Patent number: 6272764Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tape rule comprising a housing 1, a measuring tape (abbreviated as tape only) 2, a reel 3 for the tape 2 to wind around, a spring 4 for winding the tape 2 back to the reel 3, an arc shaped strap 12 disposed at the periphery of the reel 3 to be freely slidable therearound, a stopper 11 including a push button 13 exposed outside of the housing 1, and a claw 14 for locking the tape 2 pulled out of the housing 1 at an end to of the stopper 11. Furthermore, a brake shoe 15 is integrally formed at the inner surface of the arc shaped strap 12 of the stopper 11 for releasing the locking state made by the claw 14 so that when the tape 2 is automatically winding back around the reel 3 by a resilient force of the spring 4. The tape 2 may be made in contact with the edge of the reel 3 to reduce its retracting speed through pushing the push button 13 towards the radius center of the reel 3.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Index Measuring Tape Co., Ltd.Inventor: Henry Lin

Patent number: 6167635Abstract: A pushing suspending device of a measuring tape has a housing, a rule and a suspending device, with the rule curled within the housing, and protecting disk covers installed on the two sides of the rule. The suspending device includes a contacting pressing piece and a suspending switch. One end of the contacting pressing piece is embedded within the housing, and another end of which is formed with a cambered contacting plate. A pushing key is projected upwards from the center of the plate. An opening is located on the lower end of the housing to accommodate the suspending switch. The front end of suspending switch has a through hole for the rule, while the two sides have resisting portions for resisting against the protecting disk covers. When the rule is pulled, if the suspending switch is pushed, then the movement of the rule may be suspended effectively.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1998Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: Index Measuring Tape Co., Ltd.Inventor: Henry Lin

Patent number: 6161299Abstract: A plate shaped rapid brake device for a tape rule accommodated in the tape housing with a brake block protruding towards an upper edge of a tape outlet, at one end, with a pivot axis laid transversely at the other end. A projected block protruded in an opposite direction to the brake block, is formed near the brake block. The pivot axis is inserted into holes in inner walls of both sides of the tape housing, and both the projected block and the brake block are respectively exposed out of a hole provided at the bottom portion of the tape housing so that the tape may slightly touch the projected block during its extending and rewinding motion. Moving the brake block towards the upper edge of the tape outlet and reducing size of the tape outlet rapidly clamps the moving tape and stops its movement. There are two balancers extending outwardly from opposite sides of the brake block for a balancing brake function of the brake device when the brake block moves by preventing the brake device from swinging.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1998Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Index Measuring Tape Co., Ltd.Inventor: Henry Lin
