A tape measure comprises a housing having a tape outlet opening. A flexible measuring tape is movable between a retracted position in which the measuring tape is substantially disposed within the housing, and an extended position in which at least a portion of the measuring tape extends through the tape outlet opening and linearly outside the housing. The measuring tape has a free end and a pair of longitudinal edges, and the measuring tape has measuring indicia displayed thereon. A magnifying lens is connected to the housing. The magnifying lens overlays the portion of the measuring tape extending outside the housing when the measuring tape is in the extended position. The magnifying lens extends laterally beyond one of the longitudinal edges of the measuring tape. A cross-hair extends across the magnifying lens. The cross-hair is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal edges of the portion of the measuring tape extending outside the housing. The cross-hair is aligned against the measuring indicia.

Cette invention concerne un ruban à mesurer qui comprend une gaine dotée d'une ouverture pour laisser passer le ruban. Un ruban souple peut aller d'une position complètement rétractée à l'intérieur de la gaine à partiellement ou entièrement déployée, dans laquelle au moins une partie du ruban sort de l'ouverture et s'étend linéairement à l'extérieur de la gaine. Le ruban présente une extrémité libre et deux bordures longitudinales et il est gradué. Une lentille grossissante est reliée à la gaine. Elle recouvre la portion du ruban se trouvant à l'extérieur de la gaine lorsque le ruban est déployé. La lentille déborde latéralement une des bordures longitudinales du ruban. Un réticule est apposé sur toute la largeur de la lentille. Le réticule est en position généralement perpendiculaire aux bordures longitudinales de la partie du ruban se trouvant à l'extérieur de la gaine. Le réticule est aligné avec la graduation.
