Patent number: 5214856Abstract: A screw thread measuring device capable of measuring the physical parameters of internally or externally threaded parts comprising a base and slidable platform. Measuring segments are mounted to the base and platform, respectively. Gage mounts to the base and contacts the platform with plunger. To measure an externally threaded part, the externally threaded part is placed between base mounted measuring segments and platform mounted segment. The measuring segments are biased together. Plunger of the gage correspondingly moves with the platform to measure the displacement of the platform with respect to the base. The distance the platform moves is read out on the dial of gage. To measure an internally threaded part, the measuring segments are replaced with measuring segments designed for internally threaded parts. The threaded parts are inserted into the internally threaded part and the platform is biased away from base mounted segment.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1992Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Assignee: Morse Hemco CorporationInventor: John Masselink

Patent number: 5080619Abstract: Each of control boxes has an operation lever and an element moving together with the operation lever and a primary sensor for detecting the position of the moving element are arranged in each of the control boxes. A drive unit includes a motor, a movable rack driven by the motor and a secondary sensor for detecting the position of the moving rack. A control circuit serves to drive the motor to make any positional difference of the moving element and the movable rack zero. In a case where the position of the moving element does not coincide with that of the movable rack even after a predetermined time period goes by from when the rotation of the motor is started, current supply to the motor is temporarily stopped and then again started. When the control boxes are to be changed over from one to the other, this changeover is allowed only in a case where the control boxes which are to be changed over from one to the other and the drive unit are in neutral position.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1991Date of Patent: January 14, 1992Assignee: NHK Morse Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsumi Uchida, Yoshikazu Hoshina, Azuma Sasabuchi, Kazuhisa Matsumoto
