Patent Images
1. A height measurement device comprising:
- a housing adapted for mounting onto a wall;
a measuring arm carried by said housing for vertical displacement manually within a selected height measurement range to a position seated on top of a person'"'"'s head to represent that person'"'"'s height;
a control circuit including voice synthesizer means for producing preprogrammed voice audio outputs, said control circuit further including audio means for producing an audio signal in response to said vertical displacement of said measuring arm;
start means on said housing for activating said control circuit to generate instructional voice commands to explain how to operate said device;
said control circuit including means for tracking the vertical position of said measuring arm and for correlating said vertical position with a height measurement; and
readout means for activating said control circuit to generate a voice readout announcing the vertical position of said measuring arm.

Abstract
A mechanical slide carrying a measuring arm is movable in relation to a vertical scale, in association with voice commands and/or other novelty audio signals to position the measuring arm on top of a person'"'"'s head, at a position representing the person'"'"'s height. Depression of a readout button then activates a voice readout of the measured height.
