  • Publication number: 20030029955
    Abstract: A dual mode tape rule blade arrestor structure that provides for an effective increase in tape rule rewind buffering to prevent excessive blade retrieval speeds that generate high impact sheering forces. The arrestor button of the present invention is pressed upward to temporarily halt tape rule rewinding, but can at the same time also be pressed downward and locked into the full constraint position. As such, the improved structure of the invention herein enhances tape rule service life as well as operating safety.

  • Patent number: 6464160
    Abstract: A tape measure having a quick rewinding mechanism. The mechanism includes a gear assembly having a first drive gear, a second drive gear, and an idler gear set having first, second, third, and fourth idler gears each meshed with the first drive gear, wherein the idler gears are equally spaced around the first drive gear for uniformly distributing a generated force to the idler gears while rewinding the tape measure device.

  • Publication number: 20020095805
    Abstract: A tape rule blade having graduations in an eye-catching third color, wherein the numerals of the graduations on the tape rule blade are in numeric characters of a first color, numeric characters of a second color, and numeric characters of the eye-catching third color to facilitate the visual separation of adjacent numeric characters. At the same time, the alerting effect also afforded prevents sighting errors and reading inaccuracies, with the tape rule blade thereby having even more practical value through an innovative design.

  • Patent number: 6405451
    Abstract: A tape measure. The tape measure includes a lock device at a bottom opening, an engagement device, and an abutment device. To pull or rewind tape, the front end of control device is pressed to cause both the lock device and the engagement device to pivot upwards, thus allowing tape to be pulled or rewound freely. When the lock device is released, this causes both the lock device and engagement device to pivot in a reverse direction for locking tape. The locking/unlocking of tape is effected in an up-and-down movement of the front end of the lock device.
