Anthropometric measuring device for determining sagittal and transverse abdominal measurements

Abstract

Anthropometric measuring device (1) for determining at least one sagittal and / or transverse abdominal dimension, comprising a base assembly with an elongated base bar (11) and a stop bar (12) fixedly arranged relative to the base bar, and a slide assembly longitudinally displaceable relative to the base assembly, comprising a slide profile (21) and a measuring bar (22) rigidly connected to the slide profile, wherein the fixed stop bar (12) and the measuring bar (22) form opposing measuring stops, characterized in that the slide profile (21) is inserted into an open profile area of ​​the base bar (11) and is guided longitudinally displaceable along the base bar by directly interacting profile surfaces of the base bar (11) and the slide profile (21).wherein the distance between the fixed stop bar (12) and the measuring bar (22) can be changed by the longitudinal displacement of the slide assembly and the measuring bar (22) maintains its essentially parallel spatial orientation with respect to the fixed stop bar (12).
