An angle trisector whose carjack configuration closely resembles the ratcheting portion of linkages which are fitted together in order to form an inverted T-shaped rigid framework in which the longitudinal centerline of the first linkage perpendicularly bisects the longitudinal centerline of the second linkage, the latter of which then would be considered to be its base;
- two additional side members, each of which is hinged about one of its span terminations of the side members, as located along the longitudinal centerline of the two additional side members, to a span termination of the second linkage, as located along the longitudinal centerline of the second linkage, so that their respective longitudinal centerlines are free to converge somewhere along the longitudinal centerline of the first linkage during conditions in which the angle subtended between the longitudinal centerline of one of the additional side members and that of the second linkage becomes varied in size from zero degrees to some acute angle design limit which becomes dictated by the shortest span of the two additional side members;
- a slotted linkage arrangement, as well as a miniaturized slider arrangement;
- wherein the slotted linkage arrangement is comprised of:
- a trisector solid linkage (58) which serves the function of such aforementioned base;

- a first dowel whose radial centerline is to be centered at either span termination of the given acute angle slotted linkage which, after becoming inserted through it, furthermore is to pass through a spacer, a span termination of the trisector solid linkage, a span termination of the control slotted linkage, a span termination of the given obtuse angle solid linkage, and then through the origin of the protractor strip, without extending beyond it, the that it can become permanently secured to it in some fashion in order to effectively hinge together those aforementioned components which become sandwiched in between the head of the first dowel and the protractor strip;
- a second dowel whose radial centerline is to be centered at the span termination of the transverse slotted linkage which resides away from the radial centerline of the hole already bored through it a distance which is equal to the span of the trisector solid linkage which, after becoming inserted through it, furthermore is to pass through the remaining span termination of the trisector solid linkage, without extending beyond it, the that it can become permanently secured to it;
- a third dowel which is to be inserted into the slot cut through the given acute angle slotted linkage, then into the slot cut through the transverse slotted linkage which resides in between the hole bored through it and its span termination which resides away from the radial centerline of the hole a distance which is equal to the span of the trisector solid linkage, whereby the slotted portion is not to encroach upon any hole which might become bored through the transverse slotted linkage, thereafter to be passed through a spacer, and finally through the slot afforded in the bisector slotted linkage where it thereafter can be permanently secured to a retaining ring which lies underneath them all;
- a fourth dowel whose radial centerline is to be centered at the span termination of the slide linkage, which, after becoming inserted through it, furthermore is to pass through the hole bored through the transverse slotted linkage, then through a spacer, and finally through the slot cut into the control slotted linkage in order that it lastly can be permanently secured to a retaining ring which resides underneath them;
- a fifth dowel which is to be inserted into the remaining slot cut through the transverse slotted linkage, then through the remaining span termination of the given obtuse angle solid linkage such that it finally can be permanently secured to it;
- and
- a shoulder screw (70) which can be inserted either:
- through the unused span termination of the control slotted linkage, and then screwed into a threaded hole located at the ninety degree reading of the protractor strip, or through the unused span termination of the given acute angle slotted linkage, and then screwed into a threaded hole located at the ninety degree reading of the protractor strip;
- and
- slider arrangement is comprised of:

- a second rivet whose radial centerline first is to pass through the span termination of the transverse linkage which resides away from the radial centerline of the hole bored through it a distance which is equal to the span of the trisector linkage, and then through a shim, next through the unused, or remaining span termination of the trisector linkage, thereby appearing after the term TRISECTOR imprinted upon it, and finally through a washer which it becomes pulled up inside of in order secure the components and also enable the transverse linkage to rotate freely with respect to the trisector linkage, each of which come into contact with opposing faces of the shim;
- a third rivet which first is passed through an overlapping portion of a slider in order to sandwich its head in between the overlapping portion and another portion of the slider which was wrapped around the bisector linkage, then through a shim, then through another overlapping portion of a slider which was wrapped around the given acute angle linkage, and lastly though yet another overlapping portion of a slider which was wrapped around a portion of the transverse linkage at some location in between its hole and span termination which resides a distance away from the radial centerline of the hole which is equal to the span of the trisector linkage, thereby becoming pulled up in a direction which is opposite to the manner in the previously described rivets were pulled up, and causing the longitudinal centerlines of the transverse linkage and given acute angle linkage to always converge somewhere along the longitudinal centerline of the bisector linkage whenever the device becomes articulated;
- a fourth rivet which first is passed through an overlapping portion of a slider in order to sandwich its head in between the overlapping portion and another portion of the slider which was wrapped around the control linkage, then through a shim, then through a span termination of the adjustment linkage, as located along its longitudinal centerline, then through another shim, and lastly through the hole bored through the transverse linkage, thereby becoming pulled up in the same direction as the fourth rivet which was described directly above;
- a fifth rivet which first is passed through an overlapping portion of a slider in order to sandwich its head in between the overlapping portion and another portion of the slider which was wrapped around the transverse linkage, then though the unused, or remaining span termination of the given obtuse angle linkage, thereby preceding the term GIVEN OBTUSE ANGLE imprinted upon it, and lastly through a washer where it then becomes pulled up;
- a sixth rivet which is passed through the control linkage, situated so that its radial centerline aligns upon the unused, or remaining span termination of the control linkage, along its longitudinal centerline, which furthermore had its rivet center pin removed after pull-up operations, thereby leaving a small hole which can be seen to pass entirely through the sixth rivet;
- a seventh rivet which is passed through the given acute angle linkage, situated so that its radial centerline aligns upon the unused, or remaining span termination of the given acute angle linkage, along its longitudinal centerline, hence being located at a position which appears after the term GIVEN ACUTE ANGLE which is imprinted upon it, which furthermore had its rivet center pin removed after pull-up operations, thereby leaving a small hole which can be seen to pass entirely through the rivet;
- and
- a pin (108) which can be inserted through one sleeve of the toploader where it aligns with the ninety degree reading of a protractor/instructions piece of paper that was inserted into it, and then is passed through either:
- the hole of the rivet that is retained by the control linkage, then through the ninety degree reading of the inserted protractor/instructions piece of paper, then out the other sleeve of the toploader where it becomes housed by a clutch which surrounds its sharp end, or the hole of the rivet that is retained by the given acute angle linkage, then through the ninety degree reading of the inserted protractor/instructions piece of paper, then out the other sleeve of the toploader where it becomes housed by a clutch which surrounds its sharp end.
