    FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a measuring device. More specifically, theinvention relates to a measuring device for measurement of mouldings aroundwindows and doors.
    BACKGROUNDMeasuring devices such as metre rules, tape measures or the like can be used tomeasure the length of mouldings around windows, doors etc. Fig. l shows abuilding structure l with a Window 2 in a wall 3. Norrnally, the wall 3 comprises asheet, for example, of plasterboard, chipboard or the like, or it may be made ofpanel or the like which is sawn or cut to fit around the window 2. To obtain a neattransition between the window 2 and the wall 3, a lining 4 from the window 2 isused, the lining 4 ending in the same plane as the wall 3. In such cases there will bea gap 5 between the lining 4 and the wall 3 that must be covered by mouldings 6(only one of four mouldings is shown in Fig. l). These mouldings must be sawn tothe right length. Similarly, mouldings are used to cover gaps 5 between linings 4 ofdoors and surrounding wall 3.
    In this connection, there are a number of challenges. First, the distance L betweenthe end of lining 4 and the edge of each moulding 6 should be identical with oneanother. This will result in the mouldings also being centred around each window.Furthermore, there should be the same distance L between the edge of lining 4 andthe edge of each moulding 6 for all windows and doors in the same room.
    A measuring device for this purpose is available on the market. This device consistsofa sheet in the form ofa right-angled triangle with a scale (in mm) along each ofthe two sides that are perpendicular to each other. The device requires manualreading of the two scales for each corner that is to be measured, and is thus verycumbersome in use.
    US 7743517 teaches another measuring device for this purpose. This device consistsof two blocks that are displaceable relative to each other along a diagonal line. Ifthis device is to be used to measure around doors, the door must first be removedfrom the door frame. Furthermore, it is difficult to adjust the device with accuracy.
    The object of the invention is to provide a measuring device that is easy to use andwhich makes it possible to measure the necessary distance between the edge of thelining and the edge of each moulding such that the gap between lining and wall ishidden by the moulding. Furthermore, it is the object that the measuring deviceshould be easy to use to measure the necessary moulding length for windows anddoors in the same room, even though they have different dimensions. The object isfurther that when the measuring device is used to measure desired location of themouldings, it should be easy to use for marking the position ofthe mouldings onother Windows/doors in the same room.

    Reference is now made to Figs. 2 - 7. These figures show a measuring deviceindicated by the reference numera1 10. The measuring device 10 comprises a basebody 11 and a measuring body 21.
    The base body 11 comprises a first contact surface 12 and a second contact surface13 arranged perpendicu1ar to the first contact surface 12. The contact surfaces 12,13 are provided for being positioned against a corner ofthe 1inings 4a, 4b in Fig. 1,and this will be described in detail below. It is therefore advantageous that thecontact surfaces 12, 13 have a certain extent in height H and width L, B (vectors forthe base body°s length L, height H and width B are indicated in Fig. 6). Fig. 6shows that the contact surfaces 12, 13 meet in a corner H. However, this is not anessential feature, and the area where the contact surfaces 12, 13 meet may bebevelled, rounded, removed or shaped in another manner.
    The base body further comprises a base guide surface 14 arranged perpendicular tothe first and the second contact surface 12, 13. The base guide surface 14 forms aguide surface or sliding surface for contact with the measuring body 21.
    Fig. 5 shows that the base body has rectangular contact surfaces 12, 13 and a squarebase guide surface 14, that is to say that the base body 11 has the shape of a cuboidor straight prism. However, the base guide surface 14 may be triangular, rectangularor of another suitable shape. The part of the base guide surface farthest from thecorner H may also have a rounded shape.
    Measuring body 21 comprises a first measuring surface 22 and a second measuringsurface 23 arranged perpendicular to the first measuring surface 22. The measuringsurfaces 22, 23 are provided for measuring the distance between the comer of thelining and the corner of an existing moulding, optionally for marking the position ofnew mouldings in a comer, and this will also be described in detail below.Therefore, the measuring surfaces 21, 22 need not have such a large extent inheight.
    The measuring body 21 further comprises a measuring guide surface 24. In the firstembodiment, the measuring body is arranged perpendicular to the first and thesecond measuring surface 22, 23. The measuring guide surface 24 forms a guidesurface or sliding surface for contact with the measuring body 21.
    Figs. 4 and 5 show that the base body 1 1 and the measuring body 21 aredisplaceable relative to each other. The base guide surface 24 rests against themeasuring guide surface 14, and they can be displaced relative to each other fromthe position shown in Figs. 2 and 4 to the position shown in Figs. 3 and 5. It shouldbe noted that the base guide surface 14 and the measuring guide surface 24 do notneed to rest against each other to be displaceable relative to one another; it ispossible to place an intermediate layer between the surfaces 14 and 24 without anydetriment to their technical function.
    However, the base body 11 and the measuring body 21 cannot be displaced freelyrelative to one another in all directions. In Figs. 2 and 3 it is shown that themeasuring body 21 is linearly displaceable relative to the base body 11 along a lineD. In Fig. 3 the base body 11 and the measuring body 21 are square seen fromabove, and the line D here represents a diagonal line. The line D can be defined asbeing provided in the plane of the base guide surface 14 and/or in the measuringguide surface 24 and has an angle of 45° relative to the first contact surface 12, andan angle of 45° relative to the second contact surface 13. Furthermore, the line Dintersects the points at which the contact surfaces 12 and 13 meet (corresponding tocorner H in Fig. 2). If the base body and the measuring body have a rectangularshape, or another shape, the line D will not represent a diagonal line.
    In other words, the base body 11 and the measuring body 21 can be displacedlinearly relative to one another such that during linear displacement the first contactsurface 12 is parallel to the first measuring surface 22 and the second contactsurface 13 is parallel to the second measuring surface 23.
    The measuring body 21 is releasably attached to the base body 11.
    In the first embodiment, the measuring body 21 is linearly displaceable relative tothe base body 11 with the aid of a guide groove. The guide groove here comprisesan elongate cutout 25 in the measuring body 21. Furthermore, the base body 11comprises a pin 15 that projects up from the base guide surface 14. The pin 15projects up through the cutout 25.
    In the first embodiment, the pin 15 is essentially cylindrical, with an outer diameterequal to the width ofthe groove 25. The pin 15 is thus displaceable in thelongitudinal direction of the cutout 25. The cutout 25 has a direction of extent thatis parallel to or coincident with the line D, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 8a and 8b.
    In the first embodiment, the base body 11 and the measuring body 21 furthercomprise additional guide grooves 17 and 27. Fig. 8b shows that the base bodycomprises two guide grooves 17 in its measuring guide surface 14 which areparallel to the line D. Fig. 8a shows that the measuring body comprises two guidegrooves 27 in its base guide surface 24 which are parallel to the line D, and whichhave a position that allows them to cooperate with the guide grooves 17. Forexample, the guide grooves 17 may comprise a profile projecting outwardly fromthe base guide surface 14 and the guide grooves 27 may comprise a cutout in thebase guide surface 24, the grooves 17 and 27 being capable of guiding themovement of the base body 11 relative to the measuring body 21 such that only alinear movement is permitted.
    It is further shown in Figs. 8a and 8b that the base guide surface 14 comprises oneor two grooved areas 16 provided to cooperate with one or two grooved areas 26 onthe measuring guide surface 24. These grooved areas 16, 26 ensure that movementof the measuring body 21 relative to the base body 11 is prevented when the baseguide surface 14 is pressed against the measuring guide surface 24.
    In a preferred embodiment, the distance between each crest in the grooved areas 16on the base guide surface 14 is 1 mm. This means that it is easy to adjust the basebody 11 relative to the measuring body 21 and at the same time know the exactdistance that is measured by counting the number of "clicks" that are heard as thegrooved areas move relative to one another. Alternatively, the distance betweeneach crest in the grooved area 26 on the measuring guide surface 25 may be 1 mm.In the embodiments shown in the figures, the distance between the crests in both thegrooved area 26 and the grooved area 16 is 1 mm.
    It should be noted that guide grooves 17, 27 and grooved areas 16, 26 have beenomitted from Figs. 2 - 6 for simplicity.
    The pin 15 is also used for the releasable attachment ofthe measuring body 21relative to the base body 11 in the first embodiment. Here, the measuring device 10comprises a releasable fixing means 31 that is attached to the pin 15. In Fig. 7 it isshow that the fixing means 31 comprises an aperture 32 and that the pin 15comprises an aperture 15a, where a fastening device 33 can be positioned betweenthe apertures 32 and 15a and thereby secure the fixing means 31 to the pin 15.
    The releasable fixing means 31 is provided to be moved between a first state (shownin Fig. 5), in which linear displacement of the measuring body 21 relative to thebase body 11 is permitted, and a second state (shown in Fig. 4), in which lineardisplacement of the measuring body 21 relative to the base body 11 is prevented.The fixing means 31 has a configuration that allows the measuring guide surface 24to be pressed against the base guide surface 14 when it assumes the position in Fig.4, whilst it does not press the measuring guide surface 24 against the base guidesurface 14 in the position in Fig. 5. Of course, other fixing means are also possible,for example, the pin 15 may have an external threaded portion adapted to a fixingmeans having an internal threaded portion.
    Reference is now made to Fig. 9, which shows a second embodiment. Here the pin15 has a square or rectangular cross-section, which allows the guide grooves 17, 27to be omitted, the square or rectangular pin 15 alone being able to secure a linearmovement of the measuring body 21 relative to the base body 22. However, in suchan embodiment it is also preferable to have guide grooves 17, 27 in the base guidesurface 14 and the measuring guide surface 24, respectively.
    Reference is now made to Figs. 10a, 10b and 10c. Fig. 10a shows the firstembodiment and corresponds to Fig. 6, but seen from another angle. In this figure, itis shown that the base body 11 has the form of a straight prism. The thirdembodiment of the measuring device 10 has a measuring body 11 which comprisesa first sheet-like body 11a, a second sheet-like body 11b which projectsperpendicular out from the first sheet-like body 11a, and a third sheet-like body 11cwhich projects perpendicular out from the first sheet-like body 11a andperpendicular out from the second sheet-like body 11b. The outer surface of the firstsheet-like body 11a forms the base guide surface 14, the outer surface of the secondsheet-like body 11b forms the first contact surface 12 and the outer surface of thethird sheet-like body 11c forms the second contact surface 13.
    The third embodiment of the measuring device 10 ensures that it is also possible tomeasure correct distance to mouldings around doors, the second sheet-like body 11band the third sheet-like body 11c forming a corner that can be inserted between adoor and its door frame. The first and the second contact surface 12, 13 will thus lieagainst the door frame in the corner thereof and correct measurement forpositioning a moulding can be obtained. Thus, it is possible in a simple manner toobtain the same distance between door frame and moulding as the distance betweenlining and mouldings around windows, between lining and mouldings around doors(normally one side of a door is flush with the wall, and needs no lining, whilstlining must be used on the other side of the door). Here, there will thus be a needfor the present invention. Fig. 12 shows a photograph of the device 10 inserted in aspace 62 between a door 61 and the door frame/lining 60. Here, it is thus shown thatthe distance to moulding 6 can be measured without removing the door 61.
    Reference is now made to Fig. 11. Here, the measuring device 10 comprises a guidegroove in the form of a dovetail profile 50. The dovetail profile 50 may, forexample, comprise a dovetail body projecting from the measuring guide surface 24of the measuring body 21 and a corresponding dovetail cutout in the base guidesurface 14 of the base body 11. The dovetail profile 50 ensures that the measuringbody 21 is releasably secured to the base body 11, whilst ensuring that themeasuring body 21 is linearly displaceable relative to the base body 11. In thisembodiment there is thus no need for a locking means as this function is performedby the dovetail profile. The dovetail profile has a direction corresponding to orparallel to the line D, as described in connection with the embodiments above. Thedovetail profile 50 may further comprises grooves or the like, which mean that acertain force is required to push the measuring body 21 relative to the base body 11.
    In a first example, the measuring device will be used to measure the position ofmouldings in a room where one or more mouldings have already been mounted. Themeasuring device is used by placing first and second contact surfaces 12, 13 againstfirst and second linings 4a, 4b, respectively. The fixing means 31 is then releasedand the measuring body is pushed over the lining until it meets a present moulding.The locking means can now be locked. A control check can be carried out on otherwindows to check that other mouldings have the same distance to the lining. Themeasuring device can now be placed in a similar way in the corners of windows thathave no moulding, and a pencil can be used to mark a line along first and secondmeasuring surfaces 22, 23 to indicate the position where new mouldings are tomeet.
    In a room with no mouldings whatsoever, the measuring device is used in the sameway by measuring the required distance between lining and the point at which amoulding should be fixed so that the gap will be covered by the mouldings. Asimilar marking may subsequently be made for corners in all windows in the room.
