Patent number: 5841277Abstract: A probe, such as an eddy current probe, which can be moved by hand to a surface to be tested. A toroidal-shaped first resilient member contacts the bottom face of a support member. An elastic membrane extends over the bore of the first resilient member, contacts the bottom lateral surface of the first resilient member, and is unattached to the radially-inward-facing surface of the first resilient member. A more elastic, second resilient member is placed in the bore, is unattached to the first resilient member, and contacts the bottom surface of the elastic membrane. A flexible, surface-conformable, eddy current sensing coil overlies a portion of the bottom side of the second resilient member.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kristina Helena Valborg Hedengren, John David Young, Thomas Burrows Hewton, Carl Granger, Jr.
