Abstract

A distance measuring wheel device includes a base and a counter is arranged inside the base and laterally connected to the axle of a first gear. Two connection arms respectively extend from the base. The wheel is rotatably between the two connection arms. Each end of the axle of the wheel is rotatably connected with one end of each connection arm opposite to the base. A first chain gear is connected to the axle of the wheel corresponding to the first gear. A second gear is rotatably arranged at one side of the base and engaged with the first gear. A third gear is coaxially linked to the second gear. A fourth gear is engaged with the third gear. The second chain gear is coaxially linked to the fourth gear. The chain is surrounded and engaged with the first chain gear and the second chain gear.

Claims

1. A distance measuring wheel device comprising:

a base having a counter connected thereto and two connection arms respectively extending downward from two sides of the base;

a wheel rotatably connected between the two connection arms, an axle of the wheel pivotably connected to two respective distal ends of the two connection arms, and

a transmission unit connected to the counter and one of the two connection arms, and located away from the counter, the transmission unit further connected to the axle of the wheel, the counter being activated by a chain.

2. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission device includes a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, a fourth gear, a first chain gear, a second chain gear and the chain, the counter is radially connected to an axle of the first gear, the first chain gear is connected to the axle of the wheel, the second gear is located on one side of the base and engaged with the first gear, the third gear is co-axially connected to the second gear, the fourth gear is engaged with the third gear, the second chain gear is co-axially connected to the fourth gear, the chain is engaged between the first and second chain gears.

3. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 2, wherein an inner housing covers the first, second, third and fourth gears, the second chain gear and a portion of the chain that is engaged with the first chain gear.

4. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 3, wherein an outer housing is cooperated with the connection arm that is connected to the second chain gear to cover the inner housing, the first gear and the a portion of the chain that is exposed beyond the inner housing.

5. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 2, wherein an outer housing is cooperated with the connection arm that is connected to the second chain gear to cover the first, second, third and fourth gears, the first chain gear, the second chain gear and the chain.

6. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a stand is pivotably connected to one of the connection arms.

7. The distance measuring wheel device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an extension tube extends from the base and a handle is connected to a top of the extension tube.
