ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a retainer designed to fit on the end of a flexible tape of the extendable and retractable type that can be housed within a housing. The retainer in a preferred embodiment assumes a cap-like configuration and includes a back with a surrounding retainer ring. Formed in the back is a slit through which an L-shape end that extends from the remote end of the flexible tape can be projected therethrough such that when mounted on the tape the back of the retainer lies adjacent a turned-down catch that forms a part of the L-shaped end of the flexible tape. Thus, the retainer is adapted to receive, hold and retain the end of a member (such as a piece of shoe mold) to be measured.
