Height measuring device

Abstract

A height measuring device having an elongated member with a substantially rectangular cross-section. A channel or groove is formed in the middle of the elongated member's wider side and substantially extends the entire length of the elongated member. A metal strip is attached to the inside surface of the groove. The metal strip engages a magnetic plate of a sliding bar which is movably positioned inside the groove and extends out of the elongated member forming a perpendicular angle with respect to the elongated member's surface. The sliding bar is part of a kit of measuring bars or blocks which can be aligned with the scales to measure the height of an individual. The measuring blocks contain magnetic plates attached to its periphery for placement adjacent to the bottom of the groove. The member is made of various materials and is vertically attached to a wall including a measuring tape with an adhesive attached to the member's outside surface.
