Abstract
A tool includes a first body portion having opposite first and second recesses facing toward one another about a space, wherein the opposite first and second recesses are configured to contact opposite sides of a first component disposed in the space. The tool includes a second body portion configured to rotate relative to the first body portion, wherein the second body portion is configured to contact a reference surface relative to the first component. The tool further includes an angle meter configured to measure an angle of the first component based on an angular position of the second body portion relative to the first body portion.
Claims20
A tool, comprising:
- a first body portion having opposite first and second recesses facing toward one another about a space, wherein the opposite first and second recesses are configured to contact opposite sides of a first component disposed in the space;
- a second body portion configured to rotate relative to the first body portion, wherein the second body portion is configured to contact a reference surface relative to the first component;
- and
- an angle meter configured to measure an angle of the first component based on an angular position of the second body portion relative to the first body portion.
A tool, comprising:
- a first body portion having opposite first and second recesses facing toward one another about a space, wherein the first body portion comprises first and second arm portions configured to move relative to one another to adjust a distance between the first and second recesses;
- a second body portion configured to rotate relative to the first body portion;
- and
- an angle meter configured to measure an angle based on an angular position of the second body portion relative to the first body portion.
A method, comprising:
- positioning a first body portion having opposite first and second recesses facing toward one another about a space, such that the opposite first and second recesses contact opposite sides of a first component disposed in the space;
- rotating a second body portion relative to the first body portion to contact a reference surface relative to the first component;
- and
- measuring, via an angle meter, an angle of the first component based on an angular position of the second body portion relative to the first body portion.
