Register-pin-locating device

Abstract

A register-pin-locating device used in conjunction with a steel ruler and a T-square to allow a stepping-and-repeating operation to any increment at any angle of an image in the art of photocomposing and like applications, a locator being mounted to a straight edge having marked units of measure so that register pins can be located at selective positions to receive negative or positive film in an accurate step-and-repeat manner on a suitable line-up table. The locator comprises a substantially flat thin plate having a longitudinal bend formed therein to define a pair of half sections horizontally offset from each other, wherein a pair of juxtaposed slots are disposed transversely to the bend, the slots being identically located in each of the half sections, so that the register pin can be received in either half section after the locator is secured to the straight edge.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
