ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a tape measuring device having a main housing containing a coiled flexible measuring tape extendable from the front side of the housing. On the front side of the housing is a marker housing containing a marker. A locking mechanism, disposed on the front side of the housing, adjacent to the marker housing is linked to the marker and the scribe through a lever arm. Accordingly, when the locking mechanism is pressed down, the lever arm drives the marker outside the marker housing, exposing the tip of the marker. The user can then mark the measured material with the tip. Further movement of the locking mechanism will move it into a locked position whereby the tape is fixed after the user releases the locking mechanism. When the locking mechanism is returned to its original position, the tip moves back inside the housing to provide protection when not in use.
