  • Anthropometric measuring device
    Patent number: 9351666
    Abstract: A measuring device with a measuring tape and a one-piece handle. The handle includes a main body with a fixed reference, an anchor portion with a movable reference and a resilient element. The measuring tape is secured to the anchor portion. The resilient element allows the anchor portion to move with respect to the main body when the measuring tape is under the tension. The resilient element is configured so that the movable reference comes into alignment with the fixed reference when the measuring tape is under proper tension. The fixed reference may also provide a reference from which to take measurements. The resilient element may include a pair of nonlinear segments that straighten under tension. The main body may include a pair of fixed references disposed on opposite sides of the measuring tape, and the anchor portion may include a pair of corresponding movable references.
