Patent ID: 7181858

Claim:
A measuring device for determining the finished length of beaded jewelry comprising: a planar, transparent, flexible material member having an arced top edge formed by a first radius, an arced bottom edge formed by a second radius greater than the first radius, the arced bottom edge longer than the arced top edge, and first and second side edges of equal length; fastening means secured along one side edge for securing the first and second side edges together in an overlapping condition; and a plurality of mutually parallel arced lines inscribed on a surface of the flexible material member, each arched line extending essentially between the first and second side edges, each arced line formed by a third radius greater than the first radius and less the second radius, each arced line associated with a measuring indicia adjacent thereto; whereby the first and second side edges are secured together in the overlapping condition by the fastening means such that one end of each parallel arced line meets the other end thereof, and produces a hollow, conical structure, and such that the inscribed lines and indicia are interior of the hollow, conical structure; and wherein the conical structure is adapted for determining the finished length of beaded jewelry.
