Multi-functional combination outline tool

A method for measuring the contour of an object using the first combination outline tool clamped on the vertical edge of the wood flooring, or flat material, as a basis of reference, comprising of the following:

• moving the vertical edge of the front base laterally along the edge of the wood flooring, the detector rod (or wheel) of the detection recorder detects the change in object shape, the marker simultaneously records the trajectories' lateral and longitudinal movement on the wood flooring.

A bisectional method for measuring the complete contour of an object using the second combination outline tool, comprising of the following steps:

• determine the center points of both ends of the object, align the two ends of the wood flooring and place them parallel to the central axis formed by the center points on both ends and sides of the object, clamp the rectangular base to the wood flooring and have the tip of the detector rod contact a center point at one end of the object, have the marker begin recording at the edge of the wood flooring, move the detector rod along the edge until reaching the second center point, the marker would have synchronously recorded the half of the object's contour, repeat the operation for the second half of the object's contour, align and merge the two wood floorings to obtain the contour of the overall object.

A method for measuring the contour of a vertical plane or the curved surface of an object with the third combination outline tool, using dual detection wheels to trace a line according to the said object's surface. First, the dual detection wheels are adjusted to identical lengths and fixed, with a marker adjusted to the preferred position. The dual detection wheels are to contact and roll across the surface of the object for the marker to record the moving trajectory of the said object's surface. The resultant line recorded by the dual detection wheels on the wood flooring will have the same trajectory and curvature as the surface of the object.
