ABSTRACT:
A motion and orientation sensor and measuring device has an electric circuit contact actuated by a body of conductive fluid on disturbance of the conductive fluid by gravity, vibration or otherwise. A ball and socket joint adjustably mounts a disk-shaped container for the fluid through attachment of the ball to a support which may be structure of the object guarded by the sensor. A releasable internal-expansion locking mechanism in the ball and actuable from above laterally contacts the socket and fixes the angular relation of ball-to-socket as desired, and numerical measurement features are provided.
