  • Publication number: 20060198280
    Abstract: A tone arm having one end attaches to a phonograph cartridge and the other end is a threaded rod. The tone arm has a flexible string suspension for horizontal and vertical movements. The suspension string has an upper end attached to an upper member of a frame and a lower end attached to a sleeve. The sleeve can translate and rotate lengthwise on the threaded rod end of the tone arm. The sleeve is fixed on the tone arm by means of a jam nut. The sleeve has a magnet attached to it. This magnet interacts with an opposing magnet suspended by a string within a sealed viscous liquid filled container locating on the upper member of the frame. The tone arm has a counter weight system attaches to the threaded rod end. The counterweight system consists of a second sleeve, a bar having an opening area to engage with the sleeve and a weight on opposite end. The sleeve has internal threads that engage with the threaded rod of the tone arm. The sleeve also has a groove on its outer diameter that accepts the bar.

  • Patent number: 5020231
    Abstract: A wheel alignment device comsists of a pair of identical tools. Each has a protractor with teeth mesh with a graduted gear at which an indicator points at. A string connects the protractors' centers. An equivalence has a protractor with teeth mesh with a gear which meshes with a sleeve or worm gear travels on a bolt and along a scale. As the sleeve rotates around the bolt it turns the gear and the protractor. A string connects the protractors' centers. The tools above are located on a plane parallel to the wheel's axle and perpendicular to the vertical line for toe angle measurements. The tools above are located on a plane parallel both to the wheel's axle and the vertical line for camber measurement only or replacing the connecting string by attaching a plumb line to the center or a level vial to the zero mark of the protractor for both camber and caster measurements.
