Apparatus for producing perspective drawings

Apparatus for use in conjunction with a rectangular drafting table for producing perspective drawings within a working area on said table comprising:

• (a) left side and right side holding means, each comprised of (1) an elongated first track adapted to be disposed on said drafting table perpendicularly between the upper and lower edges thereof and adapted to attach to said table adjacent said upper and lower edges, (2) a holding plate of substantially flat configuration disposed above said first track, (3) means for slideably engaging said holding plate with said first track, (4) an elongated second track positioned above said holding plate and perpendicular to said first track, said second track having inner and outer extremities, (5) means for slideably engaging said holding plate with said second track, and (6) pivoted support means pendantly attached to said second track adjacent the inner extremity thereof,
• (b) a bottom adjustable holding means comprised of (1) an elongated panel adapted for attachment to the lower edge of the drafting table and having at least one arcuate slot symmetrically disposed about the perpendicular bisector of said panel and (2) a guide carriage movably associated with said arcuate slot, and
• (c) drawing guides slideably held by said pivoted support means and said guide carriage, said drawing guides each having an outer extremity, and an inner extremity adapted to be positioned within said working area,
• (d) the inner extremities of the drawing guides held by said pivoted support means being pivotably interconnected at a juncture, the inner extremity of the drawing guide held by said guide carriage also interconnected at said juncture,
• (e) whereby manual movement of said juncture causes simultaneous pivotal movement of said drawing guides about three vanishing points in a manner to enable straight lines to be drawn for a perspective drawing.
