  • Patent number: 5488777
    Abstract: A small, portable, lightweight device enabling one person to quickly and accurately measure the angle of a utility line at a given pole consists of a protractor rotatable about a central axis divided into quadrants with a rotatable pointer mounted on the face having front and rear sights for visual alignment mounted upon a frame to which two perpendicularly oriented levels both disposed in a plane parallel to that of the protractor are also mounted. The frame has a vertical component from which a pair of positioning pins and a vertically offset plumb adjustment extend forward and are biased against a pole. The axis of one level is disposed parallel to the axis through the contact points of the two positioning pins with the pole and facilitates horizontal positioning of the pins against the pole which is maintained with manual biasing of the device against the pole.
