Abstract: A detent capture (26) is connected to the input shaft (16) of a position indicating transducer (10). A pair of leaf spring detents (24) are carried by a mounting base portion (14) of transducer (10). The leaf spring transducers (24) have at-rest positions in which they are received in, and interlock with, recesses (64, 66) formed in the detent capture (26). The leaf spring detents (24) serve to couple the detent capture (26), and hence the input shaft (16), to the transducer housing (12). This coupling occurs at a predetermined position in which the input shaft (16) is properly indexed to the electrical output of the transducer (10). The leaf spring detents (24) have outer end portions which contact a mounting member (22) as the transducer (10) is being installed onto the mounting member (22).

Abstract: A spring is continuously acting on an upper part adjustable in the height by a spindle for compensating the weight of the vertical adjustable parts. An additional compensating spring acts over a piston on the upper part. By means of a screw which can be screwed in a threaded hole, the piston can be coupled with the base which is not displaceable in the height so that the effect of the additional spring is cut off. Many compensating springs can be provided which, at choice, can be rendered effective or ineffective in order to compensate for different weights.
