Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring device for detecting circumferential dimensions, in particular body dimensions or areas, a flexible measuring tape being provided in a housing, which can be retrieved into the housing by means of a spring, and where appropriate a viewing window is provided in the housing for reading is.
- the bodymeter is a measuring device for the precise recording of circumferential dimensions, especially of body parts and areas.
- the invention has for its object to provide a measuring device of the type mentioned, with which amounts can be measured precisely and easily.
- the free end of the flexible measuring tape is provided with a latching device which can be detachably latched onto a counterpart provided on the housing or onto the area of the measuring tape coming out of the housing.
- a latching device which can be detachably latched onto a counterpart provided on the housing or onto the area of the measuring tape coming out of the housing.
- the viewing window which preferably has a magnifying effect, can advantageously be provided with an indicator, the tape with the scale facing the viewing window being guided on the inside of the viewing window, thereby preventing inaccurate reading.
- an electronic measuring device can be provided, which displays the measured value on a display or the like.
- the electronic measuring device can preferably be provided in addition to the viewing window with which the scale of the measuring tape is made visible. This means that the measuring device remains operational even if the battery fails.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of the first embodiment of the
- Fig. 2 is an end view of the same seen from the front.
- Fig. 3 shows the measuring device in section along line I-I of Figure 2.
- Figure 4 is a top view of the meter.
- Fig. 5 shows another embodiment variant in section along line V-V of Fig. 6 again.
- Fig. 6 is a front view of the measuring device seen from the front.
- Fig. 7 shows the measuring device in side view.
- FIG. 1 denotes a housing from which a flexible measuring tape 2 is guided out via a slot.
- the flexible measuring tape 2 is guided along a viewing window 3 and around a central web e.g. can be wound up by means of spring 4.
- a holding member e.g. a rod 5
- the free end of the band 2 can be fixed via a hook 6.
- the measuring tape 2 is pulled out of the housing 1 to tension the spring 4 and the hook 6 is latched onto the rod 5 to measure the circumference of the corresponding body part or other object.
- an electronic measurement and result display is provided instead of or in addition to a viewing window not shown in the associated figures.
- an electronic measuring device 7 is provided for measuring the length of the pulled-out measuring tape 2 shows the measured value on display 8.
- a battery 9 is provided for the power supply.
- the operator key is designated by 10. If desired, the measuring tape can be fixed in any position by means of a lock 11.
- a holding member e.g. Hook 5, provided, on which the free end of the band 2 can be fixed via a rod 6.
- two hooks 5 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, the band 2 reaching through between the hooks and being fixed by means of the rod 6 provided at the end of the band 2.
- the measuring tape 2 is pulled out via the slot in the housing 1 while tensioning the spring 4 and the rod 6 is latched into the hook 5. Then, by means of the spring 4, the measuring tape 2 is allowed to slide back into the housing 1 until it bears tightly on all sides of the body part or other object to be measured. The exact extent of the object to be measured is then precisely determined by the electronic measuring device 7 on the basis of the length of the measuring tape 2 pulled out of the housing 1 and is shown on the display 8, which can be easily read from above. If available, the scale can also be read directly in the viewing window.
