The present invention relates generally to the field of measuring tool. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive measuring tape that has a bottom surface and a top surface. The bottom surface has an adhesive coating, while the top surface has a plurality of indicia such as at least one of a metric measurement, an imperial measurement, and a customizable measurement. In one embodiment, the invention includes a dispenser having an interior space, with at least one spool, at least one spring, at least one button, and at least one opening. The dispenser has at least one tear bar and at least one hinge.

A finishing tape is disclosed for use in positioning fasteners for securing building elements. The finishing tape further provides masking for immediate coating of the fastener or plug after installation. The finishing tape is formed from a flexible substrate having pressure-sensitive adhesive attached to a back side for adhesion to building construction materials and indicia imprinted on a top side. Apertures are equidistantly spaced along the length of the substrate with gun tip markings on each side of the apertures to provide a visual indication where to position the gun tip for inserting a screw or nail fastener. The indicia serve as visual templates for establishing proper location for fastener placement for attachment of a construction member, wherein said finishing tape provides proper and symmetrical fastener placement.

A fishing rod ruler including an elongate flexible body with a number of length markings provided thereon, the elongate flexible body to be at least temporarily applied to a fishing rod.

A measuring tape assembly includes a tape retractably received in a case. The tape has an end hook connected to the first end thereof, and the end hook is located outside of the case. The end hook includes a first face and a second face which is located opposite to the first face. The first face includes multiple grooves which are straight grooves. The first face has first sand portion attached thereon so as to form a first friction face on the first face. The first face faces the case so as to contact an object. The second face has second sand portion attached thereon so as to form a second friction face on the second face. The first and second sand portions provide proper friction so that the end hook does not slip away from the object to be in contact with.

This tool is not found in the industry commercially as of this date. The simplicity of the telescopic design results in a user friendly, simple solution to an otherwise complicated problem.

An adhesive-backed flexible backing, comprising a measuring tape and a receptacle for holding a writing instrument positioned or disposed on one end of said tape. Another end of the backing has a display surface area.

A visually encoded foil tape roll for glass foiling includes a tape roll core with flexible metallic foil tape wound thereon. The foil tape includes a metal foil layer, an adhesive layer on one side of the metal foil layer, and a peelable adhesive backing layer on the adhesive layer. The foil tape has a width dimension corresponding to an edge thickness of a glass edge onto which the foil tape is to be applied. The tape roll core displays a non-alphanumeric visual encoding selected to identify the width dimension of the foil tape and distinguish the foil tape roll from other foil tape rolls that comprise foil tape having different width dimensions and tape roll cores of different non-alphanumeric visual encodings. The foil tape roll may be dispensed from a foil tape dispenser having a detachable dispensing tip displaying a non-alphanumeric visual encoding matching the tape roll visual encoding.

A method for measuring an antler rack having a plurality of beams includes the steps of providing a flexible measuring tape that includes a front surface having graduated indicia printed thereon and a rear surface having an adhesive layer. A free end of the measuring tape is positioned at the tip of a selected beam of the antler rack and the tape extended to a terminal point/end of the tape. The measuring tape is severed at the terminal point so as to determine a length of the selected beam. Then, the severed portion is adhered to the selected beam to indicate that the selected beam has been measured. These steps are repeated until all beams have been measured and respective severed portions have been adhered to the antler rack. The adhered portions are then viewed and the highest numerical graduation indicates the score of the antler.
