Abstract
A multi-positional combination instrument including a graduated member received in an interstice formed between elongate members of a positioning arm, wherein the positioning arm is axially and angularly positionable, and the graduated member includes at least one substantially planar edge and markings formed in or on a working face thereof.
Claims17
A multi-positional combination instrument, comprising:
- a graduated member having a substantially planar first edge, a substantially planar second edge, and a guide opening formed therein, the first edge substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the second edge, wherein each of the first edge and the second edge provides a substantially continuous surface to guide a tool in a substantially linear direction, and wherein a portion of the graduated member extends between the first edge and the second edge;
- and
- a positioning arm including an interstice for receiving the graduated member therein, wherein the positioning aim is selectively positionable in respect to at least one of the edges of the graduated member, and wherein the guide opening facilitates a relative angular movement between the positioning arm and the graduated member.
A multi-positional combination instrument, comprising:
- a graduated member having a substantially planar first edge, a substantially planar second edge, and at least one of an aperture and a slot formed therein, the first edge substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the second edge, wherein each of the edges provides a continuous surface to guide a tool in a substantially linear direction, and wherein a portion of the graduated member extends between the first edge and the second edge;
- and
- a positioning arm having an interstice for receiving the graduated member therein, wherein the positioning arm is selectively positionable in respect to at least one of the edges of the graduated member, wherein the at least one of the aperture and the slot formed in the graduated member facilitates a relative axial movement of the positioning arm.
A multi-positional combination instrument, comprising:
- a graduated member having at least one working face, a substantially planar first edge, and a substantially planar second edge, the first edge substantially perpendicular to and adjacent the second edge, wherein each of the edges provides a continuous surface to guide a tool in a substantially linear direction, and wherein a portion of the graduated member extends between the first edge and the second edge;
- and
- a positioning arm including a first elongate member and a second elongate member disposed on opposite faces of the graduated member forming an interstice therebetween, the interstice receives the graduated member therein, wherein the positioning arm is selectively positionable in respect to at least one of the edges of the graduated member.
