Abstract
A drawing implement box includes a first ruler section, a second ruler section which has a scale of angles thereon, and a positioning member for securing the first and second ruler sections together yet allowing relative rotational movements therebetween for measuring angles. Each of the first and second ruler sections has a compartment therein for receiving a drawing implement goods.
Claims14
A drawing implement box comprising:
- a first ruler section comprising:
- a first ruler plate which extends in a horizontal direction and has a first scale of lengths on a first lateral side thereof and a substantially semi-cylindrical first member projecting upwardly from a second lateral side thereof, the first member having a first disc extending from a first end thereof and a compartment defined therein;
- a second ruler section comprising:
- a second ruler plate which extends in a horizontal direction and has a second scale of lengths on a first lateral side thereof and a substantially semi-cylindrical second member projecting upwardly from a second lateral side thereof, the second member having a second disc member extending from a first end thereof and a compartment defined therein, the second disk having a third scale of angles on a circumference thereof, and being disposed below the first disc thereby allowing relative rotational movement between the first and second ruler sections;
- and
- a positioning means comprising a bolt which passes through the first and second discs and a nut mounted around the bolt for retaining the first and second discs together.

- a second ruler plate which extends in a horizontal direction and has a second scale of lengths on a first lateral side thereof and a substantially semi-cylindrical second member projecting upwardly from a second lateral side thereof, the second member having a second disc extending from a first end thereof and a compartment defined therein, the second disc and being disposed below the first disc, the second disc having a third scale of angles on a circumference thereof, a boss which is formed on an upper side thereof and rotatably received in the first recess in the first disc, and a second recess in an underside thereof;
- and
- a positioning means comprising:
- a bolt which passes through the first and second discs and having a bolt head received in the second recess in the second disc and a threaded longitudinal through hole having upper and lower ends;
- a nut mounted around the bolt above the first disc for retaining the first and second discs together yet allowing relative rotational movements therebetween;
- a first screw mounted to the lower end of the threaded longitudinal through hole of the bolt;
- and
- a second screw mounted to the upper end of the threaded longitudinal through hole of the bolt and contacting with the first screw for restraining rotational movement of the bolt.
