ABSTRACT:
A device for taking measurements including a telescoping assembly including a first end telescoping section, a second end telescoping section, and at least one middle telescoping section telescopically connected between the first end and the second end telescoping sections. The first and second end telescoping sections and the middle telescoping sections are marked with incremental measuring markings along the lengths thereof. The far end of the first end telescoping section is provided with a first flip-out measuring stop that is pivotal between a storage position and a use position. The far end of the second end telescoping section is provided with a second flip-out measuring stop that is pivotal between a storage position and a use position. When the first and second flip-out measuring stops are in the use position, each measuring stop extends perpendicularly away from its respective end telescoping section. In a preferred embodiment, one measuring stop is rotatable within a plane of rotation oriented in parallel with the plane of rotation of the other measuring stop.
