Abstract
A measuring tool has a slider () supported to a body frame () and a feeding mechanism () for moving the slider in axial direction. The feeding mechanism includes: an outer roller () rotatably supported to the body frame (); a forward feed roller () disposed between the outer roller () and the slider () at a position closer to a forward side of the slider () relative to the outer roller (); a reverse feed roller () disposed at a position on a reverse side; a roller holder () supporting these feed rollers to allow them to move along the circumference around the axis of the outer roller; a first leaf spring () that biases these feed rollers toward the slider side; and a power transmitter () connecting the outer roller () to these feed rollers to transmit the rotation of the outer roller to the feed rollers.
