  • Patent number: 10429164
    Abstract: A tape measure structure is characterized in that an access opening of a housing assembly is configured with a flexible control element capable of being pressed to touch and stop a tape body movably installed inside the housing assembly, and a buffer for buffering the tape body is configured on one side of the flexible control element adjacent to the access opening. Whereby, the present invention can avoid the damage to the tape body, prevent the injury to users, and does not interfere hand feeling so as to make the operation convenient.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9329013
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a reel ruler structure that includes a casing, a push element pivotally installed therein with an edge extended outside, a compressing element pivotally positioned inside the casing, a linkage pivotally connected with both the push element and the compressing element for a linked movement, and an elastic element installed in between the push element and the casing so as to enable the compressing element to secure a ruler. A pressing to the push element will release the ruler for a short period of time and a relief to the push element will reset the compressing element and the push element by the elastic element. An enhancement of both convenience and safety in operating the reel ruler is thus achieved.

  • Patent number: 9303967
    Abstract: A structure of a tang of a roll-up tape measure includes a tang base and a tang plate formed at one side of the tang base. The tang base includes a plurality of tang coupling slots formed in one side thereof for coupling a measure ribbon and for positional adjustment of a reference point and also includes a tang hook formed at one end thereof. The tang hook includes a first hook section and a second hook section extending in opposite direction. The tang plate includes a receiving slot formed in one side thereof. The receiving slot receives and retains a magnetic element. The receiving slot includes, at one side thereof, at least one magnetic element for constraining and preventing the constraint stop from detachment.

  • Publication number: 20110017028
    Abstract: A bending structure of a hand tool includes a grip part. A bottom rim of an end of the grip part is formed with an actuating slot having an actuating rod. Side walls of an actuating part have respectively a wall pushing the actuating rod away from the actuating slot and a notch receiving the actuating rod in the actuating slot. By the aforementioned structures, a swiveling head can rotate freely or be fixed at a specific position by toggling a knob.

  • Publication number: 20090193940
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a jaw pipe wrench with resilient member comprising a wrench body penetrating through an actuating jaw, where a resilient member mounted and provides with one flat surface leans against said wrench body, so as to drive a serrated section of the wrench body firmly contacting with a serrated section of actuating jaw. While in manipulation, users initially propel the actuating jaw and synchronically compress the resilient member, the serrated section of the wrench body thus moves away from the serrated section of the actuating jaw, whereby users can freely raise or descend the actuating jaw in time of clamping, thus increasing the convenience of using.
