Abstract
A speed square is provided including a triangular flat plate having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, a T bar affixed to, and extending along, the length of a first side of the triangular flat plate, and an extension element hingedly connected to an end of second side of the triangular flat plate opposite the T bar. The extension element having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, such that the measurement markings of the triangular flat face continue on the extension element.
Claims19
A speed square comprising:
- a triangular element comprising a first side member, a second side member, and a hypotenuse member;
- wherein external edges of the first side member and the second side member form a right angle;
- the first side member, the second side member, and the hypotenuse member having surfaces that are coplanar and define a triangular element planar surface;
- and
- an extension element comprising an extension element surface;
- the extension element being hingedly coupled to the second side member at an end opposite the right angle such that the extension element is movable between an open position where the extension element surface is coplanar with the triangular element planar surface and a stowed position where the extension element surface is positioned adjacent and parallel to triangular element planar surface.

- a first side member;
- a second side member;
- a third side member;
- and
- an extension element movably coupled to the second side member;
- wherein the first side member, the second side member, and the third side member are coupled to form a triangular shape;
- wherein a surface of each of the first side member, the second side member, and the third side member are coplanar to define a common plane;
- wherein the extension element is movable into a first position where a surface of the extension element is coplanar with the common plane and a second position where the surface of the extension element is not coplanar with the common plane.
