Abstract
Abstract A segment measuring gauge for ophthalic frames. A base member has a lower edge and an upper portion and a plurality of fingers extending vertically from the upper portion. A scale is formed on the gauge extending from adjacent the base member lower edge toward the vertically extending fingers. In use, the gauge is inserted into eye glass lens rim openings with the lower edge resting in the bottom portion of the lens well and the fingers interleaving the upper rim portion enabling the proper segment height to be read as well as to determine if the patient has a hyper-condition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A segment measuring gauge for ophthalic frames comprising: a planar base member having a lower edge formed of a smooth continuous surface and an upper portion; a plurality of fingers extending vertically from said upper portion when said base member lower edge is inserted in the bottom lens groove of a pair of ophthalic frames; and a scale formed on said gauge extending from adjacent said base member lower edge towards said vertically extending fingers; said base member and said fingers being formed of a single piece of integrally formed transparent flexible material for enabling said fingers to extend from the plane of said base member at varying intersecting angles and interleave an edge of said frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
