A wheel holder (1) for clamping attachment to a wheel (9), in particular to a wheel (9) of a motor vehicle, and for attaching a target (5) for vehicle wheel alignment measurement, comprises a base body (10) having a central portion and at least two, in particular three, arms (22, 23, 24) extending radially outwards from the central portion of the base body (10). Each of the arms (22, 23, 24) has a movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) which is movable relative to the base body (10) in the radial direction in order to vary the length of the arm (22, 23, 24) in the radial direction; a pressure element (52, 53, 54), in particular a compression spring, which is arranged and adapted to push the movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) outward in radial direction; and a traction element (62, 63, 63) mechanically coupled to the moveble element (32a, 33a, 34a) and arranged and adapted to pull the movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) inward in radial direction. The wheel holder (1) further comprises a coupling element (60) that mechanically couples the traction elements (62, 63, 63) of the at least two arms (22, 23, 24) to each other.

The invention relates to a method for the electric control of a measurement stand (11) having a drive movement of at least one measurement probe (26) from an initial position (31) into a measurement position (32), in particular for the measurement of the thickness of thin layers in which a motor (34) is controlled for the drive movement of the measurement probe (26), said motor (34) moving a ram (23), to which the measurement probe (26) is fastened, back and forth via a drive device (35) at least for the implementation of a measurement, wherein before a first measurement with the measurement probe (26), a learning routine is carried out, and for the subsequent implementation of one or more measurements, the measurement probe (26) is transferred from the initial position (31) into the measurement position (32), and the drive path of the measurement probe (26) from the initial position (31) into the measurement position (32) is divided into a fast speed and, before the setting of the measurement probe (26) on the measurement object (14), a slow speed, wherein the number of pulses for the fast speed is reduced by the number of pulses for the slow speed, originating from the total number of the determined pulses of the drive path and the number of pulses for the drive path at the fast speed is a multiple of the number of pulses of the drive path at the slow speed.

A valve clearance measuring assembly includes a panel having a first side, a second side, a forward edge and a rearward edge. The forward edge is extendable between a valve tip and a rocker arm. The first and second sides of the panel each are planar and orientated planar with respect to each other. A head includes a central member and a pair of arms. The arms extend in a generally same direction with respect to each other to define a space between the arms. The panel is attached to the arms and traverses the space. The forward edge is in static communication with the arms such that the forward edge is in a linear configuration as the forward edge traverses the space.

Device and method for determining and comparing distances between balls in the game of bocce in which a marker block is magnetically attached to a measuring tape in a position corresponding to the distance between a first thrown ball and a target ball, and the tape with the marker attached is then used to compare that distance with the distance between a second thrown ball and the target ball to determine which of the two thrown balls is closer to the target ball.

A measurement device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a measurement device that measures a position of an annual part to be measured that is arranged at an opening edge of a hole formed in a member to be measured, and the measurement device includes: a probe that is displaceable in an axial direction; a holder that holds the probe; and a measurement instrument that measures displacement of the probe in the axial direction. The probe includes an inclined portion at an tip end of the probe, the inclined portion being inclined relative to a central axis of the probe at an angle equal to an angle defined between a central axis of the hole in the member to be measured and a horizontal plane in a state in which the member to be measured is mounted on the horizontal plane.
