ABSTRACT:
A tape capable of automatically arresting is provided which includes a casing, a gauge accommodated in the casing, arresting members, and a button movably mounted on an end of the casing. A notch is defined at an end of the casing. The gauge includes a reel shaft and a scale strip spirally enlacing the reel shaft. Each arresting member includes a rod, an abutting block on an end of the rod and corresponding to a side of the reel shaft, and a resilient portion around the rod. A button includes a pressing portion received in the notch, and a rotating shaft corresponding to the pressing portion. The rotating shaft includes a first arm and a second arm in response to the abutting blocks of the arresting members. In the event the scale strip of the gauge is pulled out, the arresting members automatically limit movement of the scale strip.
