Abstract
A speed square is provided including a triangular flat plate having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, a T bar affixed to, and extending along, the length of a first side of the triangular flat plate, and an extension element hingedly connected to an end of second side of the triangular flat plate opposite the T bar. The extension element having measurement markings indicated on at least one face, such that the measurement markings of the triangular flat face continue on the extension element.
Claims20
A speed square comprising:
- a triangular flat plate having measurement markings indicated on at least one face;
- a T bar affixed to, and extending along, a length of a first side of the triangular flat plate;
- an extension element operably coupled to a first end of a second side of the triangular flat plate opposite the T bar, the extension element having measurement markings indicated on at least one face of the extension element, such that the measurement markings of the at least one face of the triangular flat plat continue on the at least one face of the extension element;
- and
- a hinge configured to extend and retract the extension element between an open position and a stowed position, wherein the hinge couples a first end of the extension element to the first end of the second side of the triangular flat plate;
- wherein, in the stowed position, the extension element is disposed in a first plane that is adjacent and parallel to a plane of the triangular flat plate;
- and
- wherein, in the open position, the extension element is disposed in a second plane that is a same plane as the plane of the triangular flat plate.

A speed square comprising:
- a triangular flat plate having a first side, a second side, and a hypotenuse, the second side having first length measurement markings indicated thereon, and the hypotenuse having angle markings thereon;
- an extension element having second length measurement markings indicated thereon, such that the second length measurement markings continue from the first length measurement markings;
- and
- a hinge configured to extend and retract the extension element between an open position and a stowed position, wherein the hinge couples a first end of the extension element to an end of the second side of the triangular flat plate;
- wherein, in the stowed position, the extension element is disposed in a first plane that is adjacent and parallel to a plane of the triangular flat plate;
- and
- wherein, in the open position, the extension element is disposed in a second plane that is a same plane as the plane of the triangular flat plate.

A speed square comprising:
- a triangular plate comprising a first triangular plate face and a second triangular plate face, the triangular plate further comprising triangular plate measurement markings, the first triangular plate face being opposite the second triangular plate face;
- a T bar affixed to, and extending along, a length of a first side of the triangular plate;
- an extension element operably coupled to a first end of a second side of the triangular plate opposite the T bar, the extension element comprising a first extension element face and a second extension element face, the first extension element face being opposite the second extension element face, wherein the first extension element face or the second extension element face comprise extension element measurement markings, wherein the triangular plate measurement markings on the triangular plate continue with the extension element markings on the extension element;
- and
- a hinge configured to extend and retract the extension element between an open position and a stowed position, wherein the hinge couples a first end of the extension element to the first end of the second side of the triangular plate;
- wherein, in the stowed position, the first extension element face is in a same plane as the first triangular plate face;
- and
- wherein, in the open position, the first extension element face is in a same plane as the second triangular plate face.
