Abstract

Carpenter pencil caliper is a two-piece device that attaches to a carpenter's pencil with a scale, ruler imprint, or rule imprint on the carpenter's pencil wherein this three-piece assembly is then used as a caliper to measure the length, width, and/or height of a workpiece. This three-piece assembly may also be used to mark or scribe a line in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location and/or mark or scribe a specifically sized or measured circle in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location. The two-piece device is a specially designed and shaped to reversibly attach to a standard sized carpenter's pencil in order to perform the marking and/or scribing of the workpiece. A workpiece is a piece of building material such as wood, composite, or metal that is used to build a structure or a device.

A carpenter pencil caliper comprising:

a proximal component and a distal component, wherein
said proximal component has a proximal end, a distal end, an imprint side, a workpiece side, a first side, and a second side,
said proximal component comprises:
an end socket;
a first tab;
and a second tab,
said end socket is a rigid cup-shaped member, concave-shaped member, or socket-shaped member located at said distal end of said proximal component,
said end socket has an inside width of 0.2 to 0.4 inches,
said end socket has an inside length of 0.4 to 0.7 inches,
said first tab on said proximal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said first side of said proximal component,
said first tab on said proximal component protrudes outward from said first side of said proximal component,
said second tab on said proximal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said workpiece side said proximal component,
said second tab on proximal component protrudes outward from said workpiece side of said proximal component,
said distal component has a proximal end, a distal end, an imprint side, a workpiece side, a first side, and a second side,
said distal component comprises:
a mid-section socket;
a first tab;
a second tab;
a third tab, and a carpenter's pencil cradle,
said mid-section socket is a rigid C-shaped member, concave-shaped member, or cradle-shaped member located on said workpiece side of said distal component,
said mid-section socket has an inside width of 0.2 to 0.4 inches,
said mid-section socket has an inside length of 0.4 to 0.7 inches,
said first tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said first side of said distal component,
said first tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said first side of said distal component,
said second tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said second side of said distal component,
said second tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said second side of said distal component,
said third tab on said distal component is a solid rigid rectangular cuboid member located on said second side of said distal component,
said third tab on said distal component protrudes outward from said second side of said distal component,
said carpenter's pencil cradle is a groove, notch, nest, or cradle defined by said second tab on said distal component and said third tab on said distal component, and
said second tab on said distal component is separated from said third tab on said distal component by 0.2 to 0.4 inches.
