Abstract: An instrument for the measurement and verification of linear dimensions includes a body equipped with external and internal feelers, a perch mounted in a slideway in the body and equipped with external and internal feelers cooperating with those of the body, and independent depth gauge mounted in a second slideway of the body, and a feeler rod mounted in a third slideway of the body, and cooperating with a contact piece fastened with an inner face of the external feeler of the perch. A movable member of a measurement transducer is selectively connected to the perch, to the gauge and to the feeler rod by a selective coupling device. In turn, a display device with zeroing control is connected to the measurement transducer.

Abstract: A hand-held interior gauge for measuring a bore includes a body provided with a measuring head capable of being introduced into the bore, and a measuring transducer connected to a movable feeler and adapted to produce output signals representative of the displacement of the movable feeler. The gauge also includes a mechanism for immobilizing the measuring head while in the bore, such that the feeler is movable angularly and radially in a surface limited by a circumference contained in a plane perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the bore, once the measuring head is immobilized. A driving mechanism forming a portion of the interior gauge coordinates the angular and radial movement of the movable feeler, and the output signals from the feeler are provided to a calculator which, in turn, provides intelligence information to an automatic display device for displaying the diameter of the bore.

Abstract: An adjustable fork gauge including a main body having a slide on which a first, fixed jaw is slidably and adjustably mounted and formed from a block having an anvil with a plane face integral with said block; a second, spring clamping jaw adapted to press a plane or cylindrical portion of a part to be measured on the anvil of the fixed jaw; a feeler rod for the part to be measured including a contact adapted to emerge from the clamping jaw and displaceably mounted for translation in a bearing of the body such tha the axis of said feeler rod is perpendicular to the plane of the anvil of the fixed jaw; and a measuring or indicating transducer coupled to the body and having a movable element connected to the feeler rod.

Abstract: In a micrometer head for an instrument for measuring internal dimensions there is included a casing in which at least one measurement contact piece having an inclined base is radially mounted in a slot or groove. The contact piece is driven by the axial displacement of a measuring cone and is maintained in contact with the inclined lateral surface of the cone by means of a return member. The axial displacement of the measuring cone, the base of which is guided in an axial cylindrical recess of the casing, is effected by the thrust of a spindle which has a micrometer screw mounted thereon, the screw being engaged in a threaded member connected to the casing. The cone and spindle have coaxial axes of rotation, and the cone, spindle and micrometer screw are so arranged that the path of movement of the inclined base of the contact piece on the cone is in the form of a tapered ramp having a long length and shallow inclination, the movement being caused by the combined axial and rotational movement of the cone.

Abstract: A measurement instrument in the form of a plug gage comprises a tubular body within which there is centered an axially movable rod, one end of which is intended to transmit the axial movements of said rod to a transducer system connected to the tubular body, while the other end thereof bears a conical part coaxial with said rod, with the lateral surfaces of the conical part resting against radially movable feeler balls, each of which is housed in a guide channel transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body. The plug gage is characterized in that the tubular body bears over at least a portion of its length a coaxial centering sleeve which is removable and interchangeable, this sleeve being provided with transverse openings intended to permit the passage of the balls.

Abstract: A centering and measuring head for measuring machines, comprising a tubular body in which a piston is slidably mounted and subjected to the continuous action of biassing means, at least two centering contact pieces mounted to pivot on shafts provided in the body tangentially on an imaginary circle concentric with the axis of the piston, the movements of the said centering contact pieces being controlled by the said piston, and means for monitoring the displacements of the piston against the action of the biassing restraining element.
