Adjusting device for making X-Y adjustments from a single point

摘要

An adjusting device for making x-y adjustments of a repositionable member from a single point includes first and second extendable members each defining an extension axis and including an extension rod, an extendable portion operatively attached to and adjustable relative to the extension rod along the extension axis to an extended length, and a clamping member attached to the extendable portion and configured to receive a rotatable member including the repositionable member. The clamping members define a rotation axis perpendicular to the extension axes and are lockable to prevent rotation of the rotatable member around the rotation axis. The adjusting device includes a synchronizing mechanism connected to the first and second extendable members and operable to simultaneously adjust the extended length of the first and second extendable portions such that the extended length of the first extendable portion and the extended length of the second extendable portion are equal.

1. An adjusting device for adjusting the position of a rotatable member, the adjusting device comprising:
first and second extendable members; wherein each of the first and second extendable members defines an extension axis and includes:
an extendable portion adjustable along the extension axis to an extended length;a clamping member attached to the extendable portion and configured to receive a rotatable member;wherein the clamping member is lockable to prevent rotation of the rotatable member relative to the clamping member; wherein the clamping members:
define a rotation axis perpendicular to the extension axes of the first and second extendable members; andare arranged such that with the clamping members unlocked the rotatable member received in the clamping members is rotatable about the rotation axis; and a synchronizing mechanism connected to the first and second extendable members and operable to simultaneously adjust an extended length of the first and second extendable portions such that the extended length of the first extendable portion and the extended length of the second extendable portion are substantially equal.
