Abstract:
A measuring device ( 1 ) for measuring the position of a first body ( 2 ) to a second body ( 3 ) comprises a scale band ( 4 ) that can be attached to the first body ( 2 ) and that comprises a marker, wherein the measuring device ( 1 ) comprises two marker detection sensors ( 5, 6 ) that can be attached to the second body ( 3 ), wherein the marker is formed by a pattern out of marker stripes ( 7 ), which transitions ( 8 ) between a first position ( 9 ) of the scale band ( 4 ) and a second position ( 10 ) are respectively arranged predetermined inclined to the transversal direction ( 12 ) of the scale band ( 4 ) in such a respective inclination angle ( 13 ) that each of the inclination angles ( 13 ) has a value that differs from the values of the other inclination angles, and wherein the scale band ( 4 ) is divided into a first trace ( 17 ) and into a second trace ( 18 ).

Claim (Index 1):
Measuring device ( 1 ) for measuring a position of a first body ( 2 ) relative to a second body ( 3 ), the second body being neighboured to the first body ( 2 ) and being movable relative to the first body ( 2 ), wherein the measuring device ( 1 ) comprises:\n a scale band ( 4 ) that can be attached to the first body ( 2 ) and the scale band comprises a marker, and a first marker detection sensor and a second marker detection sensor ( 5 ,  6 ) that can be attached to the second body ( 3 ), wherein the marker is formed as a pattern of a plurality of marker stripes ( 7 ), the pattern transitioning ( 8 ) from a respective marker stripe of the plurality of marker stripes ( 7 ) to a neighboured marker stripe of the plurality of marker stripes ( 7 ) between a first position ( 9 ) on the scale band ( 4 ) and a second position ( 10 ) on the scale band, and the second position being arranged in a longitudinal direction of the scale band ( 4 ) at a distance to the first position ( 9 ), each marker stripe is respectively arranged to have a predetermined incline to a transverse direction ( 12 ) of the scale band ( 4 ) forming a respective inclination angle ( 13 ) such that each of the inclination angles ( 13 ) of a respective marker stripe has a value that differs from the value of the inclination angle of a respective neighboured marker stripe, wherein the scale band ( 4 ) is divided along a centre into a first trace and a second trace ( 17 ,  18 ), wherein the first marker detection sensor ( 5 ) is arranged neighboured to the first trace ( 17 ) for detecting the inclination angle ( 13 ) on a portion of one of the marker stripe transitions ( 8 ) disposed in the first trace and the second marker detection sensor ( 6 ) is arranged neighboured to the second trace ( 18 ) for detecting the inclination angle ( 13 ) of a second portion of the marker stripe transition ( 8 ) disposed in the second trace, the first marker detection sensor and the second marker detection sensor ( 5 ,  6 ) are arranged next to each other and each is disposed between the first position ( 9 ) and the second position ( 10 ), so that the position of the first body ( 2 ) relative to the second body ( 3 ) can be determined as the first sensor and second sensor move between the first and the second position ( 9 ,  10 ) by detecting the inclination angle ( 13 ) within each trace of the respective marker stripes disposed between the first position and the second position.
