Accu-square marking system

A marking system for laying out square or rectangular perimeters comprising:

• six flexible members that each have first and second end portions;
• attaching means located proximate the first and second end portions of each of said flexible members for attaching the associated end portion to one of a plurality of securing means that secures the associated end portion from inadvertent movement;
• wherein each of said securing means at least partially comprises a rigid corner member that includes three spaced receiving members that function to releasably receive and retain the attaching means of the associated flexible member;
• wherein a user can mark a perimeter of a four-sided area having ninety degree corners by attaching the flexible members to the corner members in a manner whereby two flexible members extend diagonally across the area and form an "x"-pattern and the remaining four flexible members are attached to the corner members in a manner whereby they enclose the area and each forms a side of the perimeter;
• and
• midpoint indicating means located at a longitudinal midpoint of each of the two flexible members used to diagonally cross the enclosed area whereby the midpoint indicating means of each of the two diagonally crossing members will both be located at the point where the two flexible members cross when each of the four corners forms a right angle.

A marking system for laying out square or rectangular perimeters comprising:

• six flexible members of predetermined lengths wherein each member has a first end portion and a second end portion and wherein two of said members are equal to each other in length and are each longer than the other four members;
• attaching means located proximate the first and second end portions of each of said flexible members for attaching the associated end portion to an associated securing means that secures the end portion from inadvertent movement;
• indicating means located at a longitudinal midpoint of each of the two longest flexible members for indicating to a user the location of said midpoints;
• four corner members that each include three spaced receiving members that function to releasably retain the attaching means of the flexible members and at least partially function as the securing means for the flexible members;
• and
• wherein a user can mark a perimeter of a four-sided area having ninety-degree corners by attaching the flexible members to the corner members in a manner whereby the two longest flexible members extend diagonally across the area and form an "x"-shaped pattern and the remaining four flexible members are attached to the corner members in a manner whereby they enclose the area and each forms a side of the perimeter.
