ABSTRACT:
A self-positioning caliper is provided having an elongated base adapted to rest on a flat horizontal surface; a stationary jaw and a movable jaw projecting upwardly from the elongated base, the movable jaw being held by tension, for example gravity, against the stationary jaw. When the object to be measured is inserted between these jaws via a V-shaped recess provided at the upper end thereof it pushes the movable jaw away from the stationary jaw by the distance which is measured by an electronic measuring unit mounted to move with the movable jaw by the same distance and to measure the same and display the measurement. The caliper may also include side plates allowing measurement of the length or height of an object which is not readily measurable by the caliper's jaws.
