ABSTRACT:
A tape measure having an end hook capable of easily holding an object to be measured is proposed. A measuring strip is a self-sustaining metal strip formed with a convex section which has scale marks put thereon and painted. The end hook is a metal plate bent at a right angle and secured with rivets to the end of the measuring strip. A friction plate is a metal plate having an unevenly etched surface which is attached to the inside surface of the end hook by the use of an adhesive, double-coated tape. The uneven surface of the end hook is effective for holding the object to be measured.
