Abstract
A rolling ruler comprises a blade member configured to facilitate taking a measurement. The blade member is coupled to a handle that is configured to be gripped by a user, wherein the handle acts as a housing for storing a plurality of electronic components, the plurality of electronic components providing predefined functionalities to the rolling ruler. Further at least one roller with a rolling surface that is partially exposed through a backside of the handle for contacting a surface to be measured is in operable contact with a portion of the plurality of electronic components to facilitate measuring distance based on rotations of the at least one roller.

A rolling ruler comprising:
- a blade member configured to facilitate taking a measurement;
- a digital level;
- a handle coupled to the blade member and configured to be gripped by a user, wherein the handle acts as a housing for storing a plurality of electronic components, the plurality of electronic components providing predefined functionalities to the rolling ruler;
- at least one roller disposed within the handle, the at least one roller with a rolling surface that is partially exposed through a backside of the handle for contacting a surface to be measured, the at least one roller in operable contact with a portion of the plurality of electronic components to facilitate measuring distance based on rotations of the at least one roller;
- and
- a display disposed between the handle and the blade member for simultaneously displaying angular orientation determined by the digital level and distance traveled based on rotations of the at least one roller.
