Abstract
A throttle valve linkage gauge comprising a gauge plate adapted to be connected to the pivot of a throttle valve lever. The gauge plate pivotally mounts a pointer arm near its center, one end of the pointer arm being adapted to be connected to the end of a throttle valve control rod, and the other end of the pointer arm having a pointer cooperating with reference indicia provided on the gauge plate to indicate proper alignment of the throttle valve lever pivot and the throttle valve control rod.
Claims5
A gauge for adjusting the position of a first attachment on a first member with respect to a second attachment on a second member comprising:
- a gauge plate carrying a pivot and having a first joint adapted to connect the plate to the first attachment, means to position and support the gauge plate with respect to a pin providing a surface on which the gauge plate can move with respect to said pin, and markings on the surface of the gauge plate spaced radially from the pivot defining angular ranges about the pivot;
- and
- a pointer rotatably connected to the gauge plate at the pivot having an indicator arm extending radially from the pivot and having a second joint thereon spaced radially from the pivot adapted to connect the pointer to the second attachment whereby the indicator arm points to the angular range markings according to the angular position of the second joint about the pivot.
