Disclosed is a measuring tape which comprises a housing, a reel received in the housing, and a blade wound on an outer surface of the reel and withdrawn or restored from an entrance of the housing, the measuring tape comprising: a finger recess formed through a bottom surface of the housing to expose a bottom surface of the blade; and a brake including a slide button exposed to the upper portion of the entrance, a brake plate slidely moving inside the housing depending on the movement of the slide button, and a brake port formed at an end of the brake plate to selectively press the upper surface of the blade, wherein the brake pork is positioned on the upper portion of the finger recess in a released state, and presses the upper surface of the blade by moving to the rear side of the finger recess in a locked state.

Disclosed is a measuring tape which includes a housing, a reel received in the housing, and a blade wound on an outer surface of the reel and withdrawn or restored from an entrance of the housing, wherein the housing includes a base which adheres to an outside by using a magnetic force, a first receiving groove providing at least a pair of first lower boundaries parallel to a first direction in which the blade is withdrawn and a second receiving groove providing at least a pair of second lower boundaries parallel with a second direction crossing the first direction are formed on a bottom of the base, and the base is able to be fixed in a two-axis direction with respect to a curved structure by using the first lower boundaries or the second lower boundaries.

A tape measure device for measuring pipes includes a spring return positioned in a housing. A tape is engaged to and is loopedly positioned around the spring return. The tape is selectively extensible from a front of the housing via a slot. A recess in a bottom of the housing extends from the front to a back and to proximate to the slot. A hook engaged to a second end of the tape can selectively engage a terminus of a substrate, enabling a user grasping the housing in a hand to extend the tape along the substrate. Indicia on the tape allow measurement of a distance from the second end of the tape. A fastener on the bottom of the housing can selectively engage the substrate to removably engage the housing to the substrate so that the user can release the housing.

A tape measure includes a spool, a housing defining an opening, where the spool is rotatably coupled to the housing, and a blade including a first end and a second end, where the first end is connected to the spool and the second end is movable through the opening between a retracted position and an extended position. The manually retractable tape measure further includes a cleaning assembly positioned within the housing adjacent the opening such that the cleaning assembly is in contact with the blade to push away debris from the blade as the blade moves between the retracted position and the extended position.

A plot measurement system which enables a user to singlehandedly mark boundaries and features of a sports field or construction site with improved accuracy. The system utilizes a plurality of vertex markers connected by measuring leaders to provide triangulation. A three-vertex marker system can be used to construct triangles, which can then be used to construct any n-sided shape. The concept is scalable and a four-vertex marker system is presented to quickly construct quadrangle plots such as an endzone. The disclosure presents mechanical and electrical systems.

A tape dispenser that includes a gripper pad and a tape reel. The tape reel includes a spool around which a tape is wound. The spool is enclosed in a housing that includes an opening through which a free end of the tape is allowed to pass through. The free end of the tape includes a fastener such as a hook. The housing also includes a tape lock and a roller handle. The gripper pad includes at least one suction pad, receiving means for a stake, or both. The tape reel and the gripper pad each include receiving means for a connecting means. The connecting means is a wedge connector, a magnetic connector, or the like, and combinations thereof. The tape reel is allowed to freely rotate while the gripper pad remains affixed onto a surface such as a floor, a lawn or a turf.
