MEASURING DEVICE

摘要

Described herein are measuring devices that can be configured to determine a pre-set value of an object, for example, its center. The measuring devices described herein can comprise a reduced number of parts, making the devices less likely to malfunction and break down and decreasing manufacturing costs. In some embodiments, these devices can comprise a manually-operated primary moveable component, an automatically-operated intermediate component, a stationary base component and a cooperation mechanism allowing interaction of the various components. In some embodiments, these devices can continuously and automatically find the center of an object. In some embodiments, these devices can be operated with a single hand.

主权项

1. A measuring device, comprising:
a base component comprising at least one first jaw structure; a primary moveable component moveably connected to said base component, said primary moveable component comprising at least one second jaw structure; and an intermediate moveable component comprising at least a first stop face at least partially aligned with said at least one first jaw structure and a second stop face at least partially aligned with said at least one second jaw structure, said intermediate moveable component configured to move in response to movement of said primary moveable component.
