GAP AMOUNT MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND GAP AMOUNT MEASUREMENT METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gap amount measurement device and a gap amount measurement method capable of accurately measuring an amount of a gap from a body regardless of a type of a wearing article.

SOLUTION: A gap amount measurement device 1 includes: a distance measurement device 10 having a pedestal part 12 for mounting a human phantom 20 and a sensor part 11 for measuring a distance to a measurement object by projecting a laser beam to the measurement object; the human phantom 20 which is constituted of a member for transmitting the laser beam of the sensor part 11 and is opened at an upper part, and whose inside is formed in a cavity shape; and an arithmetic unit 30 for calculating a gap amount between the wearing article and the human phantom from the distance measured by the distance measurement device 10. At the time, the sensor part 11 measures the distance to a wearing surface by projecting the laser beam to the wearing surface of the wearing article worn by the human phantom 20 from the inside of the human phantom 20, and the arithmetic unit 30 calculates the gap amount from the distance to the wearing surface of the wearing article.
