Abstract

A device, worn on a part of the human body, which alerts the wearer when that body part deviates a set angular amount from true vertical, comprising a housing containing an attitude responsive switch which controls an electrical circuit. When the switch is positioned or rotated beyond a set angle, the circuit is completed and a battery activates a buzzer. The device is adjustable by rotation of the housing such that the amount of allowable deviation can be increased or decreased.
