ABSTRACT:
The checking fixture includes a pair of opposed gaging fingers drivingly interengaged so as to be moved together to engage a workpiece, with a simplified arrangement for manipulating the position of both the gaging fingers with a single control knob, insuring a uniformly applied gaging pressure for urging the gaging fingers into contact with the workpiece while compensating for eccentric location of the workpiece in the gage. Rotation of a control knob assembly in one direction causes opening of the upper and lower gaging fingers, the assembly allowing a "stay-open" positioning of the gaging fingers in any adjusted open position. The control knob assembly is reversely rotated to close the fingers, with controlled release of the rotary connection between the central knob and ratchet gear and the pinion gear or spool upon contact of the upper finger with the workpiece at which point a gaging pressure exerted upwardly on the lower finger urging the same into engagement with the workpiece solely by a counterweight upward force.
