Abstract
Disclosed herein is a tape rule comprising a housing 1, a measuring tape (abbreviated as tape only) 2, a reel 3 for the tape 2 to wind around, a spring 4 for winding the tape 2 back to the reel 3, an arc shaped strap 12 disposed at the periphery of the reel 3 to be freely slidable therearound, a stopper 11 including a push button 13 exposed outside of the housing 1, and a claw 14 for locking the tape 2 pulled out of the housing 1 at an end to of the stopper 11. Furthermore, a brake shoe 15 is integrally formed at the inner surface of the arc shaped strap 12 of the stopper 11 for releasing the locking state made by the claw 14 so that when the tape 2 is automatically winding back around the reel 3 by a resilient force of the spring 4. The tape 2 may be made in contact with the edge of the reel 3 to reduce its retracting speed through pushing the push button 13 towards the radius center of the reel 3.
