Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a measuring instrument, and more particularly to a portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Waist-hip circumference is an important indicator for determining central obesity, making its measurement a crucial part of physical examinations. Current waist-hip circumference measurements are taken using a measuring tape, where the measurer wraps the tape around the waist and hips of the person being measured. However, this method has several drawbacks: 1. Measuring the waist and hips requires the measurer to hug the client's waist, which can cause discomfort. The waist and hips are relatively private areas, and the measurer's proximity and contact can feel like a violation of privacy, leading to embarrassment and discomfort, especially when measured between strangers. 2. Furthermore, measuring with a tape measure is inconvenient for a single person. To ensure accuracy, the measurer must hold the tape horizontally and snugly around the waist, making it difficult to keep the tape level and avoid compressing the skin, twisting, or folding the tape. This process requires the surveyor to have certain skills and experience; otherwise, measurement errors are likely to occur, requiring repeated adjustments and measurements, which increases the complexity and time consumption of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient waist and hip circumference measuring instrument. This invention solves the problem that traditional measurements require hugging the client's waist and hips. Furthermore, this invention ensures that the measuring scale remains on the same horizontal plane during measurement, resulting in high accuracy.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: a portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, including a base, a bottom sleeve on the base, an adjusting rod slidably connected to the bottom sleeve, and an adjusting sleeve slidably connected to the adjusting rod; a mounting shell is provided on the side of the adjusting sleeve, a transversely bent flexible tube is provided on one side of the mounting shell communicating with its inner cavity, and a positioning mechanism is provided on the other side of the mounting shell; a measuring tape is provided in the inner cavity of the mounting shell, a measuring ruler is wound around the measuring tape, the measuring ruler passes through the transversely bent flexible tube and has a connecting mechanism adapted to the positioning mechanism at its end; the transversely bent flexible tube is used to guide the measuring ruler to bend along the horizontal plane of the human waist and hips.

[0005] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the base is provided with a standing groove.

[0006] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the bottom sleeve end is provided with a first adjusting bolt, which is threadedly engaged with the bottom sleeve, and its end abuts against the side wall of the adjusting rod to fix the height of the adjusting rod.

[0007] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the adjusting sleeve is provided with a second adjusting bolt, which is threadedly engaged with the adjusting sleeve, and its end abuts against the side wall of the adjusting rod to fix the angle of the adjusting sleeve.

[0008] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the transversely bent flexible tube is semi-elliptical.

[0009] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the transverse bending flexible tube includes two vertically arranged arc-shaped transverse bending flexible strips connected to the side of the mounting shell. Multiple supporting hard rings are provided between the transverse bending flexible strips, and the transverse bending flexible strips and supporting hard rings are covered with wrapping fabric.

[0010] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the front of the mounting shell is an arc-shaped surface designed to fit the human body.

[0011] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the connecting mechanism includes a limiting block disposed at the end of the measuring ruler, and the limiting block is provided with a through hole; the positioning mechanism includes a positioning block disposed on the mounting shell, the positioning block corresponding to the transversely bent flexible tube, and the end of the positioning block is provided with a positioning hook adapted to the through hole.

[0012] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, the height of the limiting block is greater than the height of the inner cavity of the laterally bent flexible tube.

[0013] In the aforementioned portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, a pull ring is provided on the outer side of the end of the transversely bent flexible tube.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows the subject to stand beside the base before measurement. The mounting shell is moved by adjusting the rod and sleeve, and the measurement position is displayed intuitively through the horizontally bent flexible tube, thus accurately locating the waist or hip position. During measurement, the subject's back is pressed against the mounting shell, and the operator bends the horizontally bent flexible tube to fit the subject's waist or hip. Then, the measuring ruler is pulled out from the front of the horizontally bent flexible tube, fitted to the remaining waist or hip, and wrapped around to the back. The connecting mechanism is then connected to the positioning mechanism, and the measuring ruler reading is read to complete the measurement. One end of the measuring ruler remains fixed and is limited by the horizontally bent flexible tube, requiring only one hand to control the other end of the measuring ruler. Single-person measurement can be performed without both hands surrounding the subject's waist and hip, avoiding discomfort caused by physical contact. Furthermore, the measuring ruler is less prone to shifting, twisting, or bending, ensuring measurement accuracy. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Example: Portable waist and hip circumference measuring instrument, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base 1, a base sleeve 2 fixed on the base 1, an adjusting rod 3 slidably connected to the base sleeve 2, and an adjusting sleeve 4 slidably connected to the adjusting rod 3; as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2As shown, the adjusting sleeve 4 has an integrally formed mounting shell 5 on one side. One side of the mounting shell 5 has an opening, and a transversely bent flexible tube 6 communicating with its inner cavity is fixed on the opening, which can be bent laterally. The other side of the mounting shell 5 has an integrally formed positioning mechanism 7. The inner cavity of the mounting shell 5 is equipped with a measuring tape reel 8. A measuring ruler 9 is wound around the measuring tape reel 8. One end of the measuring ruler is fixed to the measuring tape reel 8. The measuring tape reel 8 adopts a conventional spring return structure, which can rotate to retract the measuring ruler in time. The measuring ruler 9 is inserted into the transversely bent flexible tube 6 and its end is fixed with a connecting mechanism 10 adapted to the positioning mechanism 7; the transversely bent flexible tube 6 is used to guide the measuring ruler 9 to bend along the horizontal plane of the waist and hips of the human body; the base 1 has a crescent-shaped standing groove 11 to guide the person being measured to stand in; the end of the bottom sleeve 2 is threaded with a first adjusting bolt 12, which is threaded with the bottom sleeve 2, and its end abuts against the side wall of the adjusting rod 3 to fix the height of the adjusting rod 3; the adjusting sleeve 4 is threaded with a second adjusting bolt 13, which is threaded with the adjusting sleeve 4, and its end abuts against the side wall of the adjusting rod 3 to fix the angle of the adjusting sleeve 4; the transversely bent flexible tube 6 is semi-elliptical, adapted to half of the waist and hip circumference of the human body, and together with the standing groove, guides the standing position of the person being measured; as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the lateral bending flexible hose 6 includes two vertically arranged arc-shaped rubber material lateral bending strips 14 connected to the side of the mounting shell 5. Multiple metal support rings 15 are bonded between the lateral bending strips 14. The lateral bending strips 14 and the support rings 15 are jointly covered with a covering fabric 16. The lateral bending strips are used for horizontal bending deformation and recovery, while the support rings resist vertical bending. Simultaneously, the inner ring forms an inner cavity through which a measuring ruler passes. The front of the mounting shell 5 is an arc-shaped surface for conforming to the human body, improving comfort and providing usage guidance. (See attached...) Figure 5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 10 includes a limiting block 17 fixed to the end of the measuring ruler 9, with a through-hole 18 on the limiting block 17; the positioning mechanism 7 includes a positioning block 19 integrally formed on the mounting shell 5, the positioning block 19 corresponding to the transversely bent flexible tube 6, and a positioning hook 20 integrally formed at the end of the positioning block 19 that matches the through-hole 18. The positioning hook is inserted into the through-hole to achieve fixation, eliminating the need for manual holding and facilitating reading. The initial reading of the measuring ruler is the sum of the width of the limiting block and the length of the transversely bent flexible tube; the height of the limiting block 17 is greater than the height of the inner cavity of the transversely bent flexible tube 6, preventing the measuring ruler from retracting into the inner cavity and facilitating its use; as shown in the attached... Figure 6 As shown, a pull ring is fixed to the outer side of the end of the transversely bent hose. The measurer can pull the pull ring to bend the transversely bent hose, further reducing contact with the person being measured.

[0024] Working principle: Before measurement, the subject stands next to the base 1. The mounting shell 5 is moved by adjusting the rod 3 and adjusting the sleeve 4. The measurement position is displayed intuitively by the horizontally bent flexible tube 6, thus accurately locating the waist or hip position. During measurement, the subject's back is close to the mounting shell 5. The operator uses the pull ring to bend the horizontally bent flexible tube 6 to fit the subject's waist or hip. Then, the measuring ruler 9 is pulled out from the front of the horizontally bent flexible tube 6, fits the remaining waist or hip, and is wrapped around to the back. The connecting mechanism 10 is connected to the positioning mechanism 7. The horizontally bent flexible tube 6, through the cooperation of the semi-elliptical structure and the supporting rigid ring 15, ensures that the measuring ruler 9 remains horizontal when bent, avoiding twisting or deviation. Then, the reading of the measuring ruler 9 is read to complete the measurement. One end of the measuring ruler 9 is fixed and limited by the horizontally bent flexible tube 6. Only one hand is needed to control the other end of the measuring ruler 9. Single-person measurement can be performed without both hands hugging the subject's waist and hip, avoiding the discomfort caused by body contact. Moreover, the measuring ruler 9 is not easy to deviate, twist, or bend, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.

[0025] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Furthermore, in these embodiments, "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" represent relative positions only, not absolute positions. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
