ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which integrates the remote positioning and operation of hand-held tools. The apparatus has a base and an elongated tube which is connected to the base at one of its ends via a pivot. The tube has a spirally grooved interior surface. The other end of the tube is adaptively engaged to a threaded elongated cylinder of similar manufacture to the tube. The cylinder can be screwed or rotated in and out of the tube by the use of a screw turn. While one end of the cylinder is engaged to the tube, the other end is connected to a seat that holds the tool. The tool is held in place on the seat either by seat design or by use of a clamp. The seat-cylinder connection may be modular to permit the seat to be changed as required. The operation of the tool, the pivot and the screw turn are controlled by a power control panel located either on the base or the tube of the apparatus. The apparatus thus permits a worker to operate the tool and position the tool, via the movements of the pivot-tube action and the cylinder-tube action, while the tool is at a remote distance.
