Abstract
A dial gauge case, which has a bottom and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom, the bottom and the peripheral wall defining a recess for accommodating a dial gauge mechanism therein. The peripheral wall is provided with a pair of bearings for slidably supporting a spindle of the dial gauge. The peripheral wall and the pair bearings are formed together as a one-piece molding of a plastic material. With the peripheral wall and the bearings formed together as a one-piece molding, the number of dial gauge components can be reduced, and the operation of assembling the dial gauge is simplified.
