Abstract
The invention described herein relates to a device for use with measuring instruments having a movable plunger, such as dial gauge indicators. The device includes a body carrying a slidable member, a shoulder element movable within the body and a suitable means for mounting the body to the measuring instrument. In operation, selective movement of the slidable member limits the amount of plunger travel to a fixed distance. The device may be utilized with different adapters to vary the measuring capabilities of the instrument and at least one novel adapter is described herein.
Claims14
A device for use with measuring instruments including dial gauge indicators and the like which have a movable plunger for determining dimensions of a workpiece, comprising:
- a body member having a bore therethrough receiving the plunger and further having an adjustment slot extending through at least one wall thereof and communicating with said bore;
- means for mounting said body member to the measuring instrument;
- a sliding member carried on said body member over said adjustment slot;
- and,
- shoulder means, engagable with said sliding member for supporting the plunger whereby movement of the plunger is limited to a fixed distance as determined by the position of said sliding member on said body member.
In combination, a device for use with measuring instruments, including dial gauge indicators and the like which have a movable plunger, and an adapter for interposition between said device and a workpiece comprising:
- a body member having a bore therethrough receiving the plunger and further having an adjustment slot extending through at least one wall of said body member and communicating with said bore;
- means for mounting said body member to the measuring instruments;
- means for mounting said body member to the adapter;
- a sliding member carried by said body member over said adjustment slot;
