A multi-scale mechanism comprising a rotatable driving shaft; a first scale mounted along the axis of said rotatable driving shaft, said scale including first and second sets of coarse scale divisions for indicating a coarse range of magnitude in two different systems of units as a function of the position of said first scale with respect to said rotatable driving shaft; a second scale for indicating a fine scale range of magnitude in one of said systems of units; a third scale for indicating a fine scale range of magnitude in the other of said systems of units; said third scale operatively connected to said rotatable driving shaft; and a gear assembly connected between said second scale and said third scale having a predetermined gear ratio such that said second scale is caused to move at a different rate than said third scale.
A multi-scale mechanism comprising:
A multi-scale torque wrench comprising:
A method for adjusting a tool to a desired value in either of two different systems of units, said tool including a first scale having a first set of coarse scale divisions in one of the systems of units and a second set of coarse scale divisions in the other of the systems of units, for simultaneously providing a coarse range of magnitude in both of said systems of units, a second scale for indicating a fine scale range of magnitude for one of said systems of units, and a third scale for indicating a fine scale range of magnitude for the other of said systems of units, said third scale operative to move at a different rate than said second scale, and including a window for providing simultaneous viewing of a portion of each of said second and third scales, said method comprising:
