Description
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an SAE and metric measuring tape with
fractional markings for a tape measure showing my new design on a
curved tape;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational
view being identical;
FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side
elevational view being identical;
FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 1, but showing another section of the
tape;
FIG. 5 is similar to FIGS. 1 and 4, but showing another section of
the tape;
FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 1, but showing another embodiment of the
invention applied to a flat tape;
FIG. 7 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational
view being identical; and,
FIG. 8 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side
elevational view being identical.
The remaining views are not ornamental.
The characteristic feature of my invention resides in the
representation of the fractions on a measuring tape and their
arrangements relative to their associated fractional line
markers.
