Abstract
An adjustable T square alignment device for providing enhanced flexibility while cutting drywall or other planar objects. The adjustable T square alignment device comprises a blade defining a rigid, elongated structural body having an integral elongated sliding slot, a head defining a rigid structural member having a wide base portion and a narrow sliding portion, and a fastening system operative to both secure the head to the blade, with the sliding portion positioned in the sliding slot, and fix the head at a desired lengthwise position on the blade. In this regard, the head may be selectively repositioned along the length of the blade by sliding it lengthwise but not moved angularly relative to the blade.
Claims6
An adjustable alignment device, comprising:
- a blade defining a rigid, elongated structural body having a proximal end bordered by a proximal edge, a distal end bordered by a distal edge, and a sliding slot which extends from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a head defining a rigid structural member having a base portion with a bottom surface and a narrow sliding portion with a top surface, wherein said sliding portion is sized to frictionally fit in the sliding slot such that when the sliding portion is positioned in the sliding slot, the head is coupled with the blade and the head is slidable lengthwise in a proximal direction or a distal direction along the blade but not moved angularly relative to the blade;
- and
- a fastening system adapted to secure the head to the blade when with the sliding portion is positioned in the sliding slot thereby fixing the head at a desired lengthwise position on the blade.
