ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring foot sizes for fitting shoes uses mechanical sliders for sizing the foot disposed in the apparatus using microprocessor controlled electronic sensing of slider positions and computation for display presentation of the foot size so that the operator is presented the length and width of the measured foot without having to interpret conversion charts or printed scales. The operator simply positions a foot on the apparatus with the heel of the foot firmly against a heel cup back stop, then positions the sliders, and activates the apparatus. A toe slider is aligned with the extremity of the longest toe. A ball slider is aligned with the ball of the foot. A width slider is adjusted to contact the side of the foot. The microprocessor senses the slider positions and computes the length and width based on slider positions. Selector switches enable choosing a appropriate scale based upon the appropriate country shoe size standard and upon a man, woman or child shoe size scale.
