Patents by Inventor Douglass Constable

Douglass Constable has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • ROTATIONAL ELECTRICAL PROBE
    Publication number: 20240110941
    Abstract: A probe device has a main body and a probe body with different joints, where each joint rotates along different rotatable directions relative to one another. A user of the probe device may rotate the probe body relative to the main body along two separate rotatable axes to reach behind areas that are difficult to reach into using a probe device without rotatable components.
    Type: Application

  • Electrical probe
    Patent number: 11320462
    Abstract: A probe device has a main body and a probe body that can be rotatable relative to one another to change a shape of the probe device. This allows a user to use the probe device with the rotated probe body to reach behind areas that are difficult to reach into when the probe body is not rotated. The probe device could also have both a probe connector and an inductive clamp, where the probe connector could be used to measure a voltage of a conductive surface of an electronic circuit under test and the inductive clamp could be used to inductively measure a current flowing through a wire of an electronic circuit under test. The probe device is preferably configured with a grip configured to open and close the inductive clamp and a user interface positioned opposite the grip.
