For the purposes of measuring the configuration of cylinder bores, at least one measuring probe with a plurality of measuring sensors each having respective radially projecting sensing pins is introduced into the cylinder bore, without the sensing pins touching the cylinder bore, and the sensing pins are then brought into contact with the cylinder wall by relative displacement of the workpiece and the measuring probe with respect to each other. Thereupon the measuring head is fixed with respect to the workpiece and that fixing is maintained by means of a biasing force, whereupon, with the workpiece resiliently seated and with the measuring head decoupled from members which produced the advance movement thereof, the configuration of the cylinder bores is measured by sensing by means of the sensing pins on adjacent parallel circles. The apparatus has at least one measuring probe but preferably a plurality of measuring probes which are arranged in terms of number and position in accordance with the cylinder bores to be measured, the measuring probe or probes being associated with a measuring head which can be decoupled in the measuring position.

Method and apparatus for measuring the configuration of cylinder bores

An anchoring element for the securing of heavy plates or the like on an anchoring base, particularly for securing armoring elements or additional armoring to vehicles, includes a plate-shaped buffer body of a material that is elastically deformable to a limited extent, such as of rubber or a similar material, and two connecting elements which are rigidly connected with the buffer body and are held by the buffer body at a predetermined distance from one another. Of the connecting elements, which are movable with respect to one another within limits determined by the deformability of the buffer body, one is connectable with the plate to be mounted and the other with the anchoring base. Each of the connecting elements includes a floor metal sheet plate which has a thickness which is very small relative to its other dimensions. The floor metal sheet plates accommodate the buffer body between themselves and are connected with the latter over relatively large areas at the respective contact planes. The connecting elements further include respective holding metal elements that are connectable to the plate to be mounted and to the anchoring base, respectively. The floor metal plates and the holding metal sheet elements are provided with respective cooperating rapid-action coupling formations.

A suspension means for mounting an instrument or the like which is susceptible to shock on a movable carrier, in particular a vehicle, comprises a flexible sealing means adapted to absorb shocks in at least one direction and further comprises a blocking device for rigid coupling of said instrument with said carrier, the blocking device being actuable by a drive means which works in said one direction against the resiliency of the sealing means.

A running pad for an endless track is disclosed, including resilient retaining projections which extend away from opposite sides of the running pad and are adapted to enter into locking engagement, at their free ends, in recesses formed in the respective chain links. The retaining projections are formed by the ends of a unitary resilient plate that extends through said running pad and is designed to yield elastically in a direction toward and away from the recesses of the chain link in order to allow simple and quick assembly of the running pad at the chain link in a direction vertical to the tread surface without the need of disassembly of the chain link.

Running pad for an endless track

This invention relates to an endless track having chain links which are connected by connectors as well as rod members extending through the connectors. A connection between the connectors and rods is provided by clamping contact surfaces on the rods and connectors in abutment with other, at least one of said contact surfaces comprising at least one depression arranged around the circumferential area of the bolt or connector contact surface, whereby a friction lock preventing the bolts from moving axially and/or rotating with respect to the connectors is achieved.
