  • Patent number: 6546642
    Abstract: A head for the linear dimension checking of mechanical pieces including a casing, an arm carrying a feeler for touching a surface of the mechanical piece to be checked, a fulcrum, coupled to the casing and the arm, for enabling displacements of the arm with respect to the casing and a transducer for providing signals depending on the position of the arm with respect to the casing. The head has specific flexibility and modularity features, thanks to the possibility of operating from the exterior for adjusting and replacing various components. The transducer is of the inductive, half-bridge type, with multiple windings. An integral element for the electric connection to a processing unit includes the windings of the transducer, a cable and a connector, and the latter comprises a rapid locking/unlocking device. The ends of the cable are connected between the windings of the transducer and the connector by means of an over-molding process of a plastic material.

  • Patent number: 6269546
    Abstract: A gauging or measuring head for the linear dimension checking of mechanical pieces, including a casing (1), an arm (49) carrying a feeler (67) for contacting a piece to be checked, a fulcrum (74), coupled to the casing (1) and the arm (49), for enabling displacements of the arm (49) with respect to the casing (1), a return spring (95) for keeping the feeler (67) in contact with the piece during the checking, a device (98, 100) for retracting the arm (49) and a position transducer providing signals depending on the position of the arm (49) with respect to the casing (1). The fulcrum is made of a deformable element (74) including two coupling blocks (81, 83) and three laminae (75, 77, 79) permanently secured to the blocks (81, 83), and substantially arranged in two different planes of a sheaf of planes.

  • Patent number: 6014905
    Abstract: A display unit, connected to a measuring head, has a substantially right parallelepipedon shaped casing, considerably smaller in width with respect to length and depth, with a front face having dimensions corresponding to length and width, on which there are two display devices, substantially one analog and the other digital, placed adjacent to and arranged along the length of the front face. A programming and control keyboard is arranged at a base of the casing, and a device is associated with the casing for coupling the display unit, particularly small in overall dimensions in relation with functionality, to an external support.

  • Patent number: 5259121
    Abstract: An apparatus for the automatic and simultaneous checking of holes comprises plug gauge devices (11-16) with gauging heads (70, 71) and elements for coupling to a support. The coupling elements are substantially constituted by parallel shafts (29-32) displacing the gauging heads (70, 71) from a rest position to a measurement position, and vice versa, through rotational displacements automatically controlled by relevant actuation devices (60-65). The angular position of the shafts is detected by transducers (52-55), which are connected to a processing unit (58) also receiving the signals of the gauging heads (70, 71). The plug gauge devices comprise further heads (86-89) coupled to rotatable rods (82, 83) for simultaneously gauging diametral dimensions of a hole (10) communicating with the other holes (4-9) and transversal to them. The apparatus is particularly adapted for checking the holes of a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 4609235
    Abstract: A drawer for electrical cabinets comprises a frame and a front wall coupled to the frame and including at least one removable panel. In order to provide a modular, cheap and easily assemblable structure, the front wall supports elongated resilient coupling elements and the panel or panels have stop surfaces that can be coupled to the resilient coupling elements through a snap action by applying a front thrust to the panel, from the outside of the drawer.

  • Patent number: 4587961
    Abstract: An articulated bed is formed by articulated orientable sections and provided with adjustable devices for fixing the patient's legs thereto and causing the patient's feet to rest thereon. A linkage independently moves the patient's legs either in an extended condition or in a retracted condition. A linkage moves the patient's arms in a supine condition. The bed and the sections thereof are driven via rod-crank-cam assemblies.
