Measuring instruments and methods

Abstract

When replacing a toilet, we propose a measuring device that allows for comparison of the contact area between the existing toilet and the floor with the contact area between the new toilet and the floor, while the existing toilet is still installed. [Solution] A measuring tool for measuring the size of the installation surface 310 of an existing toilet 300 by bringing a first measuring member 100 and a second measuring member 200 close to the existing toilet 300 from both sides and determining whether or not the opposing parts of the first measuring member 100 and the second measuring member 200 come into contact, wherein the first measuring member 100 and the second measuring member 200 each have wall-mounted parts 110 and 210 with straight sides 111 and 211, arched parts 120 and 220 with measuring sides 121 and 221 extending in an arc shape or bent shape from the wall-mounted parts 110 and 210, and opposing parts 130 and 230 connected to the measuring sides 121 and 221, and in a state where the opposing parts 130 and 230 come into contact, the straight sides 111 and 211 of the first measuring member 100 and the straight sides 111 and 211 of the second measuring member 200 are aligned in the same straight line.

Claims

1. A measuring device for measuring the size of the installation surface of an existing toilet by bringing a first measuring member and a second measuring member close to the existing toilet from both sides of the toilet and determining whether or not the opposing portions of the first measuring member and the second measuring member come into contact, The first measuring member and the second measuring member are, A wall-mounted section with straight edges, An arch portion having a measuring edge that extends in an arc shape or bent shape from the wall-mounted portion, It has the opposing portion connected to the measuring edge, In the state in which the opposing parts are in contact, A measuring tool in which the straight edges of the first measuring member and the straight edges of the second measuring member are aligned in the same straight line.

2. The measurement method according to claim 1, characterized in that the mold material has a recess.

3. A method for measuring the size of the installation surface of an existing toilet using the measuring tool described in claim 1, When replacing the existing toilet with the new toilet, With the wall-mounted portion aligned with the wall, the first measuring member and the second contact measuring member are moved closer to the existing toilet from both sides. A measurement method for comparing the size of the installation surface of the existing toilet and the installation surface of the new toilet based on the presence or absence of a gap between the opposing parts.

4. A method for manufacturing a measuring instrument according to claim 1, A method for manufacturing a measuring instrument, comprising printing the shape of the measuring instrument onto a sheet material based on print data representing the shapes of the first measuring member and the second measuring member, and cutting along the shape of the measuring instrument.
