Dimension-measuring column and method for entering a command to switch the measure mode in such a column
First Claim
1. Method enabling a command to switch the measure mode to be entered in a dimension-measuring column provided with a probe tip,wherein said command to switch the measure mode is entered by only making use of the position of said probe tip, wherein said command to switch the measure mode is entered by pressing the probe tip against a piece to be measured during a time interval greater than a predetermined value, wherein said mode switch command enables said measuring column to pass into a mode to search for the turn-back point of said piece to be measured.

Abstract
Method enabling a command to switch the measure mode to be entered in a single vertical axis dimension-measuring column. The mode witch command is entered by pressing the probe tip against the piece to be measured during a time interval greater than a predetermined value. The measuring and displaying system then engages in a search mode of the turn-back point of said piece to be measured.
Application: measurement of inner or outer diameters by means of a single-axis measuring column. The method allows the hole'"'"'s minimal and maximal points to be determined with a minimum of handling operations.

14. Dimension-measuring column, comprising:
- a probe tip designed for being brought into contact with the piece to be measured,
a displacement mechanism of said probe tip, a measuring and displaying system that allows the position of said probe tip to be determined and displayed, said measuring and displaying system being able to function according to several distinct modes, wherein at least one of said measure modes can be selected by acting on the position of the probe tip, without any other handling operating being necessary, wherein said measure mode can be selected by pressing the probe tip against the piece to be measured during a time interval greater than a predetermined value, wherein the measurement of the probing point is effected when the probe tip is pressed against said piece to be measured during a time interval shorter than said predetermined value, wherein said measure mode is a mode to search for the turn-back point of said piece to be measured. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. Method enabling a command to switch a measure mode to be entered in a dimensional-measuring column provided with a probe tip,
wherein said command to switch the measure mode is entered by means of deliberate handling operations of a height-command crank, wherein said command to switch the measure mode enables said dimension-measuring column to pass into a mode to search for a turn-back point of said piece to be measured.

26. Dimension-measuring column, comprising:
-
a probe tip designed for being brought into contact with a piece to be measured, a height-command crank for displacing said probe tip, a measuring and displaying system that allows the position of said probe tip to be determined and displayed, wherein a command to switch the measure mode is entered by means of deliberate handling operations of the height-command crank, wherein said command to switch the measure mode enables a measuring column to pass into a mode to search for a turn-back point of said piece to be measured.
