Abstract

In a scale constituted by a plurality of scale lines, to provide such a scale capable of easily reading scale values. In a scale main body having a predetermined size and a plurality of scale lines formed thereon, temporary numbers are put one by one from 0 in an ascending order on the respective scale lines formed at each scale value interval desirably determined, with the scale line defined as 0 in the scale value being set as a starting point, and display methods between the scale line with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number and the scale line with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number are made different.

Claims (15)

1. A scale, which is provided with a scale main body having a predetermined size and a plurality of scale lines formed thereon, comprising:

temporary numbers that are put one by one from 0 in an ascending order on the respective scale lines formed at each scale value interval desirably determined, with the scale line defined as 0 in the scale value being set as a starting point,

wherein display methods between scale numerals of the scale line with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number and the scale line with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number are made different.

2. The scale according to any one of claim 1 ,

wherein display methods between line widths of the scale line with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number and the scale line with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number are made different.

3. The scale according to any one of claim 1 ,

wherein marks having a desirable shape are put on the scale lines with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number, while no marks having a desirable shape are put on the scale lines with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number, so that display methods of the marks are made different.

4. The scale according to any one of claim 1 ,

wherein display methods between line widths of the scale line with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number and the scale line with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number are made different,

wherein marks having a desirable shape are put on the scale lines with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number, while no marks having a desirable shape are put on the scale lines with the numeral 1, 4, 6 or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number, so that display methods of the marks are made different.

5. A scale, which is provided with a scale main body having a predetermined size and a plurality of scale display points that show a plurality of scale positions and are formed thereon, comprising:

temporary numbers that are put one by one from 0 in an ascending order on the respective scale display points formed at each scale interval desirably determined, with the scale display points defined as 0 in the scale value being set as a starting point,

wherein display methods between scale numerals of the scale display point with the numeral 2, 3, 7 or 8 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number and the scale display point with the numeral 1, 4, 6, or 9 set at the lowermost position of the temporary number are made different.

6. The scale according to any one of claim 1 ,

wherein a cutout for erasing the intermediate portion of a scale line is formed on a predetermined scale line.
