Definitions

  • GASTAN or rroaznam, enamanx.
  • This invention relates to an apparatus for ruling for characters, especially so-called Egyptian characters used on drawings.
  • Apparatus have become known which serve for writin characters of this kind, the main element oi the apparatus consisting of ane or several, stencils which do not require ruled lines for the capital letters and small letters.
  • These apparatus are notonly very expensive but also difficult to use, so that they generally are employed only by beginners and unskilled people, the skilledtechnical draft'sman writing the Egyptian characters oflhand with the aid of a nib the width 1 of which corresponds-to the height of the characters.
  • This invention has for its object to considerably simplify theyvorking method.
  • Fig. 3 shows the cross section of a hole.
  • Fig. 4 shows an example of application.
  • a plate a about 1, 2 'mms'. thick and made of celluloid or any other transparent material, has the shape of a parallelogram the left and right short sides I) and 0 form with the upper and lower long, sides'at each corner an angle of 75, at which angle the'standto ard types,
  • the dividing holes belonging to one hole system are arranged the one above the other at 7 5. 1' The distance of the first andsecond holefrom the foot hole is equal to theheigh-tof the small characters 6! and to the height of the capital characters. In each-hole system the height of the capital characters is marked by two parallel straight lines 9 standing to the horizontal line, and above these two lines g one single straight line h indicates the average space between two lines.
  • the line space may be selected smaller or greater than the average line space in the s stem
  • another hole is arranged at either si e of each hole system the one of these holes standing lower v and the other hole higher than the system.
  • the firsthole indicates the line space which corresponds to the standard minimum measure which is selected so that'the lines written with this space appear to the eye just as continuous writing.
  • the three holes belongin to the system designated at the foot hole by 14 and designed for the three different line spaces are marked minimum, average, maximum, linev space.
  • the total height of a written line including the corre- 'sponding line space is several times marked by holes spaced 75, as these smaller writings are specially frequently used in whole lines in schedules, indexes and the like, so that the foot lines for several linesca'n be drawn without shifting of the ruler on which the table a rests.
  • the figures 3A; 1; 1,5; 2; 3; d are further marked. They indicate the thickness of the contours of the; characters in millimeters.
  • the dis- I tance between the parallels g in one system corresponds to this size.
  • the pens for writing Egyptian characters are known-in commerce under the same figures.
  • the scales on the short sides and c begin at the height .ofthe foot line f of the hole systems 6 centimeters being marked in upward direction and 1 centimeter in downward direction. It is thus possible to measure the line space or the distance from an existing .mar'gin line in millimeters although the di- 'vision'holes existing. in the hole system do not tally with the line spaces.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates this by way of example. Characters of the'height 10 have to be written between two margin lines spa-ced millimeters.
  • the hole cross section shown in Fig. 3 shows two, diflerent cones-I
  • the cratershaped enlarged portion 2' serves to facilitate the insertion and the narrower portion k serves tov guide the pencil point during the ruling. If the distance between two holes is- -soshort that their craters would merge the one into the other, one of the holes is made on the horizontal, in preserving the distance in the vertical direction, as this is shown in the systems for the height 5; 3,5; 2,5 for the holes which-indicate the height of the small.
