Abstract:
1. A foot measurement apparatus for measuring the dimensions of a foot, including (a) an integrally-formed unitary base having first and second sections each with proximal ends and distal ends and top and bottom surfaces, the first and second sections being connected by a living-hinge interconnection portion at their proximal ends, the living-hinge interconnection portion includes a non-hinging middle portion with opposite edges, a living hinge extending from each of the opposite edges to join a respective one of the first and second sections at its proximal end, such that the living-hinge interconnection portion makes the unitary base collapsible, (b) a measuring scale on the top surfaces of the first and second sections, (c) an erectable heel-tab structure attached to the unitary base near the distal end of the first section, the heel-tab structure having a heel-contact portion pivotal between a collapsed position overlying the top surface of the first section and an erected position substantially normal to the first section, the heel-tab structure being removable from the unitary base, and (d) a toe-tab structure slideably engaged with the unitary base and including a toe-contact portion and a toe-support portion for attachment to the distal end of the second section.
