Abstract
In a gage to gage an axially tapered surface on work, the combination comprising first and second gage sections defining an axis, and relatively movable axially; first locaters on the first section to engage the tapered surface at first locations spaced about the axis; second locaters on the second section to engage the tapered surface at second locations spaced about the axis, an indicator plunger on the second section to engage a shoulder on the first section as the two sections are relatively moved, axially; and whereby the amount of subsequent relative movement of the two sections prior to engagement of the second locaters with the work is an indication of work surface taper deviation from a predetermined taper.
Claims12
A combination of a gage to gage an axially tapered surface on work, and including said work, the combination with said work comprising
- a) first and second gage sections defining an axis, and movable relatively telescopically and axially,
- b) first locaters on the first section to engage said tapered surface at first locations spaced about said axis,
- c) second locaters on the second section to engage said tapered surface at second locations spaced about said axis,
- d) an indicator plunger on the second section to engage a shoulder on the first section as the two sections are relatively moved axially,
- e) whereby the amount of subsequent relative movement of the two sections prior to engagement of the second locaters with the work is an indication of work surface taper deviation from a predetermined taper,
- f) there being first radially adjustable members carrying the locaters on at least one section, said members being individually adjustable radially, and having radially outwardly exposed adjustable ends,
- g) said locaters on said at least one section having spherical surfaces to engage the work tapered surface.
