ABSTRACT:
Adjustable measuring devices are disclosed. The device comprises an elongate body having first and second ends. Both first and second ends have measuring cavities formed thereon. Preferably the body member further has a central rail member disposed between the measuring cavities formed at each end of the member. Slidably attached to the body member is an elongate central cover member. The central cover member has damming members extending downwardly at each end such that each damming member is snugly received within a measuring cavity. Accordingly, by sliding the central cover member across the body member, the volume in each respective measuring cavity can be increased or decreased to form a desired setting. Preferably, the adjustable measuring device has measuring indicia formed thereon as well as an adjustable interlocking arrangement between the central cover member and the body member such that fixed volumes may be readily and accurately measured. Additionally, slots running lengthwise into each measuring cavity are provided so as to facilitate cleaning of the adjustable measuring device. Furthermore, the central cover member is designed to be snap-mounted onto the body member such that the central cover member and body member are maintained in permanently connected condition.
