DEVICE FOR SCULL MEASUREMENT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device for scull measurement relates to measuring instruments in field of medicine and can be used in anatomy, anthropology, forensic medicine, criminalistics for human scull study. Device contains mechanism of automatic object rotation, made in form of support disk with replaceable screw rests, which have possibility of correcting their height and position with respect to axis of rotation, which is brought into motion by stepper motor, unit of stepper motor control, ensuring automatic supply of preliminarily specified number of pulses corresponding to angular step of object rotation, laser rangefinder, ensuring measurement of distance to object surface, mechanism of vertical and horizontal travel of laser rangefinder.

EFFECT: mechanism of rotation and orientation with support disk and screw rests makes it possible to fix object in required position, stepper motor ensures automatic rotation of object around axis on 360° with specified angular step; mechanism of vertical and horizontal travel of laser rangefinder makes it possible to carry out layer-by-layer scanning of object surface with specified interval, as well as carry out measurements in separate points.
