The invention relates to an electrooptical distance measuring device comprising a transmitter that emits optical radiation for lighting an object to be measured, an optical transmitting system which is rigidly mounted in relation to the transmitter and a light collector. A support element is positioned with a measurement receiver and a receiving electronics in relation to the light collector. The support element is rigidly linked with the measurement receiver with regard to at least two directions of movement.

Electrooptical distance measuring device

Casing of a device for the measurement of distances

The invention concerns a measuring stop device for a distance-measuring apparatus ( ), said device comprising a rear measuring stop ( ) which runs perpendicular to the measuring direction ( ), is linear and is divided into at least two measuring stop regions ( ), at least one measuring stop region ( ) being rotatable about an axis ( ) running parallel to the measuring direction ( ). If the measuring stop regions ( ) are aligned one behind the other, a distance can be measured from a transversal intersecting a vertex and is used, for example, for determining the diagonals of a surface. In order to measure distances from a flat surface, a stable support surface which is perpendicular to the measuring direction ( ) can be provided by rotating the rotatable measuring stop region ( ) accordingly.
