Estimating the term…
A guide to center a screw or drill bit in the center of a hole of a countersink in a member to engage a piece under the member, the countersink having a downwardly tapered wall from the member to the hole. The guide has a body with a through hole and a tapered part that is to rest on the member tapered wall to align the through hole generally perpendicular to the piece. In a preferred embodiment the guide body tapered part is at an end of the body and the body is of frangible material and holds a screw in the through hole which fractures the body as the screw is threaded into the piece beneath the member. At least one slot is formed in the body along at least a part of its length between its top and bottom ends to facilitate the fracture of the body.
A guide for use with a screw having a head with a tapered lower surface to center the screw in a hole of a countersink in a member to engage a piece under the member, the countersink in the member having a downwardly tapered wall from the top surface of the member to the hole, said guide having a body of frangible material with a through hole from its top to bottom ends and a tapered part at a lower part that is to rest directly on the member countersink tapered wall to align the guide with said body through hole being generally perpendicular to the piece, wherein the screw tapered lower surface moving into the top of said body through hole engages and fractures the body as the screw is threaded into the piece under the member.
A guide to center a screw or drill bit in the center of a hole of a countersink in a member to engage a piece under the member, the countersink in the member having a downwardly tapered wall from the top surface of the member to the hole, said guide having a body with a through hole from its top to bottom ends and a tapered part at a lower part that is to rest directly on the member countersink tapered wall to align the guide with said body through hole being generally perpendicular to the piece, wherein said body further comprises a flange extending from the exterior of said body to rest on the surface of the member surrounding the countersink and a locking ring at the bottom end that is passed through the countersink hole to engage the bottom surface of the member to lock the guide to the member.
