ABSTRACT:
An improved structure for a tape measure includes a measuring tape, a tape measure framework, and a control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus includes a release key and a stopper. The withdrawal motion of the measuring tape can be performed by simply pressing the release key of the control apparatus with one of the user's fringer. Namely, when measuring length of an object, the user may pull out the measuring tape to a length slightly longer than the estimated value, and does not have to worry about the tape suddenly withdrawing automatically. When the tape is to be withdrawn, the user may presses lightly the release key of the control apparatus. The withdrawal of the tape may be halted by releasing the release key to actuate control function of the control apparatus.
