Abstract
Workpiece tools and techniques are described. In one example, a workpiece tool includes different side panels that provide surfaces for workpiece alignment. Further, a workpiece tool includes apertures that can align with a work surface such as a welding table. An adjustable tool is also described that includes a tool body and a slidable member that is slidable relative to the tool body. The slidable member, for instance, represents a measurement tool that can be used to measure object dimensions. Further, the tool body includes different side panels that are arranged to enable a variety of different usage scenarios such as include different positions of the slidable member relative to an adjacent object and/or surface.
Claims20
A workpiece tool comprising:
- a first side panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- a second side panel joined directly to the first side panel, the second side panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the exterior surface of the second side panel positioned at a first angled orientation relative to the exterior surface of the first side panel;
- a third side panel joined directly to the second side panel and joined directly to the first side panel, the third side panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the exterior surface of the third side panel positioned at a substantially right angled orientation relative to the exterior surface of the second side panel and positioned at a second angled orientation relative to the exterior surface of the first side panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the third side panel forming a triangular shape;
- a diaphragm connected perpendicular to at least portions of the interior surface of the first side panel, the interior surface of the second side panel, and the interior surface of the third side panel, the diaphragm including a first set of circular apertures that are sized and spaced relative to one another to align with a second set of apertures in an adjacent surface, and
- one or more corner portions positioned between one or more of the first side panel, the second side panel, or the third side panel, the one or more corner portions comprising one or more tapped holes configurated to accept a threaded object.
