Wire gauge device and method of determining wire gauge
11448495 · 2022-09-20 · ·

A wire gauge measuring device comprises a main body, an arm extending from the main body such that a gap is defined between the arm and the main body, a plurality of switches, and indicator means. The gap has a plurality of differently sized gap portions arranged in decreasing size from a distal end to a proximal of the arm. Each switch is aligned with a corresponding one of the gap portions. The indicator means is adapted to provide an indication to a user based on which of the plurality of switches is depressed. The gap portion sizes are selected such that each gap portion is adapted to (1) receive a corresponding differently sized electrical wire, (2) prevent the corresponding differently sized electrical wire from moving into a smaller sized gap portion, and (3) position the differently sized electrical wire to depress the corresponding switch.
