Patent Images
1. A length measuring device, comprising a scale;
- a profile base for supporting the scale;
lateral profile legs connected with the profile base and projecting away therefrom for accommodating the scale on the profile base; and
a space,wherein the profile base is formed of a longitudinally stable and bendable metal strip;
wherein the lateral profile legs are made of an elastic material;
wherein the scale and the space are arranged between the profile legs;
the space having a depth comprising a majority portion of a height of the lateral profile legs from the profile base; and
wherein both the metal strip and the elastic material have a stiffness enabling the profile legs and the profile base to be wound up.

Abstract
An arrangement for accommodating a scale (2) of a length measuring device in a positive-locking engagement has a profile base (1) and lateral profile legs (4, 5) which are connected with the profile base so as to project away from it. A scale (2) is arranged between the profile legs (4; 5). The profile legs (4; 5) are made of elastic material and the profile base (1) is made of a longitudinally stable, bendable material. The profile legs (4; 5) can contain elastic sealing slats.
