Tapeless measure gauge

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to measuring lengths. Typically one would use a ruler or tape ruler to measure units of distance, and to measure surface area of objects of a variety of shapes and sizes. However, in existing technology when using a ruler or tape ruler one cannot measure objects with complex shapes and sizes such as objects with a curved path, curved shape or irregular shape. Therefore, this new invention of Tapeless Measure Gauge provides a handheld digital rolling measuring gauge in a single item solution to accurately measure such objects varying from a flat surface, to a curved surface or shape or irregular shape.
