Abstract
A graphic alignment tool and a method of using the same are disclosed. The graphic alignment provides for a placement of a graphic on a substrate. The graphic alignment tool includes a T-shaped center bar having a base vertically disposed and a collar plate laterally disposed at a top end of the base. A width bar is dimensioned to laterally extend across a width of the substrate. A rod is configured to be received in each of the slot and the alignment slot to slidably retain the width bar in a squared orientation relative the T-shaped center bar. A logo grid may also be provided for alignment of a graphic on a chest area of the substrate. The logo grid may be slidably retained with the T-shaped center bar via a rod and a grid slot defined in the logo grid.
Claims9
A graphic alignment tool for positioning a graphic on a substrate, comprising:
- a T-shaped center bar having a base vertically disposed and a collar plate laterally disposed at a top end of the base, a slot defined along a longitudinal length of the base;
- a width bar dimensioned to laterally extend across a width of the substrate, an alignment slot defined at a midpoint of the width bar and extending transversely across the width bar;
- a rod configured to be received in each of the slot and the alignment slot to slidably retain the width bar in a squared orientation relative the T-shaped center bar;
- a logo grid having an alignment grid disposed on a surface, and at least one grid slot defined along a vertical orientation of the logo grid;
- and
- at least one grid alignment rod, configured to be received in each of the slot and the grid slot to slidably retain the logo grid in a squared orientation relative the T-shaped center bar.
A method of placing a graphic on a substrate, comprising:
- placing a graphic alignment tool on the substrate, the graphic alignment tool having a T-shaped center bar, a base vertically disposed, a collar plate laterally disposed at a top end of the base, and a slot defined along a longitudinal length of the base;
- placing a rod in the slot;
- slidably joining a width bar, dimensioned to laterally extend across a width of the substrate, by receiving the rod in an alignment slot defined at a midpoint of the width bar and extending transversely across the width bar;
- sliding the width bar along the longitudinal length of the base to obtain a desired placement of the graphic on the substrate;
- and
- slidably joining a logo grid with the base of the T-shaped center bar via a grid rod received in the slot and at least one grid slot defined in the logo grid.
