Filed:

Jul 25, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/624981

Inventors:

Thomas H. Newman - Doylestown PA 18901

International Classification:

B23B 100

US Classification:

33641, 144225, 33628

Abstract:

A longitudinal gage fixture extends the entire length of the cutting blade and provides positively locked, parallel surfaces that uniformly and reliably set the proper height of the gage blade along its length while in a blade holder, In use, the device requires no frictional movement of the gage along the length of the blade, and adjustment of the blade may be achieved in an accurate, single-step process. The entire blade and holder assembly is positioned within the gage fixture and adjusting screwy at the base of the holder are accessed through apertures in a base plate of the gage fixture so that all necessary adjustments of the blade may be made with the holder insitu without any movement of the holder. Only movement of the blade within the holder is required during adjustment. Once properly adjusted, the tightening down of the blade may also be accomplished with the blade and holder still within the gage fixture.

Abstract:

A bank of counters is clocked at a relatively high repetition frequency by a clock oscillator. Each counter separately produces a sequence of digital signals which are transmitted at the clock oscillator frequency by a latch and a decoder/driver associated with the counter to a numeric display also associated with the counter. Consequently, the digital signals produced by each counter are separately displayed at the clock oscillator frequency. This frequency is sufficiently high to prevent recognition of a number on the display. A bank of manually operable momentary switches is associated with each latch. A brief audible tone is produced whenever a switch is operated. When operated, the switch temporarily disables the associated latch for a preselected interval of time. When disabled, the latch transmits only the digital signal currently stored in the latch to the display for the preselected interval of time. The preselected interval of time is sufficiently long to allow operator recognition of the number displayed.
