Abstract
A digital indicator 1 includes a body case (10), a spindle (30) provided to the body case (10), the spindle (30) being movable in an axial direction, a displacement detector (40) that detects a moving amount of the spindle (30), and a digital display (50) that digitally displays the moving amount detected by the displacement detector (40). The display surface of the digital display (50) is arranged on the body case (10) in an attitude substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the spindle (30) and deviated from the moving axis of the spindle (30).
Claims4
A digital measuring instrument comprising:
- a body case;
- a spindle provided to the body case, the spindle being movable in an axial direction of the spindle;
- a probe;
- a displacement detector that detects a moving amount of the spindle;
- and
- a digital display that digitally displays the moving amount detected by the displacement detector, wherein
- the body case has a box-like shape constructed by:
- a bottom wall;
- an upper wall, a lower wall and side walls which circumferentially extend from the bottom wall;
- and a front wall covering a distal side of the walls;
- the spindle is supported by the upper wall and the lower wall of the body case to be movable in the axial direction thereof and is projected to an outside of the body case from the lower wall;
- the probe is disposed on a projecting end of the spindle;
- and
- a display surface of the digital display is arranged on the upper wall of the body case in an attitude substantially orthogonal to the moving direction of the spindle and deviated from the moving axis of the spindle.
