Patent ID: 7506453

Claim:
A hand tool orientation device, comprising: a housing of the orientation device; at least one direction sensor attached to the housing; at least one alarm in operable communication with the at least one direction sensor, for transmitting an alert in response to the at least one direction sensor sensing a direction beyond at least one selectable direction limit; a clamp for releasably attaching the device to a hand tool; and a knob in operable communication with the at least one direction sensor such that rotation of the knob alters the selectable direction limit; a threaded shaft in operable communication with the knob such that rotation of the knob causes rotation of the threaded shaft; a plate in operable communication with the threaded shaft such that rotation of the threaded shaft causes the plate to move along the threaded shaft thereby altering an angle of actuation of the at least one direction sensor; and at least one tubular member in operable communication with the plate such that movement of the plate causes deformation of the at least one tubular member.
