Abstract

A measurement tool for circumference includes at least one disk with a circumference thereof provided with a through hole; a straightedge provided with a fixed post and a plurality of scales, and the fixed post penetrates through the through hole to fix the disk to the fixed post; and a hitching line with one end thereof penetrated by the fixed post, and the other end of the hitching line surrounds the disk or straightens along the straightedge. Thus, a string makes a circle around the circumference, whereby the string is marked an index corresponding to the fixed post, and then the string straightens along the straightedge, and a length of the circumference of the disk is obtained according to relative positions of the scales and the index.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A measurement tool for circumference comprising:
at least one disk with a circumference thereof provided with a through hole;
a straightedge provided with a fixed post and a plurality of scales, and said fixed post penetrates through said through hole to fix said at least one disk to said fixed post; and
a hitching line with one end thereof penetrated by said fixed post, and another end of said hitching line surrounds said at least one disk or straightens along said straightedge;
wherein said at least one disk comprises a plurality of disks arranged on said fixed post, each of the plurality of disks has a diameter, and the diameters of said plurality of disks are sequentially reduced from bottom to top, and one of said plurality of disks with the largest diameter is arranged in a bottom.

2. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 1 , wherein said fixed post is arranged at said scale of said straightedge which is 0.

3. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 1 , wherein the one of said plurality of disks with the largest diameter, said straightedge and said fixed post are integrally formed as a piece.

4. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 3 , wherein a thickness of said one of said plurality of disks with the largest diameter is larger than a thickness of said straightedge, and said hitching line uses said fixed post to surround said one of said plurality of disks with the largest diameter.

5. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 1 , wherein said through hole is an arc recess.

6. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 1 , wherein said hitching line has a string and a loop arranged at one end of said string, and said loop hitches said fixed post.

7. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 6 , wherein a length of said string is larger than a length of said circumference of said at least one disk.

8. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 1 , wherein a length of said straightedge is larger than said length of said circumference of said at least one disk.

9. The measurement tool for circumference according to claim 6 , wherein said string makes a circle around said circumference of said at least one disk, and said string is marked an index whose position corresponds to a position of said fixed post, and then said string straightens along said straightedge, and said length of said circumference of said at least one disk is obtained according to relative positions of said scales and said index.
