Abstract

PURPOSE:To Prevent erroneous or unclear description on a dimensional list, and to shorten the preparation time. CONSTITUTION:A transmitter 1 incorporates a band-like measure which is retractable thereinto on which scale data are stored. In order to measure 7 dimensions of an object (person or article) to be measured, a measure 3 pulled out from a casing, is measured by a scale measuring part 5 from the scale data, stored in a register 5a, and thus stored data is indicated on display unit 6. When a return signal switch 8 is depressed, data in the register 5 are aero- transmitted from a transmitting part 7 to a measure signal receiving and recording part 2. The signal is received by a signal receiving part 9, and is stored in a register 9a from which a CPU 12 receives data, and writes the same in a RAM 14, and is indicated on a display unit. After the completion of the measurement of dimensions, the operator confirms the data on the display unit 16, and thereafter, manipulates a keyboard, causing a printer 17 prints the data on a dimensional list. Further, data from a RAM 14 is transferred to an automatic cutter 18.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Reference numeral 1 is a transmitter with a measure (hereinafter simply referred to as a transmitter), and 2 is a measure signal receiving / recording device (hereinafter simply referred to as a receiver). The measure 3 of the transmitter 1 is a belt-like member that is housed in a case 4 so as to be able to move back and forth, and has graduation information recorded along its length direction.

To measure the size of the object to be measured, measure 3
When pulling out from the case 4, the scale measuring unit 5 measures the length (drawing length) from the reference position (origin) 3a of the measure 3 to the currently pulled out position from the scale information given to the measure 3, The measured data is stored in the register 5
The data is recorded in a and the recorded data is displayed on the display 6 using, for example, a liquid crystal. If the measure 3 is returned to the case by a certain length, the new withdrawal length after the return is measured, the register 5a is updated with the data, and the updated data is displayed on the display unit 6. When the operator presses the transmission switch 8 after measuring the dimensions, the transmission unit 7 takes in the data in the register 5a, modulates the carrier wave with the data, and transmits the data to the outside (claim 1).

The most common measure 3 is a bar (scale) displayed, for example, in the unit of mm along the length direction. In that case, the scale measuring unit 5 causes the origin 3a of the pulled-out measure 3a. The pull-out length is measured by optically counting the number of the bars from (1), that is, the number of the bars moved in the forward direction (claim 2). If the measure is returned, the number of bars returned, that is, moved in the reverse direction, is counted and subtracted from the number of measurements in the forward direction.

Instead of displaying a bar (scale) on the measure 3, as shown in FIG. 2B, the length from the reference position 3a is converted into code data such as a binary code and, for example, white dots and black dots are used. It is also possible to use one that is developed in the width direction of the measure and displayed along the length direction of the measure. In that case, the scale measuring unit 5 optically reads the code data similarly to the bar code reader, decodes the read data, and registers it in the register 5a.
And display on the display 6 (Claim 3).

As still another method, a magnetic tape is attached along the measure 3, and the length information from the origin of the measure is written on the magnetic tape, or a magnetic tape on which the length information is written in advance is measured. Alternatively, a magnetic head may be provided on the scale measuring unit 5c to read the length information recorded on the magnetic tape at the pulled-out position (claim 4).

Next, the major signal receiving / recording device 2 will be described. The signal with the dimension data transmitted from the transmitter 7 of the transmitter with measure 1 is received and detected by the receiver 9 and written in the built-in register 9a. A CPU (central processing unit) 12 of a microcomputer (microcomputer) 10 fetches the data of a register 9a into a RAM (random read / write memory) 14 through an I / O (input / output interface) 11 and displays the fetched dimension data. 16 is displayed. The operator of the transmitter 1 with a measure, that is, a person in charge of taking a dimension, checks the dimension data displayed on the display 16 when the dimension measurement of the object to be measured is completed, and then the keyboard 15 for causing the printer to print the dimension. If a predetermined button is pressed, the CPU 12 transfers the corresponding data written in the RAM 14 to the printer 17 and prints it on the size sheet based on the information (claims 7 and 8).

The microcomputer 10 is provided with a ROM (read only memory) 13 storing a system program,
The CPU 12 decodes and executes the program to control the operation of each unit. Operate the keyboard 15 to move the RAM 14
It is also possible to transfer the dimensional data written for each individual to the automatic cutting machine 18. Microcomputer 10, keyboard 15
And the display 16 is a personal computer (personal computer)
Of course, it may be a constituent element of.

The signal between the transmitter 7 and the receiver 9 includes
Light, ultrasonic waves, radio waves, etc. can be used, but the use of radio waves allows the signal to be radiated relatively uniformly over the surrounding area, so the operator does not need to measure the directivity of the transmitter with a measure. This is a preferable method (claims 5 and 9).

[0013]

According to the present invention, the data dimensioned by the transmitter 1 with a measure is recorded in the memory of the measure signal receiving / recording device 2 and can be printed on the size sheet by the printer 17. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate erroneous writing and unclear writing on the dimension sheet as in the conventional case, and it is possible to shorten the time for taking the dimension and creating the dimension sheet.

Further, since the dimension data of each measuring body recorded in the memory can be transferred to the automatic cutting machine, the dimension data can be input to the automatic cutting machine by operating the keyboard. However, erroneous input can be prevented and the time and effort required for inputting can be reduced, which greatly contributes to labor saving.
