The
basic design on which all modern spring tape measures are built can
trace its origins back to an 1864 patent by a Meriden, Connecticut
resident named William H. Bangs Jr. According to the text of his patent,
Bang's tape measure was an improvement on other versions previously
designed. Figure 1 below.
The
spring tape measure has existed in the U.S. since Bang's patent in
1864, but its usage did not become very popular due to the difficulty in
communication from one town to another and the expense of the tape
measure. In the late 1920s, carpenters began slowly adopting H. A.
Farrand's design is the one more commonly used. Farrand's new design was
a concave/convex tape made of metal which would stand straight out a
distance of four to six feet. This design is the basis for most modern
pocket tape measures used today. Source: Wikipedia
