Abstract
Techniques for creasing a cover of a case are described herein. In an example, a creasing tool includes a first plate portion and a second plate portion substantially parallel to the first plate portion such that the first plate portion and the second plate portion define a slot between the first plate portion and the second plate portion for creasing a cover of a case.
Claims10
A creasing tool comprising:
- a first plate portion having a first edge and a first notched region at one end of the first edge;
- and
- a second plate portion having a second edge and a second notched region at one end of the second edge, the second plate portion parallel to the first plate portion such that the first plate portion and the second plate portion define a slot between the first edge of the first plate portion and the second edge of the second plate portion for creasing a cover of a case and the first notched region is directly opposite to the second notched region to provide a V-shaped guide to the slot for sliding a cover of a case first into the V-shaped guide and then into the slot.
A creasing tool comprising:
- a first plate having an edge;
- and
- a second plate having an edge, the second plate parallel to the first plate such that the edge of the first plate and the edge of the second plate define a slot between the first plate and the second plate;
- a first base portion coupled to the first plate such that the edge of the first plate overhangs the first base portion;
- a second base portion coupled to the second plate such that the edge of the second plate overhangs the second base portion;
- and
- a third base portion coupled to the first base portion and to the second base portion such that the first base portion, the second portion, and the third base portion define a channel substantially centered below the slot,
- wherein sidewalls of the channel are defined by the first base portion and the second base portion, and a bottom of the channel is defined by the third base portion, and
- wherein the channel is open at one end of the first plate, the second plate, the first base portion, and the second base portion such that a cover is slidable into the channel through the open end between the sidewalls of the channel and between the bottom of the channel and the slot.
