Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention is a height measurement structure in which a main pillar for height measurement is erected on a footrest along a vertical measurement reference line. In particular, it relates to a height meter that is provided with a guide means in conjunction with the main pillar and footrest in order to guide and position the subject in an appropriate posture to the length measurement reference line position. be.

(b) Prior Art As is well known, conventional height meters have a structure in which a main pillar with a rectangular cross section is vertically erected on a footrest. When measuring the height using this conventional height meter, the person to be measured stands on a footrest and contacts the curved back of the head against the flat front side of the main ulnar column. However, since there is no means for guiding the subject to a predetermined position between the subject and the height meter,
The subject cannot be regularly and properly positioned with respect to the vertical measurement reference line of the height meter. Therefore, the measured values vary depending on the posture of the subject during height measurement, making it impossible to accurately measure the height of the subject.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention Therefore, this invention provides a relatively simple means for guiding the subject to the height meter.
A height meter equipped with a subject positioning guide that positions the subject at an appropriate and uniform position with respect to the vertical length measurement reference line of the main column of the height meter and enables accurate height measurement. It is about providing.

(d) Means for solving the problem In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention specifically measures the main height measurement scale on the footrest along the vertical measurement reference line. In a height meter with pillars, a concave curved groove is continuously provided on the front side of the main pillar along a vertical measurement reference line of the main pillar, and a groove is covered in the concave curved groove. An occipital guide designed to guide the back of the surveyor's head; and a heel guide for both feet of the surveyee placed on the foot base at the intersection of the foot tread surface and the base of the front side of the main ulnar column. The height meter is equipped with a subject positioning guide that prevents a line connecting the back of the subject's head and the rear of both feet from being tilted with respect to the vertical length measurement reference plane on the main pillar. .

(e) Description of Embodiments Hereinafter, a height meter equipped with a subject positioning guide according to this invention will be described in detail based on specific embodiments shown in the drawings. In this invention, the height gauge 1 is composed of a foot base 2 having a reference foot tread surface 3, and a main length pole erected on the foot base 2 along vertical length measurement reference lines D and L. It consists of 4. In this invention, a guide 5 for the back of the subject's head is provided with respect to the main pillar 4. The occipital guide 5 is formed directly on the front side surface 6 of the main pillar 4, and is, for example, a concave curved groove 7 suitable for receiving the curved occipital H of the subject A.
Composed by. The concave curved groove 7 extends along the vertical length measurement reference lines D and L of the main pillar 4.
It may be formed over the entire length of the height meter, or it may be formed only in the length measurement range of the height meter, that is, the length range where the head of the subject is located. As shown in FIG. 4, the main pillar 4 is folded at hinge connection points C and P via a hinge body 9 with respect to a support member 8 vertically mounted on the footrest 2. They may be connected together. In this case, the main pillar 4
is fixedly supported at a first position P ₁ standing up on the extension line of the pillar member 8 and a second position P ₂ provided on the front side surface 10 of the pillar member 8 and folded. Said second position P ₂
is within a rotation angle range of approximately 150° to 180° from the first position _P1 . On the other hand, in this invention, the front side root portion 6a of the footrest 2 and the main pillar 4 (in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the pillar member 8)
A double heel guide 11 for positioning the rear part F of both heels of the subject is provided. The double heel guide 11 is located at the base of the front side 6 of the main ulnar pillar or at the front side 10 of the strut member 8.
A fixing plate portion 12 fixed to the base of the
and a vertical plate portion 13 that intersects perpendicularly to the fixed plate portion 12, perpendicularly intersects the foot tread surface 3 of the foot base 2, and aligns with the vertical measurement reference lines D and L on the main pillar 4; It consists of Another example of the heel guide 11 is shown in FIG. 3B. In this example, the heel guide 11' comprises a pair of lateral guide plate parts 13' relative to a fixed plate part 12'.

A case in which height is measured using the height meter equipped with the subject positioning guide of this invention having the above configuration will be described. First, the person to be measured stands on the footrest 2.
The user stands up, positions both feet on both sides of the vertical plate portions 13 of the two-foot heel guide 11, and brings the rear portions of each heel into contact with the fixed plate portions 12 of the two-foot heel guide 11. On the other hand, the subject leans the back of his or her head against the front side of the main ulnar column 4. The curved back of the head of the subject is guided onto the vertical length measurement reference line of the main body 4 by an occipital guide 5 provided on the front side of the main body 4 .

(f) Effect of the device As described above, according to the height meter equipped with the subject positioning guide of this device, the person to be measured can move the vertical measurement reference line of the height meter on the back of the head and on the heel side. The position is determined by the occiput guide and the heel guide provided in connection with the height measurement, and it can be said to be highly effective in that it allows proper and regular height measurement to be carried out very easily.
