  • Publication number: 20090146028
    Abstract: An elevating display device for the worktable of a manual planer includes a driving unit assembled at one side of a movable worktable and provided with a fixed rod fitted with a sliding sleeve to be moved together with the worktable. The sliding sleeve is fixed with an engaging plate having one side disposed with engaging teeth so that when moved by the sliding sleeve, the engaging plate can actuate an interacting unit at the front side of the driving unit to move. The interacting unit includes a graduated dial having its circumference disposed with signal sets preset in number, and a gear engaged with the engaging teeth of the engaging plate. A sensing-and-reading head engaged on the circumference of the graduated dial functions to sense a signal of the signal sets and transmit the signal to a display member for indicating an adjusted numerical value of the height of the worktable.
