ABSTRACT:
The present invention is basically a device that can be used as a centering tool, clamp and/or a gauge for measuring the size of bores. The device is basically made up of six different components. The first being a housing. The housing has three pocket bores near it's top to take three spheres. These pockets are placed 120.degree. from each other. First a spring is placed into the housing. Next a large diameter sphere or conical plug is then placed into the housing. Then three smaller spheres are placed into the housing. These smaller spheres are adapted to fit into the machine pockets above mentioned. To operate you simply place the bore of the work piece over the locator and press down. One would know that the bore is precisely located when one hears or feels the three spheres snap into place. The device can also be used to measure the size of a bore by adding a measurement device to measure the position of the large sphere within the housing. The position of the large sphere within the housing tells how far the three smaller spheres extend in or out of the housing. Thus one can use the device to measure the size of a bore. One can also replace the spring with a solenoid or hydraulic fluid.
