Abstract
Carpenter pencil caliper is a two-piece device that attaches to a carpenter's pencil with a scale, ruler imprint, or rule imprint on the carpenter's pencil wherein this three-piece assembly is then used as a caliper to measure the length, width, and/or height of a workpiece. This three-piece assembly may also be used to mark or scribe a line in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location and/or mark or scribe a specifically sized or measured circle in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location. The two-piece device is a specially designed and shaped to reversibly attach to a standard sized carpenter's pencil in order to perform the marking and/or scribing of the workpiece. A workpiece is a piece of building material such as wood, composite, or metal that is used to build a structure or a device.
Claims5
A carpenter pencil caliper comprising:
- a proximal component and a distal component, wherein
- said proximal component has a proximal end, a distal end, an imprint side, a workpiece side, a first side, and a second side,
- said proximal component comprises:
- an end socket;
- a first tab;
- and a second tab,
- said end socket is a rigid cup-shaped member, concave-shaped member, or socket-shaped member located at said distal end of said proximal component,
- said end socket has an inside width and an inside length, said inside width and inside length sized to fit onto a proximal end of a carpenter pencil,
- said first tab on said proximal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said first side of said proximal component,
- said first tab on said proximal component protrudes outward from said first side of said proximal component,
- said second tab on said proximal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said workpiece side said proximal component,
- said second tab on proximal component protrudes outward from said workpiece side of said proximal component,
- said distal component has a proximal end, a distal end, an imprint side, a workpiece side, a first side, and a second side,
- said distal component comprises:
- a mid-section socket;
- a first tab;
- a second tab;
- a third tab, and a carpenter's pencil cradle,
- said mid-section socket is a rigid C-shaped member, concave-shaped member, or cradle-shaped member located on said workpiece side of said distal component,
- said mid-section socket has an inside width and an inside length, said inside width and inside length sized to fit onto said carpenter pencil,
- said first tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said first side of said distal component,
- said first tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said first side of said distal component,
- said second tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said second side of said distal component,
- said second tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said second side of said distal component,
- said third tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said second side of said distal component,
- said third tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said second side of said distal component,
- said carpenter's pencil cradle is a groove, notch, nest, or cradle defined by said second tab on said distal component and said third tab on said distal component, and
- said second tab on said distal component is separated from said third tab on said distal component by a distance sized to make a fit with a second carpenter pencil.
