ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for taking body measurements of a seated person for making individually sized seat and back support cushions includes a foldable frame having a first leg/buttocks rule and a second height rule pivotally coupled together and adapted for positioning adjacent the leg/buttocks and back portions, respectively, of a person positioned thereon. The height rule is moveable along the length of the leg/buttocks rule upon which the person being measured is seated for measuring the distance from the seated person's buttocks to his or her knees. A moveable, generally V-shaped bracket adapted for engaging the person's shoulders is attached to the height rule and allows the person's seat-to-shoulder dimension to be measured. A moveable third rule attached to the leg/buttocks rule and disposed between its knee engaging end and the height rule includes a pair of moveable hip engaging paddles for measuring the person's hip width. A fourth rule movably attached to the second height rule also includes a pair of moveable torso engaging paddles for measuring torso width. Detents disposed along each of the rules at regular, spaced intervals are adapted to receive and maintain in position the height rule, the V-shaped bracket and the hip and torso rules for accurate measurement of the various dimensions. The foldable frame and the sliding, removable engagement of the several paddles of the hip and torso rules permit easy disassembly and folding of the apparatus into a compact configuration when not in use.
