Abstract

There is provided a thin-bottom type bore gauge having damping unit between a gauge head and a head main body part, and a long life. A head part of a bore gauge includes a head main body part, a measurement spherical face at one end face, and a gauge head slidably provided by penetrating an inside and an outside of the head main body part. The gauge head a spring holding groove carved in a circumferential direction at the other end side, and a compression coil spring is interposed between the spring holding groove and an inside end face of the head main body part.

Claims (25)

1. A head part of an inside measuring instrument which measures an inside of a measurement target object, the head part comprising:

a head main body part; and

a gauge head which includes a measurement spherical face on one end face and is slidably provided by penetrating an inside and an outside of the head main body part, wherein

the gauge head includes a spring holding groove carved in a circumferential direction in the gauge head at the other end side of the gauge head opposite the measurement spherical face, and

a compression coil spring is positioned around the gauge head with an end of the compression coil spring being positioned within the spring holding groove, the compression coil spring being interposed between the spring holding groove and an inside end face of the head main body part.

2. The head part of the inside measuring instrument according to claim 1 , wherein

the compression coil spring includes a diameter which accepts the gauge head inside thereof, and

a diameter of an end turn part corresponding to the other end of the gauge head is smaller than other parts so as to be fitted on the spring holding groove.

3. The head part of the inside measuring instrument according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a rod which is movable in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the gauge head; and

a cam provided between the other end of the gauge head and the rod, and rotatably supported about an axis by the head main body part, wherein

end faces or wholes of the gauge head and the rod are ceramic.

4. A head part of an inside measuring instrument which measure an inside of a measurement target object, the head part comprising:

a head main body part;

a gauge head which includes a measurement spherical face on one end face and is movably provided by penetrating an inside and an outside of the head main body part, the gauge head including a spring holding groove carved in a circumferential direction in the gauge head at the other end side of the gauge head opposite the measurement spherical face;

a compression coil spring is positioned around the gauge head with an end of the compression coil spring being positioned within the spring holding groove, the compression coil spring being interposed between the spring holding groove and an inside end face of the head main body part;

a rod which is movable in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the gauge head; and

a cam provided between the other end of the gauge head and the rod, and rotatably supported about an axis by the head main body part, wherein end faces or wholes of the gauge head and the rod are ceramic.

5. An inside measuring instrument comprising a head part according to claim 1 .

6. The inside measuring instrument according to claim 5 , further comprising:

biasing means for biasing the rod in a direction toward a cam, wherein

biasing force of the compression coil spring is the same as biasing force of the biasing means or more, and

the head part further includes:

a rod which is movable in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the gauge head; and

the cam provided between the other end of the gauge head and the rod, and rotatably supported about an axis by the head main body part.
