Abstract

An adjustable mounting for a dial gauge is provided with provision for fine adjustment through a rotating sleeve having an inclined end face bearing against the adjacent end of a mounting member on the support stem for the gauge. A bridging piece extending radially outward from the stem engages the inclined face and a spring urges the sleeve against the bridging member. The mounting member is held on the stem by a pivot pin extending transversely through the stem. Additional positioning adjustment is provided by a knuckle assembly with a spring between the support stem and a main support pillar with a single operating locking screw.
