Abstract
A graph making device comprises an outer casing having an upper portion and a lower portion, a button placed inside an opening on the upper portion of the outer casing, a support member placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing, the support member having a top portion and a bottom portion, a spring placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing between the button and the support member, wherein the spring is engaged around a projection on the top portion of the support member, an ink pad placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member, and a graph stamp placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member and below the ink pad. The graph stamp is configured to produce a Cartesian graph on a graphing paper by pressing the button.
Claims16
A graph making device comprising:
- an outer casing having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- a button placed inside an opening on the upper portion of the outer casing;
- a support member placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing, the support member having a top portion and a bottom portion;
- a spring placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing between the button and the support member, wherein the spring is engaged around a projection on the top portion of the support member;
- an ink pad placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member;
- and
- a graph stamp placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member, and below the ink pad;
- whereby the graph stamp being configured to produce a Cartesian graph on a graphing paper by pressing the button.
A self-inked graph making device comprising:
- an outer casing having an upper portion and a lower portion, the outer casing further comprising a plurality of arms on a pair of opposing sides thereof, and a plurality of channels at the tip of each of the plurality of arms;
- a button placed inside an opening on the upper portion of the outer casing;
- a support member placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing, the support member having a top portion and a bottom portion;
- a spring placed inside the upper portion of the outer casing between the button and the support member, wherein the spring is engaged around a projection on the top portion of the support member;
- an ink pad placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member;
- and
- a graph stamp placed in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member, and below the ink pad;
- whereby placing the upper portion of the outer casing on a graphing paper with the graph stamp facing downward and pressing the button produces a Cartesian graph.
A method for assembling a graph making device, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing the graph making device to a user;
- (b) separating an outer casing of the graph making device to an upper portion and a lower portion thereof;
- (c) inserting a button inside a spring of the graph making device;
- (d) inserting the button and the spring into an opening on the upper portion of the outer casing;
- (e) inserting an ink pad in between a top portion and a bottom portion of a support member of the graph making device;
- (f) inserting a graph stamp below the ink pad and in between the top portion and the bottom portion of the support member of the graph making device;
- (g) inserting the support member carrying the graph stamp into the upper portion of the outer casing such that the spring engages with a projection on the top portion of the support member;
- and
- (h) attaching together the upper portion and the lower portion of the outer casing to form the graph making device.
