Abstract
A device for supporting a building line reference consists of an elongate plate member for adjustable attachment to a wall face having upper and lower parallel channels, and a vertically oriented square section hollow member, in which said reference is received, secured to a plate slidably engaged in said channels having means for locking the plate against slidable movement. Said hollow member including two horizontal pivot bars located on the inside of two adjacent walls and threaded holes formed in said other two adjacent walls and positioned above and below said pivot bars whereby the reference member may be urged against said bars and brought into vertical orientation by the adjustment of threaded bolts received in said threaded holes.
Claims4
A device capable of supporting a reference for a building line comprising:
- a first member releasably attachable to a footing or wall structure, and
- a second member releasably engageable with said first member whereby the relative position of said second member with respect to said first member is adjustable;
- said second member including a substantially vertically oriented hollow square section element having inner vertical walls and into which one end of a square section building line reference is in sliding engagement and threaded bolt holes provided at opposite ends of two adjacent walls thereof to receive adjustable bolt means adapted to act on the end of the reference to vary the vertical orientation thereof and to lock the reference in said orientation, and said hollow element further including two protrusions projecting inwardly of the two inner walls thereof opposite said adjacent sides, said protrusions extending substantially horizontally across said walls, and being positioned to face between said bolt holes in said adjacent walls.
