Abstract:
A feature dimension transfer tool which includes a longitudinal body with a longitudinal axis and a flat surface, a first cylinder with a longitudinal axis, the first cylinder being attached next to the flat surface of the longitudinal body and the longitudinal axis of the first cylinder being substantially parallel to the flat surface of the longitudinal body and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body. A carriage is slideably mounted on the longitudinal body and a second cylinder with a longitudinal axis is mounted on the carriage, next to the flat surface of the longitudinal body. The longitudinal axis of the first cylinder is substantially parallel to the flat surface of the longitudinal body and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body. The device serves to measure the dimension of a feature on a workpiece by allowing the user to place the flat surface of the longitudinal body over the feature to measured and then bringing the cylinders into contact with the surfaces next to the feature to be measured. The dimension of the feature may then be calculated by using the tangential relationship of the cylinders and the flat surface of the longitudinal body.
