Abstract
A torque wrench including an elongated beam having a first end and a second end, a drive post attached to the first end of the elongated beam, a handle attached to the second end of the elongated beam so that force applied to the handle transfers torque to the work piece, a scale attached to the second end of the elongated beam, and a laser source disposed on the first end of the elongated beam, the laser source being configured to direct a laser beam toward the second end of the elongated beam such that the laser beam strikes the scale.
Claims27
A torque wrench comprising:
- an elongated beam having a first end and a second end;
- a drive post attached to the first end of the elongated beam, the drive post being configured to attach to a work piece to transfer torque to the work piece;
- a handle attached to the second end of the elongated beam so that force applied to the handle transfers torque to the work piece;
- a scale attached to the second end of the elongated beam;
- and
- a laser source disposed on the first end of the elongated beam, the laser source being configured to direct a laser beam toward the second end of the elongated beam such that the laser beam strikes the scale.
A torque wrench comprising:
- an elongated beam having a first end and a second end, the first end being configured to attach to a work piece to transfer torque to the work piece and the second end being configured to be gripped by a user so that force applied to the second end transfers torque to the work piece;
- a scale attached to the elongated beam;
- and
- a laser source disposed on the first end of the elongated beam, the laser source being configured to direct a laser beam toward the second end of the elongated beam such that the laser beam strikes the scale.
A laser beam assembly for use with a torque wrench including a drive post at a first end, a grip handle at an opposite second end, and a scale, the laser beam assembly comprising:
- a laser source disposed on the first end of the torque wrench, the laser source being configured to direct a laser beam toward the second end of the torque wrench such that the laser beam strikes the scale.
