Foot-size measuring apparatus.

摘要

Measuring apparatus to measure the maximum length and width of a foot which apparatus comprises a foot-receiving platform, a frame which a foundation plate and at least one light-source device, and a first bank of radiant energy sensing means for the indication of the width dimension and a second bank of radiant energy sensing means for the indication of the length dimension, an electrical circuitry and a read-out panel, and positioned in the side-wall of the frame beside the platform at a level of the foot to be measured the light-source device, which radiates light in the horizontal direction, and at each opposing lateral and longitudinal side-wall a carrier going with the concerning bank of radiant energy sensing means, and the carriers move forward simultaneous by means of conveying means along the foot to be measured so the maximum width and length of the foot is determined by means of the electrical circuitry as an initial- and stopsignal is produced by the radiant energy sensing means which is generated by the interruption of a light-beam by the foot as well as in the lateral direction as in the longitudinal direction and that each carrier supports a holder (25) in which the bank of radiant energy sensing means are mounted vertically.
