Abstract
A tool for assessing the position of an indicator mark disposed on a seat of a vehicle. The tool includes an arm adapted to contact an anchorage and a plurality of lasers adapted to project a set of beams toward the seat. The set of beams define an area indicative of a desired location of the indicator mark.
Claims20
A tool for assessing a position of a indicator mark disposed on a seat of a vehicle, the tool comprising:
- an arm that receives an anchorage disposed proximate the seat;
- and
- a plurality of line generating lasers associated with the arm and adapted to project a set of beams toward the seat;
- wherein the set of beams define an enclosed area indicative of a desired location of the indicator mark.
A tool for assessing a position of a child restraint anchorage indicator mark disposed on a seat of a vehicle, the tool comprising:
- an arm having a slot configured to receive an anchorage;
- a set of lasers, each member of the set of lasers being adapted to project a beam;
- a mounting assembly adapted to receive the set of lasers and disposed proximate the arm;
- and
- a level disposed at a predetermined angle relative to the set of lasers;
- wherein the level indicates when the tool is positioned at a desired angle for projecting the beams.
A method for assessing a position of a child restraint anchorage indicator mark disposed on a seat of a vehicle with an assessment tool, the assessment tool having an arm adapted to engage an anchorage and a plurality of lasers adapted to project a set of linear beams, the method comprising:
- engaging the arm to the anchorage;
- positioning the tool at a predetermined angle;
- projecting the linear beams toward the seat;
- and
- determining whether the indicator mark is within an area defined by the linear beams.
