Description

FIG. 1 is a segmented front view of a gauging tapeline showing my new design; and,

FIG. 2 is an additional front view.

The dotted broken lines are environmental and form no part of the claimed design. The dashed broken lines represent the bounds of the claimed design. The pairs of spaced jagged broken lines in the drawings form no part of the claimed design, and the portions between such pairs of jagged broken lines are broken away to disclose indeterminate length. The materials that may be visible between the jagged lines have been removed for clarity.

The portion of the gauging tapeline shown in gray and black line shading represents a color contrast.

Claims

The ornamental design for a gauging tapeline, as shown and described.
