Abstract
An instrument for measuring infants which include a housing that can be slid uniformly in a straight line on a base, a measuring device to record the translational motion, which is connected to a counter that displays the path traveled. The housing also can include a lamp device, in which an electrical light source is installed in such a way that it sends a beam of light, which is focussed, downward at a right angle to the direction of movement of the housing. The electrical light source thus creates a line-shaped light spot.
Claims9
An instrument for use in conjunction with a base for measuring the length of infants, the instrument comprising:
- a housing that can be moved uniformly in a straight line on the base;
- a measuring device mounted in the housing for recording and displaying a translational movement path between a starting point and a certain end point of a translation movement;
- and
- a device mounted in the housing emitting a scanning beam downward at a right angle to the base, separate and offset from the measuring device.
