The tool provides for the marking of a consistent reveal around a door or window when installing trim. The tool also provides a surface which may be used to provide support to the end of a tape measure when performing measurements. Additionally, the tool may provide support for the trim being installed around the door or window. | 12-24-2009 |
20110185583 | MULTIPURPOSE TOOL FOR MARKING A SUBSTRATE - Described herein is a multipurpose tool used for marking a substrate. The tool includes at least first and second generally planar layers. The first layer includes first and second edges for guiding a marking device, and third and fourth edges for abutting a first surface of the substrate. The second layer may be formed on a major surface of the first layer, the second layer having fifth and sixth edges for abutting a second surface of the substrate. The first and second edges may extend beyond the fifth and sixth edges by a first predetermined lateral distance. In addition, the first and second edges may form a curved corner, while the fifth and sixth edges may form a corresponding curved corner. | 08-04-2011 |
20120017452 | DOOR LOCK LOCATING TOOL KIT - A door lock locator configured to attach to a door having a latch edge and to locate the door lock in relation to a strike plate. The door lock locator includes an edge wall having an edge hole locator, a first wall extending from the edge wall and including a bore hole locator, a second wall extending from the edge wall and cooperating with the first wall to attach the door lock locator to the door. The door lock locator also includes a strike plate locator coupled to one of the edge wall, the first wall, and the second wall. The strike plate locator has a protrusion that selectively engages the strike plate to locate the edge hole locator and the bore hole locator. | 01-26-2012 |
20120255186 | Door Frame Tool - Apparatuses and methods are provided for squaring, positioning, and leveling a door frame. The apparatus comprises a generally rectangular body, at least two magnets, and at least one leveling device. The method generally comprises positioning the apparatus of the invention in the center of where a doorway will be placed, contacting the vertical sides of the door frame with the apparatus such that each of the magnets on the apparatus is in magnetic contact with a vertical side of the door frame, and using the apparatus to correctly square, level, and set the door frame. | 10-11-2012 |
20130239419 | CARPENTRY GUIDE TOOL FOR MAKING CONSISTENT REVEALS - A carpentry guide tool for ensuring precise and accurate measurements with regard to offsets and reveals commonly used in carpentry, particularly in the context of trim and molding around a door or window, is now disclosed. More specifically, the now disclosed carpentry tool is capable of use simultaneously in two orthogonal directions for the accurate measurement of reveals in the corner of a framed threshold and is designed for both ease of use and ease of manufacture. The now disclosed carpentry tool is of fixed dimension and static manufacture, mitigating the possibility that human error yields inconsistencies in measurement. The preferred embodiment is two concentric square prisms of differing sizes wherein every edge of one prism is congruent and parallel to an edge of the second prism, creating a reveal defined by the size differential between the two prisms. | 09-19-2013 |
20150096179 | CABINET JIG DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE FASTENERS AND RELATED METHODS - A cabinet jig device may include first and second crossbars, each crossbar having opposing first and second ends, a first leg extending between the first ends of the first and second crossbars, and a second leg extending between the second ends of the first and second crossbars. The cabinet jig device may include first and second adjustable fasteners for coupling the first leg respectively to the first ends of the first and second crossbars, third and fourth adjustable fasteners for coupling the second leg respectively to the second ends of the first and second crossbars, and first and second adjustable striking pins coupled to the second crossbar between the first and second ends thereof. | 04-09-2015 |
20150113817 | Magnetically Mounted Door Hardware Template - A magnetically mounted template for identifying the optimum installation location for a door hardware device. The template has a working element that engages a cooperating door hardware device, for example, a working latch that engages a bolt. The template is particularly suitable for installing electrically operable door hardware devices, such as electric strikes, which require wiring as well as mechanical attachment to a door frame or door. | 04-30-2015 |
20160076869 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING VEHICULAR ASSEMBLY TOLERANCES - Some embodiments are directed to a gauge for determining relative positional relationships among assembled vehicular components. The gauge can include a gauge body defining a hook configured to be retained within a ditch joint. The gauge body can also define a curved exterior surface corresponding to a contour of a portion of the exterior surface of a side panel outer that is disposed adjacent a section of the ditch joint in which the hook is retained. The gauge can also include an indicator disposed at a lower portion of the gauge body below the hook. The indicator can determine and indicate a distance separating the lower portion of the gauge body from the door sash in a direction perpendicular to the exterior surface of the door sash, the distance being indicative of an assembly tolerance of relative positions of the side panel outer and the door sash. | 03-17-2016 |
20160109229 | INTEGRATED JIG FOR ASSEMBLING INSPECTION OF DOOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - An integrated jig for assembling inspection of a door assembly includes a loading module on which a door assembly is held. An alignment module aligns a position of the door assembly to be a reference position and fixes the door assembly to the loading module. A sensor module inspects an assembling state of the door assembly. | 04-21-2016 |
