apart from the tape port. The end portion extends through an aperture in the finger guard assembly and is movable between a retracted position in which the hook abuts the finger guard assembly and an extended position in which the hook is spaced apart from the finger guard assembly.
In another construction, the invention provides a tape measure that includes a housing arranged to substantially enclose an internal cavity, the housing defining a tape port and a finger guard assembly coupled to the housing and cooperating with the housing to define a finger gap. A tape is positioned partially within the housing and includes an end portion. The tape extends through the tape port, through the finger gap, and through an aperture in the finger guard assembly. A hook is coupled to the end portion and is operable to contact the finger guard assembly to inhibit retraction of the end portion past the finger guard assembly and into the finger gap.
In another construction, the invention provides a tape measure that includes a housing arranged to substantially enclose an internal cavity, the housing defining a tape port, and a finger guard assembly coupled to the housing and defining an opening. A tape is at least partially disposed within the housing. The tape is movable from a retracted position to an extended position by passing substantially linearly through the tape port and the opening. A finger gap is defined between the tape port and the finger guard, wherein a portion of tape within the finger gap is disposed outside of the housing.
In another construction, the invention provides a tape measure including a housing assembly including a first side wall, a second side wall, and a peripheral wall connecting the first side wall and the second side wall. The housing assembly defines an internal cavity. A port is disposed within the peripheral wall of the housing assembly. A spool is disposed within the internal cavity of the housing assembly, and the spool defines an axis of rotation. A measuring tape is at least partially disposed within the internal cavity of the housing assembly and extends through the port. The measuring tape is rotatably coupled to the spool. A hook member is fixed to an end portion of the measuring tape. The measuring tape is movable between a retracted position in, which the hook member is positioned proximate the port, and an extended position, in which the hook member is positioned away from the port. A retraction mechanism is coupled to the spool such that the retraction mechanism is configured to bias the measuring tape towards the retracted position. The tape measure further includes a finger guard assembly, including a guard member and a guard support. The guard support is coupled to the housing assembly and supporting the guard member. The guard member positioned between the port and the hook member.
In another construction, the invention provides a tape measure including a housing arranged to enclose an internal cavity, where the housing defines a front wall. A port is formed in the housing and spaced a non-zero distance from the front wall. A measuring tape is at least partially disposed within the internal cavity of the housing and extends through the port. The measuring tape is rotatably coupled to the housing. A finger guard assembly is positioned adjacent the front wall, such that the finger guard assembly cooperates with the port to define a space therebetween. The measuring tape passes through the space outside of the housing to facilitate the control of the retraction and extension of the measuring tape through contact within the space.
Other aspects of the invention will become apparent by consideration of the detailed description and accompanying drawings.
Before any constructions of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the following drawings. The invention is capable of other constructions and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways.
As illustrated in
Referring to
A slot 82 is defined along a forward portion 86 of the peripheral wall 58. The slot 82 is provided to allow for sliding movement of the tape lock 46 relative to housing assembly 18.
Below the slot 82, a tape port 90 is provided in the peripheral wall 58. The tape port 90 has an arcuate shape 94, corresponding to an arcuate cross-sectional profile of the measuring tape 14. The tape port 90 allows for the retraction and extension of the measuring tape 14 to and from the internal cavity 62 (

Thus, the invention provides, among other things, a tape measure and more specifically a tape measure with a guard member. Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to certain preferred embodiments, variations and modifications exist within the scope and spirit of one or more independent aspects of the invention as described.
