Abstract
A measuring tape assembly includes a tape retractably received in a case. The tape has an end hook connected to the first end thereof, and the end hook is located outside of the case. The end hook includes a first face and a second face which is located opposite to the first face. The first face includes multiple grooves which are straight grooves. The first face has first sand portion attached thereon so as to form a first friction face on the first face. The first face faces the case so as to contact an object. The second face has second sand portion attached thereon so as to form a second friction face on the second face. The first and second sand portions provide proper friction so that the end hook does not slip away from the object to be in contact with.
Claims8
A measuring tape assembly comprising:
- a tape having an end hook connected to one end thereof, the end hook having a first face and a second face which is located opposite to the first face, the first face having multiple grooves which are straight grooves;
- the tape retractably received in a case and the end hook located outside of the case, the tape being pulled from the case or being retracted into the case;
- the first face having a first sand portion attached thereon so as to form a first friction face on the first face, the first face facing the case and adapted to contact an object, an average surface roughness of the first friction face being bigger than an average surface roughness of the tape, and
- the second face having a second sand portion attached thereon so as to form a second friction face on the second face, an average surface roughness of the first friction face being bigger than an average surface roughness of the tape.
