Patent ID: 7717666

Claim:
A hand-held manipulator comprising: a tubular shaft; an operator end coupled to said tubular shaft and comprising a first spool rotatably coupled to said operator end; an effector comprising an attachment end that includes a second spool rotatably coupled to said attachment end; a cable comprising a first end and a second end, said first end slidably coupled within a first aperture defined in said tubular shaft and coupled to said effector, said second end accessible at said operator end; at least one inspection device operatively coupled to said second spool such that said at least one inspection device moves with said second spool and is rotatable with said second spool in a first direction away from a center axis of said tubular shaft, and is rotatable away from the center axis in a second direction that is opposite the first direction; and a control cable channeled through said shaft from said first spool to said second spool, said control cable wound at least partially around said first spool, said control cable wound at least partially around said second spool such that rotation of said first spool rotates said second spool using said control cable.
