Patent ID: 8269951

Claim:
A measuring assembly comprising: a housing having a top wall, a back wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall; a laser emitter being mounted in said housing and emitting laser light outwardly of said front wall when said laser emitter is turned on; a light detector being mounted in said housing and capturing light received through a window in said front wall, said light detector receiving the laser light when the laser light is reflected off an object; a processor being mounted in said housing and being electrically coupled to said laser emitter and said light detector, said processor being programmed to determine a distance between said housing and the object off of which the laser light is reflected; a measure actuator being mounted on said housing and being electrically coupled to said processor, said measure actuator actuating said laser emitter and said light detector when said measure actuator is actuated; a sound emitter being mounted in said housing and being electrically coupled to said processor, said processor being programmed to audibly indicate the distance; and said processor being programmed to audibly emit the distance in one of a plurality of dialects, a dialect actuator being mounted on said housing and being electrically coupled to said processor, said dialect actuator being actuated to select one of said dialects.
