Abstract

A squaring tool formed of a flat piece of rigid material having a primary “L” configuration, including a first horizontal blade and a first vertical tongue, said first horizontal blade and said first vertical tongue lying in a common plane and intersecting at a perfect 90° right angle. A secondary “L” shaped form is included having a second horizontal blade and a second vertical tongue, with the second horizontal blade and the second vertical tongue also lying in a common plane and also intersecting at a perfect 90° right angle. The second horizontal blade extends from an inside edge of the first vertical tongue such that all blades and tongues lie in a common plane and the second horizontal blade is parallel to and spaced below the first horizontal blade, and the second vertical tongue is parallel to and spaced from the first vertical tongue.

Dependent claims

A squaring tool formed of a flat piece of rigid material consisting of a primary “L” shaped configuration, having a first and a second elongated strip lying in a common plane and intersecting at a perfect 90° right angle,

a secondary “L” shaped configuration having a third and a fourth elongated strip lying in a common plane and having an intersection at a perfect 90° right angle,
said secondary “L” shaped configuration having said third elongated strip, attached at a first end thereof to and extending inwardly from one end of said first elongated strip of said primary “L” shaped configuration and, said fourth elongated strip of said secondary “L” shaped configuration attached at a first end thereof to a second end of said third elongated strip of said secondary “L” shaped configuration and a second end of said fourth elongated strip extending in a direction such that it is furthest away from said second elongated strip of said primary “L” shaped configuration, and
said squaring tool having parallel top and bottom planar surfaces.
