ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for measuring distance selectively along any one or more of an outwardly facing subjacent surface, such as a floor surface, a horizontally facing surface, such as a wall surface, and a downwardly facing surface, such as a sealing surface. The measurement is effected by utilizing an extensible mounting member carrying, at one end, a measurement wheel and an associated counter/indicator adapted to be viewed by a person utilizing the device and grasping the opposite end of the mounting member in effecting a rolling movement of the wheel along the surface to be measured. Locking structure is provided for selectively locking sections of the extensible mounting member in an infinite number of different extended dispositions. The mounting member permits the user to effect the different measurements with a single adjusted arrangement of the mounting member or a plurality of different adjusting arrangements as desired. The mounting member is caused to have a length sufficient to permit the measurement of distances along a ceiling surface with the mounting member disposed at an angle to the vertical.
