  • Device for holding an object during engraving that allows one or more degrees of freedom
    Patent number: 10023002
    Abstract: An engraving tool for allowing a craftsperson to engrave an object, such a ring or other jewelry, while allowing a discrete number of degrees of freedom but restricting all others. In an embodiment, an engraving tool includes a base portion coupled to a manipulator housing portion that is rotatably attached to the base portion such that the manipulator housing portion may be rotated in a first degree of freedom (e.g., rotated in a horizontal plane with respect to a vertical axis of the base portion). The engraving tool further includes a manipulator secured to the manipulator housing portion in a U-shaped socket such that the manipulator is configured to be rotated in a second degree of freedom (e.g., rotated in one particular vertical plane with respect to the horizontal plane). A ring holder is attached to manipulator and configured to secure a ring for engraving.
