Patent ID: 8341850

Claim:
A device for measuring anatomic angles, said device comprising: a pair of identical elongated arms each characterized by a flat top surface, a flat bottom surface, a pair of parallel opposing side surfaces, a semi-circular pivot end surface and an opposing free end surface, the semi-circular pivot end surface having a diameter equal to the distance between the pair of parallel opposing side surfaces; the elongated arms being pivotally connected to one another at a pivot point which is located at the origins of the semi-circular pivot end surfaces, with the flat top surface of one of the elongated arms slidably engaging the flat bottom surface of the other of the elongated arms; one of the elongated arms having degree markings formed thereon around the pivot point and the other of the elongated arms having a marker formed thereon to indicate an angle between the two elongated arms; and a pair of identical telescoping sleeves, one of the telescoping sleeves being mounted to the top surface of one of the elongated arms in alignment with the pivot point and telescoping relative to the free end surface of that elongated arm, and the other of the telescoping sleeves being mounted to the bottom surface of the other of the elongated arms in alignment with the pivot point and telescoping relative to the free end surface of that elongated arm; said device being sufficiently small and lightweight to allow ease of portability in a clothing pocket.
