Definitions
- My invention relates to improvements in measuring-tapes and cases therefor.
- One object of the invention is to provide the tape with feet denoting numerals at each of the inch graduations or marks, so that the measurement may be quickly read without looking back to the last preceding foot-mark.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in which the casing for the tape and its winding-drum form a part of the measuring mechanism, so that the device may be used in corners and other places where inside measurement is desired.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a measuring-tape and its casing constructed in accordance with my invention.
- Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, and
- Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.
- a flexible measuring-tape which may beconstructed of fabric, metal or any other suitable material and which has attached to one of its ends the usual loop or eye 2 and its other end secured to and wound of the tape and prevent the necessity of look- 5 ing back to the last preceding foot-mark to determine the distance from the free end of the tape to any particular inch-mark
- I provide at each of the inch-marks a numeral to indicate the number of feet, as will be readily seen upon reference to Fig. l-of the draw ings.
- the provision of the feet denoting numerals at each of the inch graduations or marks will greatly facilitate the reading of the tape, as will be readily understood.
- the casing 4 is substantially rectangular in form and has two of its sides 12 13 disposed in planes at ri ht angles to each other.
- an opening 14 through which the tape 1 passes, and in the side 13 is formed a recess 15, with which the fingers are engaged in holding the easing, as will be presently explained.
- the tape 1 also passes through a combined guide and indicator 16, which is in the form of a loop or bail, provided upon the side 12 of the casing adjacent to the opening 14.
- measurements are read from this indicator 16 and include the distance from the free end of the tape to the square end 17 of the casing, which is formed by the right-angularly-disposed sides 12 13, the disposition of the graduations upon the tape being such that the distance between the indicator 16 and the corner 17 is compensated for by shortening the free end of the tape, as will be readily seen upon reference to Fig. 1.
- - comprising a casing having two of its sides disposed in planes at right a les to each other, one of said sides being ormed with an opening and the other with a finger recess, a winding drum in said casing, a measuring tape wound upon said drum and passing throu h said opening a combined tapegulde an indicator upon said casing, and graduations upon said tape so disposed that the measurement read at said indlcator will include the distance from the outer end of said tape to the square end of substantially as described.
- a measuring tape having major graduations indicating feet, minor graduations be tween the major graduations and indicating inches, numerals disposed at said major graduations and indicating feet, other numerals disposed at said minor graduations and indicating inches, said first-named numerals increasing at thesuccessive major graduations and such last-named numerals increasing between each two adjacent major graduations, and other numerals disposed adjacent to the minor graduations, such last named numerals repeating the number of the preceding major graduations and being written distinctively with respect to such second named numerals.
