Abstract An indicator gaging unit having a body member with a mounting shaft at its upper end for operative attachment to an indicator gage. A vertical bore is formed through the body member and the mounting shaft. A gage pin is slidably mounted in said bore and has an upper end adapted for operative engagement by an indicator stem and a lower end adapted for operative engagement with a workpiece. The gage pin is provided with an angular bore therethrough which is disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the gage pin. A pair of set screws are mounted transverse to the longitudinal axis of the gage pin and have cone ends which operatively engage the angular surface of said angular bore for adjusting the longitudinal movement of the gage pin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An indicator gaging unit comprising: a. a body member for operative attachment to an indicator gage; b. a vertical bore extended through said body member; c. a gage pin slibably mounted in said bore and having an upper end adapted for operative engagement by an indicator stem and a lower end adapted for gaging contact with an object; d. said gage pin having an angular bore therethrough disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the gage pin; and, e. set screw means operatively mounted in said body member and adapted to engage the angular surface of said bore for adjustably limiting the upward and downward travel of the gage pin in said bore and for moving the gage pin to adjust the initial position of the indicator stem so that the indicator gage reads zero.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
An indicator gaging unit as defined in claim 2, wherein: a. each of said set screws has a cone end operatively engaged with said bore angular surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
