[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an equally-spaced ruler which can draw parallel lines at equal intervals, and enables simple drawing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a plurality of parallel oblique lines such as ruled lines or a plurality of parallel oblique lines such as hatching lines are drawn, a ruler is placed on paper or the like, and the scale of the ruler is marked. While reading, marks were previously formed at regular intervals with a writing instrument or the like, and a parallel rule was drawn by applying a ruler to the marks.

[0003] However, if it is attempted to attach marks at regular intervals while reading the fine graduations of the ruler, the graduations will be read incorrectly, resulting in irregular intervals. Also, if the interval between parallel lines to be drawn requires a fractional dimension of 1 mm or less, draw evenly spaced parallel lines because it cannot be read only with the ruler scale and depends on the intuition of the operator. Is difficult.
Also, after the drawing was completed, it was necessary to remove the mark. In addition, when an inclined parallel line is drawn, it is necessary to calculate the interval between marks in advance, which is troublesome.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, and is intended to draw parallel lines at equal intervals in a horizontal direction, a vertical direction, an inclined direction, and the like. It is not necessary to read a fine scale such as a ruler, calculate in advance, or rely on an operator's intuition, thereby making it possible to make accurate and simple drawing without having to make a mark.

[0009]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
If you draw parallel lines at equal intervals, the parallel lines will be horizontal, vertical,
Although an oblique line may be used, in one example, in order to draw a parallel horizontal line, first, the ruler main body is placed on paper or the like in a direction intersecting the horizontal line to be drawn.

[0010] The interval between the horizontal lines to be drawn is determined by positioning or inclining the ruler body at right angles to the parallel line.
Select arbitrarily. In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body is positioned in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the parallel lines, the interval between the parallel lines to be drawn is the maximum size equal to the actual size between the marks. . Also, if the ruler body is tilted, the interval between parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks.

Next, one side of another ruler body, such as another ruler body or a T ruler, which is positioned in the length direction in the horizontal direction, is positioned on the mark of the ruler body, and a parallel penetrating the mark with a writing instrument. Draw a horizontal line.

In the above description, parallel horizontal lines are drawn. Next, in order to draw a parallel vertical line, first, the ruler main body is placed on paper or the like in a direction crossing the vertical line to be drawn.

The interval between the vertical lines to be drawn is arbitrarily selected by positioning or tilting the ruler body at right angles to the parallel line. In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body is located in the horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the parallel lines, the interval between the parallel lines to be drawn is the maximum size equal to the actual size between the marks. . Also, if the ruler body is tilted, the interval between parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks.

Next, one side of another ruler body, such as another ruler body or a T ruler, which is positioned in the longitudinal direction in the longitudinal direction, is positioned on the mark of the ruler body, and a parallel penetrating the mark with a writing instrument. Draw a vertical line.

In the above description, parallel horizontal lines and vertical lines are drawn. Next, in order to draw parallel oblique lines, first, the ruler main body is placed on paper or the like in a direction intersecting the oblique lines to be drawn.

The distance between the oblique lines to be drawn is determined by positioning or inclining the ruler body at right angles to the parallel line.
Select arbitrarily. In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body is positioned at an angle and is perpendicular to the parallel lines, the interval between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes the maximum size equal to the actual size between the marks. . If the ruler body is tilted to one of the angles perpendicular to the parallel lines, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks.

Next, on a mark of the ruler body, one side of another ruler body or another type of ruler which is positioned at an angle in the longitudinal direction is positioned, and a parallel oblique line passing through the mark is drawn with a writing instrument.

As described above, since the ruler body has a plurality of marks formed at equal intervals in the length direction, the operator can draw a ruler or the like when drawing parallel lines as in the conventional method. It is not necessary to read a fine scale, calculate in advance, or make a mark depending on the intuition of the operator. Therefore, simple and accurate drawing can be performed. Further, unlike the conventional method, since the marking indicating the position through which the parallel line passes is not performed in advance, it is not necessary to remove the mark after the drawing, and the parallel line can be quickly drawn.

The ruler body is provided with a plurality of inclined lines on the surface thereof, which are inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ruler body.
The inclination angles of the plurality of inclined lines are different from each other, and a parallel line passing through a position corresponding to the mark parallel to one of the inclined lines or a position perpendicular to one of the inclined lines and corresponding to the mark. When a parallel line passing through is drawn, a display unit for displaying the interval between the parallel lines and the angle of the inclined line is formed near the inclined line. Since formed in this way, when the ruler body is positioned in the horizontal direction, vertical direction, and inclined direction,
The relationship between the interval between the marks and the inclination angle can be identified at a glance, and the interval between the parallel lines can be easily selected from the ruler body.

Further, since the ruler body is formed of a magnet or a magnetically adhered material, the ruler body can be magnetically attached to a drawing board having a built-in magnet. For this reason, even if the ruler body is placed on an inclined drafting board or the ruler body is separated from the operator's hand, the ruler body is stably magnetically attached to the drafting board. That is, the workability of the worker can be improved.

Further, if the mark is formed by a concave portion or a convex portion, the discriminating property is improved by forming a three-dimensional mark, and a parallel line drawing operation can be easily performed.

Further, if the mark is formed by a small hole, the discriminability of the mark is further improved, and it is possible to easily draw the mark. In addition, although not necessarily a method that does not require the writing of a mark, if the tip of a writing instrument is inserted into the small hole of the mark, it becomes possible to accurately write the mark where the small hole is located on the surface of paper or the like. Even a worker other than the worker can draw a simple parallel line.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (1) A ruler body is a drawing board formed of a thin foil made of a magnetically adhered material such as ferritic or austenitic stainless steel and having a magnet built in. Can be magnetically fixed. Further, the ruler body (1) can be made of foil-like plastic, non-ferrous metal or the like.

The ruler body (1) is provided with a plurality of marks (3) formed by small holes into which the tip of the writing instrument (2) can be inserted at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. . This landmark
(3) The dimension between them may be formed at an appropriate interval. However, if this dimension is formed at an interval of 1 mm, 5 mm or 10 mm, it becomes easy to study the drawing interval, which is convenient.

The ruler body (1) has a plurality of inclined lines (4) inclined on the longitudinal axis on the surface. The inclined lines (4) pass through any one of the marks (3), and are provided so that the inclined angles are different from each other at a good angle of division.

The ruler body (1) is positioned above the one end of the inclined line (4) when the inclined line (4) is positioned in the horizontal direction.
An angle display section (5) in the horizontal direction for displaying the inclination angle of (1) is provided. The ruler body (1) is positioned below the one end of the inclined line (4) when the inclined line (4) is positioned in the vertical direction.
A vertical angle display section (6) for displaying the inclination angle of (1) is formed.

The ruler main body (1) has a dimension display section for displaying a space between the parallel lines when a parallel line passing on a mark (3) parallel or perpendicular to one of the inclined lines (4) is drawn. (7)
(8) is formed near the inclined line (4).

Then, the ruler main body (1) positions the dimension display portion (7) in the horizontal direction when the inclined line (4) is positioned in the horizontal direction above the other end of the inclined line (4). Further, the dimension display section (8) in the vertical direction when the inclined line (4) is positioned in the vertical direction is located below the other end of the inclined line (4).

When the ruler body (1) is formed in this manner, the mark is provided when the ruler body (1) is positioned in the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, or the inclined direction.
The relationship between the interval between (3) and the inclination angle can be identified at a glance, and the interval between parallel lines can be easily selected from the ruler body (1).

Further, since the inclined line (4) forms the inclined angle at a good angle, the interval between the parallel lines calculated from the inclined angle produces a fraction. The dimension display units (7) and (8) for displaying dimensions display approximate values for convenience.

Since the ruler body (1) is formed of a metal material such as stainless steel as described above, the mark (3), the inclined line (4), the angle display sections (5) and (6), and the dimension display section The display methods (7) and (8) are formed by means such as stamping, etching, marking, and laser processing.

In the above configuration, when parallel lines are drawn at equal intervals, the parallel lines may be any of horizontal lines, vertical lines, and diagonal lines. In one example, the parallel lines are marked (10). The method for drawing parallel horizontal lines will now be described.

In order to make the mark (10), first spread the paper (9) on the drawing board, and draw the ruler body (1) on the paper (9) as shown in FIG. Is placed in a direction that intersects the horizontal line that is to be used. Then, the interval between the horizontal lines to be drawn is selected from the horizontal dimension display units (7) and (8) displayed beside the inclined line (4), and the inclined lines displaying the dimension display units (7) and (8) are selected. (4) is performed in the horizontal or vertical direction as shown in FIG.

In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body (1) is positioned in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the parallel lines, the interval between the parallel lines to be drawn is the distance between the marks (3). The maximum dimension is equal to the actual dimension of If the ruler body (1) is tilted, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks (3).

Further, since the ruler body (1) is made of a magnetic material, it can be magnetically attached to a drawing board having a built-in magnet. Therefore, even if the ruler body (1) is placed on the inclined drafting board, it is magnetically fixed to the drafting board stably and does not drop to the floor or the like.

Next, a writing instrument is placed on the mark (3) of the ruler body (1).
The tip of (2) is inserted, and marks (10) corresponding to the marks (3) are written at regular intervals on the surface of the paper (9).

Then, on this mark (10), one side of another ruler body (1) or another type of ruler (11) located in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. Using the writing implement (2), draw a parallel horizontal line passing through the mark (10) corresponding to the mark (3).

In this manner, the writing implement (2) is inserted into the small hole of the mark (3).
If the mark (10) corresponding to the mark (3) is put on the surface of the paper (9) or the like by inserting the tip of
Simple parallel lines can be drawn.

In the above description, parallel horizontal lines are drawn. Next, in order to draw parallel vertical lines, similarly to the above, the interval between the vertical lines to be drawn is determined from the vertical dimension display sections (7) and (8) displayed beside the inclined line (4). This is performed by positioning the inclined line (4) on which the dimension display sections (7) and (8) are displayed in the horizontal or vertical direction.

In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body (1) is located in the horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the parallel lines, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes the distance between the marks (3). The maximum dimension is equal to the actual dimension of If the ruler body (1) is tilted, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks (3).

Then, similarly to the above, another ruler body (1) or a ruler of another type such as a T ruler or the like which is positioned in the longitudinal direction on the mark (10) corresponding to the mark (3). 11) On one side, draw a parallel vertical line passing through the mark (10) with the writing implement (2).

In the above description, parallel horizontal and vertical lines are drawn. Next, in order to draw parallel oblique lines, similarly to the above, the distance between the oblique lines to be drawn is set by the horizontal and vertical dimension display sections (7) (8) displayed beside the oblique line (4). The direction of the oblique line (4) on which the dimension display sections (7) and (8) are displayed is made to coincide with the direction of the oblique line.

In this case, if the length direction of the ruler body (1) is inclined and positioned perpendicular to the parallel lines, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes equal to the distance between the marks (3). The maximum dimension is equal to the actual dimension of If the ruler body (1) is tilted, the distance between the parallel lines to be drawn becomes smaller than the actual size between the marks (3).

Then, similarly to the above, one side of another ruler body (1) or another type of ruler (11) such as a T ruler located in the longitudinal direction is positioned on the mark (10), Mark with (2) (1
Draw a parallel diagonal line passing through 0).

As described above, since the ruler body (1) has a plurality of marks (3) formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, when an operator intends to draw a parallel line at regular intervals, Unlike the conventional method, there is no need to read a fine scale such as a ruler, calculate in advance, or make a mark depending on the intuition of the operator. Therefore, simple and accurate drawing can be performed.

In the above description, the writing implement is inserted in the small hole of the mark (3).
The tip of (2) was inserted to mark (10) corresponding to mark (3). However, in another embodiment, it is also possible to draw a line by placing one side of the ruler (11) or the like on the mark (3) without making the mark (10) with the writing instrument (2). By doing so, since the marking (10) is not performed, there is no need to remove the mark (10) after the drawing, and a quick parallel line drawing operation can be performed.

In the above embodiment, the ruler body (1) is
The inclination angle of the inclination line (4) was set to a good angle.
However, in a different embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the ruler main body (1) is provided with the mark (3) in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction in a size that can be easily separated. The dimension display sections (7) and (8) are easy to read without fractions.

When formed in this manner, the inclination angle of the inclination line (4) produces a fraction, and although the angle display section (5) is indicated by an approximate value, the dimension display section (7) has a well-divided interval. This makes it easy to draw parallel lines at widely used intervals.

If the mark (3) is formed by a concave portion or a convex portion as shown in FIG. 5, even if the mark (3) is rubbed with a drawing board or another ruler (11), the three-dimensional mark (3) is formed. Thus, the discriminability can be maintained, and the work of drawing parallel lines can be easily performed.
