Fractional indicia on measuring implements

The characteristic feature of our invention resides in the representation of the fractions on a measuring implement and their arrangements relative to their associated fractional line markers.

FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a measuring implement in the form of a flat tape showing our design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the implement shown in FIG. 1, the rear elevational view being identical;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view of the implement shown in FIG. 1, the right side elevational view being identical;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of an alternate embodiment of our design; and,

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of yet another alternate embodiment of our design.
