Abstract

An adjustable angle marker system for pipe elbow joints is disclosed, providing an efficient and precise means of determining and marking angles for cutting 90-degree elbow joints, particularly at non-standard angles, eliminating the need for reference tables and angle calculations. An adjustable angle gauge is used to measure a desired angle at which to cut an elbow joint to properly join two pipe sections. The desired angle is transferred to a marking platform using the adjustable angle gauge set at the measured angle. The elbow joint is placed on the marking platform so that the angle marked on the marking platform properly aligns with a corresponding cut location on the elbow joint, which is marked on the elbow joint using a pipe marking device aligning the marked angle and the cut location.

Claims5

Dependent claims

An adjustable angle marker system for pipe elbow joints comprising:

an adjustable angle gauge with a base arm and an adjustable arm pivotally connected thereto, the adjustable arm being configured to be selectably affixed at a desired angle relative to the base arm, wherein a 90 degree elbow joint is to be cut at the desired angle in order to properly join the ends of two pipes oriented at the desired angle to each other;
a marking platform, configured to receive the adjustable angle gauge abutted thereto and configured to receive marking corresponding to the adjustable blade angle on a marking surface;
a pipe marking device configured to circumferentially delineate a cutting mark around the 90 degree elbow joint at the desired angle;
and
a base arm extension removably connected to the base arm, wherein the base arm extension is configured to extend the base arm in order to measure an oversized radius of the elbow joint.
