DEVICE FOR MEASURING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ELASTIC BODIES

A device for measuring the physical properties of elastic bodies, characterized by comprising at least two contacts adapted to contact the surface of an elastic body which is a measurement subject, at least one of the contacts being movable, a drive section for moving the movable contact, a control section for controlling the action of the drive section, a detecting section for detecting, as an electric signal, a stress produced by the movement of the contact, and a processing section for processing the electric signal for the stress detected by the detecting section and the amount of movement of the movable contact, wherein the action of the contacts making contact with the surface of the elastic body includes the access action of the two contacts and the action of the two contacts holding and becoming stationary after their access action.
