The scale display section 22 and the footprint display section 10 are provided obliquely with respect to the outer peripheral side of the sheet-shaped member 5 so that the space of the sheet-shaped member 5 can be reduced. Further, the alignment line portion 24 is formed in a linear shape, and is arranged at a base end position of the foot length measuring section 20, that is, at a position of 0 cm, at a right angle to the arrangement direction of the scale display section 22.
[0020]
Further, the foot circumference measurement unit 30 has a plurality of scale display units 32 in a state of being adjacent in parallel. The scale display section 32 is formed in a band shape, and scales for indicating the length are displayed at predetermined intervals. That is, the scale display section 32 functions as a major display section. The longitudinal direction of the scale display section 32 is not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the scale display section 22, but forms an angle slightly inclined to the thumb side of the last. In the example shown in FIG. 1, seven scale display sections 32 are provided, and each scale display section 32 can be cut off by a perforation 34.
[0021]
Further, the instep measurement section 40 has a plurality of scale display sections 42 in parallel and adjacent to each other. The scale display section 42 is formed in a band shape, and scales for indicating the length are displayed at predetermined intervals. That is, the scale display section 42 functions as a major display section. The longitudinal direction of the scale display section 42 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the scale display section 22.
[0022]
Note that, naturally, the instep measurement unit 40 is provided closer to the heel of the footprint of the footprint display unit 10 than the foot circumference measurement unit 30 is.
[0023]
Further, a size inquiry form / carte as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the inquiry form / carte display section R1.

A boundary region between the inquiry form / carte display portion R1 and the other portion of the sheet-shaped member 5 can be cut out by a perforation 50.
[0024]
In addition, a measurement method explanatory symbol as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the measurement method display section R2. This explains the measurement position of the foot when measuring the circumference of the foot and the circumference of the instep.
[0025]
In the heel arrangement method explanation display section R3, a method of arranging the heel on the alignment line portion 24 is displayed. For example, it is described as "Place a heavy and thick object (phone book, etc.) in the shaded area so that the vertical line between this sheet and the heel is the right angle. See Figure A." Here, the figure A corresponds to the symbol for explaining the measuring method shown in FIG.
[0026]
A method of using the foot size measuring instrument A having the above configuration will be described. First, the medical questionnaire and chart display section R1 is cut out through the perforation 50.
[0027]
Then, the foot length is measured. That is, a member whose wall surface is vertical, such as a telephone directory or a box, along the positioning line portion 24 so that the perpendicular dropped from the rearmost portion of the heel becomes the base point P of the positioning line portion 24. Is placed, and the foot is placed in accordance with the footprint of the footprint display unit 10 with the heel in contact with the member. At this time, the center position of the heel of the foot is set to the position of 0 cm on the scale display unit 22, that is, the base position P (see FIG. 1). Also, the tip of the foot is set so that the second finger of the foot is on the scale display unit 22. In that state, the foot length is measured. That is, the scale at the place where the end face of the toe of the foot intersects with the scale display section 22 is read.
[0028]
Next, the foot circumference is measured. In other words, the scale display portion 32 located closest to the line having the widest foot width, that is, the straight line connecting the base of the thumb (thumb) and the base of the little finger is cut through the perforation and cut out as shown in FIG. Then, the both ends of the scale display section 32 are extended to the upper surface of the foot, and the scale display sections 32 from both sides are crossed to wind the scale display section 32 around the foot. Thus, the position intersecting with the 0 cm scale indicates the length of the foot circumference. In particular, since a plurality of scale display sections 32 in the foot circumference measuring section 30 for measuring the foot circumference are provided, it is possible to appropriately measure the foot circumference according to the size of an arbitrary foot. FIG. 4 omits members such as a telephone directory. Further, the member such as the telephone directory may be measured by removing the member after adjusting the position of the foot once the member is placed.
[0029]
Next, the instep circumference is measured. That is, the scale display section 42 located at the highest point on the arch is cut through the perforation, and both ends of the scale display section 42 are extended to the instep side of the foot. And the scale display section 42 is wound around the foot. Thus, the position intersecting with the 0 cm scale indicates the length around the instep. In particular, since a plurality of scale display sections 42 are provided in the instep measurement section 40 for measuring the instep, it is possible to appropriately measure the instep according to the size of an arbitrary foot.
[0030]
As described above, the foot length, the foot circumference, and the instep circumference are measured. It should be noted that, when measuring, it is possible for a person who measures the size of the foot to perform measurement more correctly when it is measured by another person than by the person who measures the foot size. After the measurement is completed, the measured value is entered in the above-mentioned size medical questionnaire and chart, and also in other places. The completed size inquiry sheet / carte is used for custom-made shoes or as customer information.
[0031]
According to the foot size measuring instrument A of the present embodiment, the size of the foot can be easily measured. Further, since the foot size measuring instrument A is formed of one sheet, it can be manufactured at low cost and can be easily stored. Further, since the positioning line portion 24 for determining the position of the heel is provided, the length of the foot can be measured accurately, and the scale display unit 32 and the instep measurement in the foot circumference measurement unit 30 can be measured. Since a plurality of scale display sections 42 in the section 40 are provided, it is possible to accurately measure the scale according to the size of the foot.
[0032]
Further, since the foot size measuring device A of the present embodiment is formed in a sheet shape, the image data of the foot size measuring device A distributed on the Internet can be printed out by a printer or the foot size measuring device A can be printed on a CD-ROM. Since the image data of the size measuring tool A is input and the image data is printed out and used, the printed out image can be used, so that it can be easily obtained even in a remote place or the like. In addition, since the scale is displayed on the foot size measuring instrument A, it is necessary to measure whether or not the dimensions are correct with a measure, and if not, the size may be adjusted by performing a reduced copy or an enlarged copy. .
[0033]
It is preferable that the method of measuring the foot length, the foot circumference, and the instep circumference is simply described in a blank area of the foot size measuring instrument A.
[0034]
Further, in the above description, each memory display section is described as being separable by perforations, but may be used by cutting with scissors.
[0035]
Further, a plurality of types of footprints of the footprint display section 10 may be provided, such as for men and women, and for adults and children. By doing so, the foot can be more easily adjusted to the correct position, and accurate measurement can be performed. Conventionally, when measuring the foot circumference, a measure was used using a measure. However, for men, women, and children, the inclination of the straight line connecting the base of the thumb (thumb) and the base of the little finger with respect to the axis of the foot That is, since the inclination seen from above the straight line is different, conventionally it was necessary to know exactly the method of measuring the girth of the foot, but as described above, for men, women, and children, For example, for men, providing the foot circumference measurement unit at the average inclination of the male enables highly specialized measurement. In this case, it is preferable that the type of the foot size measuring instrument be described separately.
