Abstract
A carpenter square includes a triangular body having a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge, wherein the first, second, and third edges cooperate to define a perimeter edge of the triangular body. A fence is pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions. In the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a first direction. In the second position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a second direction opposite the first direction. In the third position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.

A carpenter square comprising:
- a triangular body including a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge, wherein the first, second, and third edges cooperate to define a perimeter edge of the triangular body;
- a fence pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions;
- in the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a first direction;
- in the second position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a second direction opposite the first direction;
- and
- in the third position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.
A carpenter square comprising:
- a triangular body including a hypotenuse edge opposite a right corner, a first edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge, and a second edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge opposite the first edge;
- a fence pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions;
- a first set of measurements along the second edges, the first set of measurements corresponding to a first zero location defined by the fence in the first or second positions;
- and
- a second set of measurements along the second edge, the second set of measurements corresponding to a second zero location defined by the fence in third position, the second zero location offset from the first zero location.
A carpenter square comprising:
- a triangular body including a hypotenuse edge opposite a right corner, a first edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge, and a second edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge opposite the first edge;
- a fence pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions;
- in the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a first direction;
- in the second position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a second direction opposite the first direction;
- and
- in the third position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.
