ABSTRACT:
A hand-held measuring device for measure the dimensional weight of the boxes in a shipment of freight includes a gun shaped housing having a tracing wheel located at a front end of the elongated portion of the housing. A handle is located at the back end of the elongated housing and extends downward therefrom. A trigger switch is also located at the back end of the elongated housing. In operation, the user of the devices holds the measuring device so as to place the wheel in contact with one corner of a freight box. The user then runs the wheel to an opposite corner to measure one dimension of the box. Afterwards the user presses the trigger to input that dimension into the device. After the length, height, and width of the box has been entered into the device, they are multiplied together to determine the volume of the box. This volume is converted into a unit of dimensional weight as indicated by the user and then combined with a total volume count indicating the dimensional weight of each box within the shipment measured by the device.
