Abstract
A system comprises at least one layout member configured to be mounted at a site where the layout member includes measurement graduations thereon and is configured to be marked with a marking implement and a template mounted to the layout member and selectively slidable along the layout member to a selected graduation corresponding to at least one coordinate of an installation site for installation of equipment. The template includes one or more apertures. The apertures permit passage of a marking implement to mark the at least one coordinate of the installation site on the layout member.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a first layout member having a first template slidably mounted thereto configured to be mounted at a site, the first layout member including measurement graduations thereon, the layout member configured to be marked with a marking implement;
- a first template mounted to the first layout member and selectively slidable along the first layout member to a selected graduation corresponding to at least one coordinate of an installation site for installation of equipment, the first template including one or more apertures, the apertures permitting passage of a marking implement to mark the at least one coordinate of the installation site on the first layout member;
- and
- a second layout member having a second template slidably mounted thereto.
A system, comprising:
- a first layout member configured to be mounted at a site, the first layout member including measurement graduations thereon, the first layout member configured to be marked with a marking implement;
- a first template mounted to the first layout member and selectively slidable along the first layout member to a selected graduation corresponding to an x coordinate of an installation site for installation of equipment, the first template including one or more apertures, the apertures permitting passage of a marking implement to mark the x coordinate of the installation site on the first layout member;
- a second layout member configured to be mounted at a site, the second layout member including measurement graduations thereon, the second layout member configured to be marked with a marking implement;
- and
- a second template mounted to the second layout member and selectively slidable along the second layout member to a selected graduation corresponding to a y coordinate of an installation site for installation of equipment, the second template including one or more apertures, the apertures permitting passage of a marking implement to mark the y coordinate of the installation site on the second layout member.
A method for identifying a targeted location within a site, comprising:
- positioning first and second layout members relative to a site, each of the first and second layout members having measurement graduations extending therealong;
- moving a first template mounted to the first layout member to a position corresponding to a first coordinate of a target location within the site;
- forming a first mark, via the first template, on the first layout member at the first coordinate of the target location;
- moving a second template mounted to the second layout member to a position corresponding to a second coordinate of the target location within the site;
- forming a second mark, via the second template, on the second layout member at the second coordinate of the target location;
- and
- utilizing the first and second marks to identify the target location.
