Digital angle meter

摘要

An angle measuring device or system can include a wrench or a bracket, for example, and a digital angle meter. The a wrench or bracket can include a head or head plate portion for engaging a nut, a bolt, or crankshaft, a central axis about which the wrench or bracket rotates during use, and a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the central axis. The digital angle meter can be attached to the wrench or bracket and include a housing, a processor, and at least one gyrometer. The at least one gyrometer including a first axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis for determining the rotational orientation of the wrench or bracket relative to a reference position.

主权项

1. A wrenching device, comprising:
a wrench comprising a head for engaging a nut or a bolt, a handle, and a stem extending between the head and the handle, the head having a central axis about which the wrench rotates during use, the handle for being grasped by a user, the stem and the handle extending along a common longitudinal axis of the wrench; a digital angle meter removably attached to the wrench, the digital angle meter comprising a housing, a processor, and at least one gyrometer electrically coupled to the processor, the at least one gyrometer including a first axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wrench and a second axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wrench, wherein the housing of the digital angle meter slidingly engages the wrench to allow for rotational displacement of the digital angle meter relative to the wrench about the longitudinal axis of the wrench.
