20100053640 | MEASURING DEVICE FOR MEASURING A DISTANCE - A measurement arrangement has a rotation axis around a first end of an extended member having a first joint thereat, and a second joint at the opposing end. An equipment for recording measured points is connected to the second joint. The joints are connected through a cord or wire. The equipment is arranged to rotate through a pre-determined angle when the member is turned around its rotation axis. An angle sensor records the rotation of the equipment relative to the member. The cord or wire rotates the equipment through an angle corresponding to the angle that the member has rotated around its rotation axis. The equipment and the member rotate in opposite directions, and the angles of rotation are recorded when the equipment detects the limiting surface of the object on both sides of the diameter to be measured. A processor calculates the diameter based on the angles of rotation. | 03-04-2010 |
20080209750 | Diameter Measuring Instrument - A calliper-like instrument for measuring tree diameters, includes a straightedge on which there is placed a first leg and a second leg. The instrument further includes a recording unit adjacent the first leg for recording and storing tree diameter measurements. The first leg is fixedly placed along the straightedge, and the second leg projects out from a slide displaceable along the straightedge, with the legs and the straightedge located in mutually the same plane. The first leg can be lowered in the plane and is pivotally fastened to an attachment on the straightedge, and the second leg can be lowered in the plane and is pivotally attached to the slide. The first leg has a first fastener intended to be hooked into the attachment and the second leg has a second fastener intended to be hooked into the slide. | 09-04-2008 |
