Abstract: An infantometer in combination with a pediatric weighing scale. The infantometer has a pediatric-scale mounting means projecting downwardly from the main frame thereof with releasable retaining means for releasably retaining the infantometer to a pediatric scale, where the infant-receiving tray of the infantometer also serves as the infant-receiving tray of the pediatric weighing scale, whereby both height and weight measurements of an infant may be carried out substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: The height-measuring device of the present invention is foldable, or collapsible, on itself, in order to provide an easier and less-costly method of packaging and shipping. The height-measuring device of the present invention is also provided with an inherent, slidable or extensible leg or setup section that is slidably mounted in the rear of the sale-part, which extensible leg has a length equal to the lowest measurement-reading of the scale-section, whereby the bottom edge surface of the scale-part may be readily located during installation of the height-measuring device the proper distance above the floor.

Abstract: An infantometer is made of low-friction styrene, has two telescoping halves, with each having half of the measuring indicia thereon. The first stationary half has a fixed handle against which the head of the infant is placed. The measuring indicia or scale on the first half is located along one side edge thereof. The second, sliding half telescopingly slides in the first fixed half, and has a fixed foot-handle attached at it distal, free end for abutment against the feet of the outstretched infant. The measuring indicia or scale on the second half is located along a side edge thereof laterally opposite to that corresponding to the first half. The measuring indicia on the second half is arranged in descending order of magnitude, so that the free end-edge of the first half serves as a indication-rule. The two halves have an upper surface that form a trough or concave central section on which the infant is supported, whereby the infant is prevented from falling out.
