Multi-Functional Measurement Device

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a measuring

5 device, but more particularly to a multi-
functional measuring device having a try
square, compass and a caliper mechanism.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Measuring device is a used to measure

10 accuracy and precision of a certain object.
Some of the people had difficulties in
measuring and drafting figures, especially
chords and circles. Some conventional measuring
and drafting device such as US2003154608A1
15 Multi-function drafting device, has a
protractor, compass and ruler. The instrument
has a build in protractor for measuring and
drawing angles and multiple rulers for
measuring distance and drawing straight lines.
20 The preferred embodiment of the instrument is
two-piece with an arm shaped main ruler and a
single slide-ruler that freely slides in and
out of the main-ruler. A place ring with
thumbscrew is attached to the slide-ruler to
25 hold a writing tool.

However, the disadvantage of this

instrument cannot square simultaneously due to
the built-in protractor at the upper portion of
the ruler, and the thumbscrew attach as locking
30 screw of the writing tool is not as strong

1
 capacity to hold a writing tool with a smooth
body texture.

Another conventional measuring and

drafting device CN208108947 Angular Instrument
5 for Mathematical Education also had
disadvantages. The said instrument focus on
measuring angles. It cannot draw circles and
chords with a desired measurement, and the
ruler cannot square simultaneously because of
10 the compass attach at the ruler.

In addition, CN202910856U High-precision

plane scribing compass is characterized in that
each caliper claw of a vernier caliper is
provided with a connecting sleeve and a
15 scribing needle. The connecting sleeves are in
a square tube shape. A fastening bolt is
arranged on the tube wall of each square tube.
A round-bar type locating handle is fixed at
the center of the upper portion of each
20 scribing needle. The locating handle of the
scribing needle and the caliper claws of the
vernier caliper are simultaneously inserted
into the square tubes of the connecting
sleeves, and then tightened through the
25 fastening bolts. Furthermore, since the
instrument has a detachable sleeve tightened by
a fastening bolts but cannot use any writing
tool for marking.

Accordingly, the above disadvantages will

30 overcome through this present invention, having
a L-shape body provide with a main scale plate

2
 with graduations formed along the longitudinal
direction of the horizontal leg as well as
along the latitude direction of the vertical
leg, a slider assembly with graduation formed
5 at the front of the slider body, a mechanical
clamp at the back thereof, a locking screw that
helps to stabilized the said slider assembly,
and a second inner diameter measuring jaw at
the upper portion of the slider body.

10 The present invention whereas it can check

squareness of two surfaces when the said slider
assembly where detach to the horizontal leg,
and flip to compartment the first inner
diameter measuring jaw then formed a L-shaped.

15 Furthermore, the present invention has a

needle pointer located at the bottom of the
vertical leg and a mechanical clamp provided at
the back of the said slider body, as the slider
assembly moves along the horizontal leg in
20 which it has a compass mechanism, whereas it
can draft circles and chords with its desired
measurements. It can be used with two hands or
one hand depending on the comfortability.

The purpose of the invention is to provide

25 a multi-measuring device that can measure
chords and circles, at the same time it can
rule and square simultaneously. Also, the
present invention will lessen the burden of
buying more equipment for measuring and
30 drafting.
