  • Patent number: 12455155
    Abstract: A deployable stabilizer cooperates with a tape of a tape measure to stabilize the tape measure with the tape extended therefrom to facilitate hands free stability of the tape measure. The stabilizer may be pivotally coupled with a body of the tape measure to facilitate pivoting between a deployed and a stowed position. The stabilizer may comprise an extendable member that is guided by channels defined by tape measure body. Locations or orientations of pivot holes or channel guides may result in contact of the bottom of the tape in an extended position with a top of the stabilizer in a deployed position to facilitate stability of the tape measure body.

  • Publication number: 20100084528
    Abstract: A bent wire or molded plastic device pair, set or ganged assembly that attaches to an existing perforated panel (pegboard) in an upper and lower position allowing the addition of additional panel hung between the upper and lower placed devices. A pair would allow a single additional panel to be utilized. A set would consist of multiple pairs. A ganged device would be multiple devices assembled and fixed in a permanent manner allowing multiple panels to be added to a ganged set.
