Abstract
A digital sizing tool for obtaining tooling measurements and requirements comprising: a pair of fingers, where said fingers are adjoined at one adjoined end and create an opening at the opposite end; a flexible resilient means, where the flexible resilient means adjoins the pair of fingers; and a digital readout, where said digital readout provides a means to display a measured distance between the pair of fingers at the opening end and the digital readout attached to a measurement rod, where said measurement rod extends between the pair of fingers. In one exemplary embodiment, each finger may include at least one gripping surface. In another particular embodiment, the flexible resilient means includes a piston and spring assembly.
Claims8
A digital sizing tool for obtaining tooling measurements and requirements comprising:
- a. a pair of fingers, where said fingers are adjoined at one adjoined end and create an opening at the opposite end;
- b. a flexible resilient means, where the flexible resilient means adjoins the pair of fingers and said flexible resilient means includes a first piston and spring assembly, where said first piston and spring assembly adjoins the fingers at one end and a second piston and spring assembly, where said second piston and spring assembly adjoin the fingers at a midpoint of the fingers;
- and
- c. a digital readout, where said digital readout provides a means to display a measured distance between the pair of fingers at the opening end and the digital readout attached to a measurement rod, where said measurement rod extends between the pair of fingers and where said digital readout displays at least one of a metric reading and a standard reading.
