ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring the size of the whole or a specified portion of a human body or like body comprises at least one light projecting means for projecting rays, light receiving means opposed to the light projecting means for receiving rays therefrom to detect an actual-size silhouette pattern of the body, a floor portion provided between the light projecting means and the light receiving means for positioning the body thereon, and a rotary member for rotating the two means around the body relative thereto intermittently through a small angle at a time while holding the two means opposed to each other. Measurements of the body can be taken by the apparatus automatically, rapidly and with the desired accuracy without permitting direct contact of any measuring element with the body.
