To all whom it may conoem Be it known that I, JAMES L. I-IEIMRICH, a citizen of t-he United States, residing` at Tiffin, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements vin Template Tools, of which the following is a specification.y j

rIhis invention relates to an adjustable" tool for use as a template.

The primary object Vof the-invention isA the provision of a Vtemplate tool including adjustable marking blades for cooperative action in designating working, operations to be performed on plates, boards and they a template is ordinarilyl like, wherever used. ,l t

AA further object of the invention 1s the provision of a template tool of the vabove described character, in which the blades are 4so adjusted as `to provide templates functioning withina wide range of adjustment.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description. 1

'In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of thisspecication, and'in which `similar reference characters designate-corresponding parts throughout the several views.

consistent with the class of `work for which the terplate is desired. The blades B are provid with the bevelled longitudinal `B in dove tail manner wherein for the purpose ofillustration is shown aA preferred embodifV ment of this invention, the letter A desigL `edges 10. Each blade `B, is provided adjacent one` end 11 with a plurality of equif spaced perforations 12, arrangedcentrally of the blade width, andv extending for substantially'one-half .of the length thereof. Graduations 14are provided upon both upallel graduations 14 extend the blades B from the end 15 to the end 11. The extremeend 15 is likewise provided with an aperture 17,*extending through the thickness thereof, the center of which designates the last` graduation mark 14 upon the end 15 of said blade B; said aperture 17 being positioned a `predetermined distance with respect to the eX- treme aperture 12 upon lthe end 11.

The supporting or guide frame G is preferably polygonal in formation. The outer surfaces 20 and 21 Vof the frame C are .provided with guide ways 23 ,and 24, respectively cu't downwardly' therein," the entire width of the frameC; said guideways23 and 24` being arranged'with their longitudinal axes at exactly 90 to eachother. inside edges of the guide ways `23y and 24 are undercut, in order that said guide ways 23 and 24 mayy receive the template blade for` slidingin said frame The guideways 23 and. 24, in depth `extend for substantially 4one halfthe thickness of .the material `of, frame C, 'and since the same intersect, an aperture in said frame C is provided. Graduation :marks 26 inl alignment withv each other are provided at right angles to the guide Way 23 therein and 'upon the top surface 20, which are adapted for alignment with respect to the graduation marks 14upon the blade B which slidesin the grooveway 23, to determine the position ofsaid blade B with respect :to the frame C. Likewise, the opposite surface 21 of the frame C `S Provided withV indicating 'graduations 28 in alignentire length of the ment and at `rightangles to the guide Way 24 in said side 21, whereby said graduations 28 4may be aligned with 'the graduations 14 uponv Vthe template blade B ada ted fory `sliding 'inf the guide wayl`24, to etermine the position` of "K apertures with respect to said frame C. When a graduation 14 of the blade B is arranged in alignment with the graduation 26 upon the surface 20; and
