Abstract
A thread gauge, which allows to reliably know the time for replacement by visual checking and improves the predetermined dimensional accuracy of a thread product has a go-side thread measuring portion extending from one side of a shank portion coaxially with the shank portion or a not-go-side thread measuring portion extending from an other side of the shank portion coaxially with the shank portion, a wear checking gauge line having a predetermined length and a predetermined depth formed on male thread portions and female thread portions formed on the go-side thread measuring portion or the not-go-side thread measuring portion.
Claims22
A thread plug gauge with a maintenance line, comprises:
- a thread plug gauge body having a go-side thread measuring portion extending from one side of a shank portion coaxially with the shank portion or a not-go-side thread measuring portion extending from an other side of the shank portion coaxially with the shank portion;
- a wear checking gauge line having a predetermined length and a predetermined depth or a round point having a predetermined depth and a predetermined diameter formed on a male thread portion and a female thread portion formed on the go-side thread measuring portion or the not-go-side thread measuring portion.
A method of manufacturing a thread plug gauge with a maintenance line comprising:
- connecting a thread plug gauge body to a negative electrode base connected to a power supply box which controls a current;
- setting a green stencil which has a cut-out portion having a desired marking pattern and from which an electrolytic solution exudes on a carbon filter with the electrolytic solution being contained in a positive electrode handle connected to the power supply box;
- energizing the positive electrode handle while gripping the handle;
- and
- forming a wear checking gauge line on a male thread portion and a female thread portion of a go-side thread measuring portion or a male thread portion and a female thread portion of a not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread plug gauge body by performing a marking process by sliding the positive electrode handle on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread plug gauge body to form a concave shape which has a depth of 0.3 μm to 0.4 μm and a width of 0.2 mm and is blackened;
- or
- forming a wear checking round point on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread plug gauge body by performing the marking process without sliding the positive electrode handle on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread plug gauge body to form a concave shape which has a depth of 0.3 μm to 0.4 μm and a diameter of 2 mm and is blackened.
A thread ring gauge with a maintenance line, comprises:
- at least one thread ring gauge body having an upper surface portion and a lower surface portion and having a go-side thread measuring portion formed on an inside portion to have a male thread portion and a female thread portion of the same class as that of a screw to be measured or having a not-go-side thread measuring portion formed on an inside portion to have a male thread portion and a female thread portion of the same class as that of a screw to be measured;
- and
- at least one wear checking gauge line having a predetermined length and a predetermined depth or at least one round point having a predetermined depth and a predetermined diameter formed on the male thread portion and female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion and the not-go-side thread measuring portion which are engraved between the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion which constitute the at least one of the thread ring gauge body.
A method of manufacturing a thread ring gauge with a maintenance line, comprising:
- connecting a thread ring gauge body to a negative electrode base connected to a power supply box which controls a current;
- setting a green stencil which has a cut-out portion having a desired marking pattern and from which an electrolytic solution exudes on a carbon filter with the electrolytic solution being contained in a positive electrode handle connected to the power supply box;
- energizing the positive electrode handle while gripping the handle;
- and
- forming a wear checking gauge line on a male thread portion and a female thread portion of a go-side thread measuring portion or a male thread portion and a female thread portion of a not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread ring gauge body by performing a marking process by sliding the positive electrode handle on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion to form a concave shape which has a depth of 0.3 μm to 0.4 μm and a width of 0.2 mm and is blackened;
- or
- forming a wear checking round point on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion of the ring gauge body by performing the marking process without sliding the positive electrode handle on the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the go-side thread measuring portion or the male thread portion and the female thread portion of the not-go-side thread measuring portion of the thread ring gauge body to form a concave shape which has a depth of 0.3 μm to 0.4 μm and a diameter of 2 mm and is blackened.
