uppfinningshöjd

Uppfinningshöjd is a Swedish term used occasionally in patent documentation and technical drawings to denote the vertical dimension associated with an invention or device. It describes the height of the device, the height that the invention extends during operation, or the maximum vertical extent allowed by the design.

Etymology and usage notes: The word is a compound of uppfinning (invention) and höjd (height). It is not a standard architectural or engineering term and is more likely to be found in drafting notes or patent specifications where a specific vertical measure related to the invention is required.

In practice, uppfinningshöjd refers to a defined vertical dimension in a drawing or specification. It may describe the maximum reach of moving parts, the overall height of a finished product, or the clearance needed to accommodate operation. Because it is not universally standardized, writers may instead use more common phrases such as overall height, maximum height, or height clearance.

Measurement and interpretation: The value is given as a linear dimension with units (for example millimeters or meters) and is tied to a defined reference datum or base plane. Tolerances and allowable variation are typically specified in accompanying notes or in a separate tolerance table.

Example: In a patent for a robotic gripper, uppfinningshöjd might be specified as 1.25 meters from the base to the top of the gripper in the fully extended position.
