Abstract: A mount for mounting a measuring instrument, such as an electronic measuring transducer. The mount includes a spring operated clamp assembly for attaching the mount to a first part with a reference surface engaging a desired location on the first part. In one embodiment, the clamp assembly grips the first part between a clamp member and a clamp portion. The mount has an unclamping member which may be operated with one hand to selectively open the clamp. In another embodiment, the clamp assembly includes a first clamp member and a second clamp member urged by a spring relatively away from the first clamp member, each of the first and second clamp members having a grip by which the first and second clamp members may be urged together then selectively released to clamp the mount in a gap between the first part and a second part.

Abstract: A device for measuring the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of two adjacent parts, and simultaneously measuring the contour between outwardly facing surfaces of the parts. A gap measuring element is mounted to be movable along a first path relative to a first reference member carried by the main body. The first reference member is selectively engagable with one of the parts. The gap measuring element is insertable into the gap for engagement with the other of the parts. The gap measuring element is coupled to a transducer for generating a signal representative of the relative position of the gap measuring element along its path. The signal is proportional to the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of the parts. Additionally, a contour measuring element is mounted to be movable along a second path relative to a second reference member carried by the main body. The second reference member is selectively engagable with the outwardly facing surface one of the first and second parts.

Abstract: A device for measuring the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of two adjacent parts, and simultaneously measuring the contour between outwardly facing surfaces of the parts. The device is preferably hand-held, and has a main body with a gap measuring element supported relative to the main body. The gap measuring element is mounted to be moveable along a first path relative to a first reference member carried by the main body. The first reference member is selectively engagable with one of the parts. The gap measuring element is insertable into the gap for engagement with the other of the parts. The gap measuring element is coupled to a transducer for generating a signal representative of the relative position of the gap measuring element along its path. The signal is proportional to the gap between the opposed facing surfaces of the parts. A contour measuring element is also supported relative to the main body.

Abstract: A continuous air flow probe transducer gage assembly which is configured to permit a continuous selectively controlled flow of air therethrough so as to selectively actuate a spring-biased air piston probe slidably mounted therein from its retracted rest position into its extended soft contact measuring position against a part being measured. The continuous air flow probe transducer assembly is adapted to be a part of a computer controlled system whereby several variable air flow modes are delivered therethrough so that selective rest position air flow modes, high volume air flow calibration modes and operative soft contact air flow measuring modes are used to actuate the probe transducer in its operative use environment.
