ABSTRACT:
A tape measure comprising a housing having a top wall and a front wall. A tape spool is mounted within the housing and a tape wound around said tape spool. An opening is provided in the casing to permit the tape to protrudce from the housing. Spring pressed means are provided in the spool to permit the spool to rotate to automatically wind-up the tape and withdraw it into the housing. Manual brake means are provided for braking said spool to retard the winding of the tape. The tape measure has a lock slide assembly mounted for slidable movement relative to the tape with means for moving the lock slide against the tape to lock the tape in extended position and for movement away from the tape to release the tape to permit the tape to be withdrawn within the casing.
