Gauging instrument

In a gauging instrument

• a mounting bar,
• means for supporting said mounting bar in a spaced relation with respect to a surface,
• a pair of V-blocks carried by said mounting bar and being longitudinally movable along said mounting bar,
• means for locking said V-blocks relative to said mounting bar,
• a mounting block carried by said mounting bar and being longitudinally movable relative to said mounting bar,
• means for locking said mounting block relative to said mounting bar,
• a stub shaft threaded into said mounting block,
• a rod connected in one end portion of said stub shaft,
• a base member resiliently carried by said rod,
• an anvil projecting outwardly from said base member and being generally aligned with said V-blocks,
• a second rod projecting upwardly from said base member at substantially a right angle with respect to said anvil,
• an elongated gripping member carried by said second rod and having its longitudinal axis lying in a plane substantially parallel to said anvil, and
• a dial indictor means carried by said gripping member with a probe extending toward the anvil whereby a workpiece positioned on said V-blocks is engaged by said anvil and by said probe whereby the diameter of said workpiece is measured.

In a gauging instrument

• a mounting bar,
• means for supporting said mounting bar in a spaced relation with respect to a surface,
• a mounting block, carried by said mounting bar and being movable along said mounting bar,
• means for locking said mounting block relative to said mounting bar,
• a shaft carried by said mounting block,
• a rod connected to one end portion of said shaft,
• a base member resiliently carried by said rod,
• an anvil projecting outwardly from said base member,
• a second rod projecting upwardly from said base member at substantially a right angle with respect to said anvil, and
• a dial indicator means carried by said second rod with a probe extending toward said anvil whereby a workpiece is engaged between the anvil and the probe for measuring the diameter of said workpiece.

In a surface stand having a base,

• a column mounted for limited pivotal movement and extending generally vertically relative to said base,
• a mounting block carried by said column and being movable vertically along said column,
• means for locking said mounting block relative to said column,
• a dial indicator means carried by said mounting block with a probe extending therefrom, and
• an anvil carried by the column and extending up through an opening in said base, said anvil engaging one side of a workpiece with said probe engaging the opposite side of said workpiece whereby said workpiece is gauged.
