FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an SAE and metric measuring tape with fractional markings for a tape measure showing my new design on a curved tape;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational view being identical;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side elevational view being identical;

FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 1, but showing another section of the tape;

FIG. 5 is similar to FIGS. 1 and 4, but showing another section of the tape;

FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 1, but showing another embodiment of the invention applied to a flat tape;

FIG. 7 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational view being identical; and,

FIG. 8 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side elevational view being identical.

The remaining views are not ornamental.

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