TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention holds calipers,
A thin caliper case to be stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when storing and carrying calipers, no special storage means has been used, and the calipers are exclusively stored in a cloth or vinyl bag having a size capable of fitting the calipers, Such storage and carrying were carried out.

[0003]

The calipers, however, are
A claw-shaped jaw and a beak for sandwiching the object to be measured are provided on the slider and the main scale, respectively. Therefore, when the caliper is stored together with various tools in a tool box, bag, etc., the jaws interfere with other tools and are caught, so that it can be stored in the tool box etc. well. In many cases, it is difficult to do so, and other tools or the like may be damaged due to such interference, or part of the calipers such as the jaws may be damaged.

Further, even when calipers are stored in the bag body or the like and stored in a tool box or the like, it is often the case that the jaw or the like hits a part of the bag body or the like and the part thereof is projected. Therefore, the projecting portion interferes with the tool or the like.

Further, since the bag body or the like generally does not have a shape-retaining force or a cushioning function, the caliper stored in the bag body or the like is put in a tool box or the like for storage, carrying, or the bag body or the like. When carrying the caliper in a stored state, if the bag or the like comes into contact with another article, the joie or the like part of the caliper may hit the article or the like strongly, and part of the caliper or the article. It may cause damage such as.

Of course, if the caliper is housed in a cylinder or box having a shape-retaining force, it is possible to prevent the caliper from being damaged due to buffering with other articles, but it is simple. When the calipers are stored in these cylindrical bodies or the like, not only the storage space for the volume of the cylindrical bodies is required but also the calipers are difficult to be stored in the cylindrical bodies without rattling.

[0007] In addition, for practical convenience, such as being convenient for instantly taking notes such as measurement results using calipers, calipers can be sandwiched between a notebook and each leaf of a notebook, a notebook, etc. In some cases, some calipers are stored and carried by inserting a part of the caliper into a pocket or the like provided on the inside of the cover.
Since the caliper is only held by being sandwiched in a notebook or the like, there is an inconvenience that the caliper slips out of the notebook or the like and is lost when carrying the notebook or the like.

In view of the above, the present invention does not cause the caliper to be securely stored and held when the caliper is stored or carried, thereby causing no interference between the caliper and other articles.
The main purpose is to provide a caliper case that can be made compact.
