摘要： Exemplary embodiments of a “Smart Cut” system and method for efficiently and accurately converting material length using a powered saw, such as a miter saw, are disclosed. Certain embodiments are configured such that a user of a miter saw may position a board or other material beneath the miter saw blade, and cut the material to a desired length, without any need to mark a measurement on the material prior to cutting it. It is an advantage of certain embodiments that a typical retractable tape measurement device, a portable tool that is ubiquitous in the construction industry, may be leveraged to indicate proper positioning of the material prior to cutting.

摘要： A measuring tape device may include a housing having an aperture, a reel assembly enclosed within the housing, a blade formed from a metallic strip of material having a first end configured to extend from the housing through the aperture and a second end configured to be wound on the reel assembly, and an anti-rollover assembly disposed proximate to the aperture. The blade may be cupped to have a concave upper surface and a convex lower surface. The blade may have a first side and a second side that oppose each other relative to an apex of the concave upper surface and the convex lower surface. The anti-rollover assembly may be configured to enable an operator to selectively flatten the first side or the second side of the blade.

摘要： An electronic tape measure for measuring a body part includes a housing having a tape outlet opening, a tape drum rotatably mounted in the housing around an axis of rotation, and a tape having length markings attached with an inner end to the tape drum, windable thereon and extendable out of the tape outlet opening. The axis of rotation defines an axial, a radial and an azimuthal direction. Furthermore, the tape measure comprises the following modules: a read-out module adapted to read out the markings; a data processing module connected to the read-out module and adapted to provide a measuring instruction to the user and to process a readout length measurement; an input module connected to the data processing module and adapted to receive input from the user; and a display module connected to the data processing module and adapted to display the measurement instruction and arranged on the housing in a radial-azimuthal plane, wherein the display module comprises a screen.

摘要： An electrical color chart tape measure apparatus for viewing a color code chart while measuring conduit includes a tape having a housing front side with a blade aperture extending therethrough adjacent the housing bottom side. A tape blade is coupled within the tape housing and is slidably extendable and retractable through the blade aperture. The tape blade has a blade top side with a plurality of hash markings and a plurality of corresponding numerical inch measurement markings. A claw is coupled to a distal end of the tape blade. A plurality of color indicators is coupled to the tape blade between the plurality of numerical inch measurement markings. A color chart is coupled to the tape housing and has a low voltage color key and a high voltage color key corresponding with the plurality of color indicators.

摘要： The present invention relates to a measurement apparatus designed to fit on the end of a measuring tape for measuring the length of an elongated member having a beveled cut end. The measurement apparatus may have a first receptacle for measuring from an acute point of the beveled cut end. The measurement apparatus may have a second receptacle for measuring from an obtuse point of the beveled cut end. The second receptacle may be offset from the first receptacle by an offset distance in a lengthwise direction. The measurement apparatus may include a tape channel positioned between the first and second receptacles. The measurement apparatus may include a longitudinally adjustable hinge and a latch. The longitudinally adjustable hinge and the latch may be used to secure the measuring tape in the tape channel. The longitudinally adjustable hinge may also be used to adjust the offset distance.

摘要： A measuring assembly for a measuring tape device may include a blade, an end hook and an anti-rollover attachment. The blade may include a first end configured to extend from an aperture in a housing of the measuring tape device and a second end configured to be wound on a reel assembly. The end hook may be disposed at the first end of the blade to engage an object for measurement, and may extend substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal centerline of the blade to extend away from an underside of the blade. The anti-rollover attachment may be disposed proximate to the end hook at the first end of the blade such that a center of gravity of the anti-rollover attachment is spaced apart from the underside of the blade. A combined weight of the end hook and the anti-rollover attachment may be in a range between about 10 grams and about 55 grams.
