Abstract

A push-action compass is provided which overcomes drawbacks of conventional compasses by retracting its compass legs when not in use. The compass includes a body; a push-type telescopic assembly arranged on the body; first and second housings each connected to the body and configured to open and close relative to one another; and first and second compass legs, each sleeved by the respective housing and rotatably connected to the telescopic assembly. When the telescopic assembly is actuated, it switches between an extended state—where the tips of the compass legs protrude for use—and a retracted state—where the tips are housed within the housings to prevent accidental injury or damage.

Dependent claims

A push-action compass, comprising:

a main body;
a push-type telescopic assembly disposed on the main body;
a first housing and a second housing, each respectively connected to the body and configured to open and close relative to one another;
a first compass leg having an outer periphery received by the first housing;
and
a second compass leg having an outer periphery received by the second housing,
wherein the first and second compass legs are rotatably connected and coupled to the push-type telescopic assembly, and
wherein actuation of the push-type telescopic assembly causes it to switch between an extended state and a retracted state, thereby driving the first compass leg to reciprocate relative to the first housing and the second compass leg to reciprocate relative to the second housing, so that when the assembly is in the retracted state, a distal end of the first compass leg is fully retracted into the first housing, and a distal end of the second compass leg is fully retracted into the second housing.
