  • Patent number: 6243661
    Abstract: A coating thickness gauge is provided with a facility to store one or more zero offset values and to automatically subtract a chosen zero offset value from a measured coating thickness value. The gauge may be used to conveniently determine the thickness of coatings applied to rough surfaces using the zero offset calibration method where the gauge is provided with a key or keys. In order to prevent accidental adjustment of the calibration or any other important operational parameter of the gauge said key or keys must be depressed and held for a predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 5135700
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for molding a product having internal threads includes a threaded mold core and a device for rotating the mold core about the axis of its threads and for axially withdrawing the core from the mold at a rate that is related to the rate of rotation, according to the pitch of the threads. This is accomplished by a cam, which is rotated in synchronism with the device that rotates the core, and a follower for displacing the core as the cam is rotated. The cam follower is fixed with respect to the mold. The cam and threaded core are positioned on a carrier, along with the device for rotating the core, such that rotation of the cam displaces the carrier away from the mold. The core is inserted into the mold, prior to the molding process, by displacing the carrier toward the mold without rotating the core.
