Abstract
A tape measure assembly and mount system may include a housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly spooled within. An assembly may include the housing assembly having an interface in electronic communication with a controller within the enclosure. An assembly may include the controller having at least one mode selected from a group consisting of a tape/blade distance mode, and an implement distance mode. A mount system may include a first mount and a second mount selectively connected to one another, which may be configured to selectively mount to a power tool and more particularly, may attach to a fence of a power tool.
Claims19
A tape measure assembly comprising:
- a housing assembly having a front, a rear, a top, a bottom, a first side having a blade opening, and a second side, wherein a slanted portion having a display is positioned on the front of the housing assembly and angles rearwardly and upwardly towards the top and the rear and of the housing assembly;
- the housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly spooled within;
- and
- the housing assembly having an interface in electronic communication with a controller within the enclosure.
A tape measure assembly comprising:
- a housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly spooled within;
- and
- a mount assembly connected to a rear of the housing assembly and having a first mount connected to and extending outwardly from the rear of the housing assembly;
- the first mount slidably connected to a second mount such that a position of the first mount and the second mount can be adjusted vertically;
- and
- the first mount positioned between the housing assembly and the second mount.
A tape measure assembly comprising:
- a housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly having a blade spooled within;
- and
- the housing assembly having an interface in electronic communication with a controller within the enclosure;
- and
- the controller having a tape/blade distance mode wherein the controller is configured to sense a distance between a tang attached to the blade and a side of the housing assembly opposite of a blade opening, and an implement distance mode wherein the controller is configured to sense a distance between the tang and an implement of a power tool, a blade distance mode wherein the controller is configured to sense a distance of a blade of the tape assembly, a midpoint distance mode, a conversion mode, a save mode, a locked mode, and a power mode.
A tape measure assembly comprising:
- a housing assembly having an enclosure with a tape assembly having a blade spooled within;
- and;
- the blade extends between an outward end and an inward end;
- a tang connected to the outward end of the blade, wherein the tang extends downwardly from the blade and below a bottom of the housing assembly;
- wherein the bottom of the housing assembly is configured to engage a material during a cut and the tang is configured to an end of the material.
