Abstract
A corner gauge for use in the construction of corners comprises a corner moulding (1), an extension arm (2) and a spirit level (3). The corner moulding (1) provides a predetermined internal angle a at an apex (6) and means for attachment to the extension arm (2) and the spirit level (3) to provide a corner gauge. Various mouldings providing different angles can be used to construct a corner with a particular angle. The spirit level (3), may be integrated into the moulding (1) for convenience and further spirit levels may be attachable thereto for increased accuracy. The extension arm (2), may also be substituted for a spirit level. A kit can be provides with a series of mouldings (1) with different predetermined angles, plus a spirit level (3) and extension arm (2).
Claims24
A corner gauge for use in the construction of corners comprising a moulding having a first and a second shoulder portion joined at an apex to define a predetermined angle, the first shoulder portion extending into an integrated arm, wherein the arm comprises a spirit level.
A corner gauge according to any preceding claim, wherein the second shoulder portion is adapted for attachment to an extension arm.
A kit of parts for a corner gauge for use in the construction of corners comprising:
- a series of mouldings each having a first and a second shoulder portion joined at an apex to define a predetermined angle, the first shoulder portion being adapted for attachment to a spirit level and the second shoulder portion being adapted for attachment to an extension arm;
- a spirit level;
- and
- an extension arm;
- wherein each of the predetermined angles of the mouldings provides a different angle.
A series of angled mouldings at least one of which has a predetermined inclined angle other than 90°, each moulding including an end adapted for attachment to a corresponding end of a spirit level, the spirit level being of box section, each of the angled mouldings being used as an angled gauge in the construction of walls.
