![]() ![]() an object of the present invention to provide a contour gauge of the type incorporating a plurality of rods arranged in side by side relationship in a holder or frame means and in which means are provided to adequately establish the requisite frictional restraint functions and which means are relatively nonwearing and functionally not affected by contaminating atem attraction to rods of steel or other magnetically suscep tible composition, to such degree as to provide a strong gripping action in drawing each rod to its prescribed stopping point, and a relatively Weak resistance to continued movement of the holder or frame means thereafter, so that the gauge is both accurate and easy to operate, permanently consistent, not susceptible to wear or other conditions which would deleteriously affect the functioning of frictional restraint materials generally and is of relatively light construction, because magnetic restraint does not require applied pressure to be effective, and structural provisions to withstand stresses produced by applied pressure are unnecessary.the unbraced span of the holder or frame means which in turn supports the rods will bow out or be deformed outwardly through its central portion and thus reduce pressure and resultant gripping capability therein to a lesser degree than is required, unless the holder or frame means provided is rigid enough to withstand such pressure without deforming.This frictional restraint must be such as to first grip each rod sufliciently to overcome opposing friction and draw it to its prescribed stopping point, and thereafter during continued movement of the holder the medium slides along each stopped rod until the last rod has reached its stopping point.the frictional restraint is that medium or material which links the holder, through which pressure is commonly applied, with the plurality of rods that are to be actuated separately.the invention further relates to that type of contour gauge in which a plurality of rod members of uniform length are slidably arranged in side by side relationship under a common frictional restraint in a holder or frame means whereby when the ends of the rods are pressed against an irregular surface, such as a piece of molding, by moving toward that surface, the contour of the surface will be duplicated.the present invention relates to a gauge device, more particularly to an improved gauge used to obtain duplicate contours, thatis, an accurate outline of the contour of irregular surfaces, for the purpose of reproducing such surfaces for fitting, matching, and other uses.G01B5/20- Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of mechanical techniques for measuring contours or curvatures. ![]() G01B5/00- Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of mechanical techniques.G01B- MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS MEASURING ANGLES MEASURING AREAS MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS.Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.)
