Abstract
A writing instrument for primary use within carpentry a body that extends from a distal end to a proximal end having a marking tip. The body has a substantially round cross-sectional shape and the marking tip is offset from a center of the cross-sectional shape. The round shape can non-uniform, such as ovular or egg-shaped with the marking tip offset from the center of at least the length or the width thereof. The offset positioning of the marking tip relative to the outer surface of the body provides clearance to scribe a building material.
Claims20
A writing instrument, comprising:
- an elongate body extending in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end, the body including an outer circumferential wall having a cross-sectional shape defining a length L in a first direction between opposite edges that therebetween define the longest extent of the cross-section and a width W in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- a marking tip at the distal end at a position offset from a center point of at least one of the length L and the width W, wherein
- the length L and width W are constant along the circumferential wall in the axial direction.
A writing instrument, comprising:
- an elongate body extending in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end, the body including an outer circumferential wall having a non-uniform cross-section in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the cross-section having a width W and a length L that is not equal to the width W;
- and
- a marking tip at the distal end of the body extending linearly through the distal end of the body in the axial direction, wherein
- the marking tip is offset from a midpoint along at least one of the width W and length L, and
- the length L and width W are constant along the circumferential wall in the axial direction.
A writing instrument, comprising:
- an elongate body extending in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end, the body including an outer circumferential wall having a substantially round cross-sectional shape;
- and
- a marking tip at the distal end of the body extending linearly through the distal end in the axial direction, wherein
- the marking tip is at a position offset from a center of the round cross-sectional shape, and
- the cross-sectional shape is constant along the circumferential wall in the axial direction.
