2 Claims.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in templates and more particularly to an implement of this character especially adapted for the purpose of ascertaining the location of door, transom, and window butts and also for the purpose of arriving at the correct measurements of doors.
An important object of the invention is to provide a, template or" the character stated which when set up for use can repeatedly be used on all doors and jambs of a predetermined size without readjustment.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a builders template of the character stated which will permit incidental Variation to take care of over-measurement between the head jamb and the floor.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a, template of the character stated which is of simple construction and of low cost to manufacture.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide a builders template which can be readily adjusted tc various requirements and which because of its sectional construction can be readily taken down for the purpose of storage or carriage in a small space.
These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents an edge elevational view of the template.
Figure 2 is a side elevational View.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the upper portion of the template with the three short sections removed but shown in broken lines.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary detailed sectional view through the foot portion of the template.
Figure 5 represents a longitudinal sectional view through an extra intermediate section.
Figure 6 is a top plan View of one of the wings.
Figure l is a plan view of the lip at the upper end of the template.
Figure 8 is a top plan view of the foot member shown in Figure 4.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the template is made up of a plurality of intermediate sections 5-5 in the number required and the length decided upon. These sections 5 each has internally threaded ends 6 and threaded plugs or connectors 'I are employed for connecting the ends together.
Cil
Connected to the uppermost section 5 is the tube 8, while connected to the lowermost section 5 is the tube 9.
The tube 8 has the slot l inthe side thereof extending from the lower end portion to a midpoint.
As shown in Figure 3, this tubeS has the elongated rod Il slidable through the upper end thereof and a wing screw I2 is disposable through the slot I0 and driven into a Abore I3 in the rod l I to limit upward and downward movement of the rod, and, of course, by tightening the head of the screw I2 against the tube 8 the rod I l can be held in any desired position.
The rod can be extended upwardly to the desired .adjusted position. Numeral Ill represents the lip for the upper edge of the door and consists of an elongated strip having the nail opening I5 in one end thereof and the longitudinally extending slot I6 through which extends the screw I'I which is driven into the upper end of the rod II. Obviously when the rod II is eX- tended out, the short tubes I8 can be placed thereon so as to stabilize this end of the template.
On the sections 5, 5 and 8 are the butt determining wings I9. These wings are clearly shown in Figures 1, 2 and 6. As shown in Figure 6, each wing consists of an elongated tapered member 20, the thick end of which is bifurcated and formed tubularly as at 2| for embracing the corresponding section. This deiines a split clamp, the ends of which are connected by the clamp screw 22. These wings I9 are arranged in pairs on the sections 8, 5, and 5.
The lowermost section 5 has its upper end internally threaded to accommodate a threaded connectorl plug 23 and is longitudinally slotted as at 24.
Sldably disposed through the lower end of the bottom section 9 is the rod 25, the upper end of which is provided with a transversely disposed and threaded bore 26 for receiving the wing screw 2l which extends into the tube 9 through the slot 24 therein. Obviously, by adjusting the rod 25 and tightening the head of the screw 21 against the tube 9, the foot structure 21a can be held in any desired position.
The foot 21a is an elongated member which is bent at its intermediate portion to define the barrel 28 to receive the lower end of the rod `25, the end portions of the foot are bent laterally as at 2-9 and then extended as at 30 in substantial spaced relation. The side portions of the foot are apertured to receive the bolt 3'I which is used in clamping the barrel 28 rmly against the lower end oi the rod 25.
lWhen the template is set up for any certain height door, it can be used repeatedly on all doors and jambs of .that size Without readjustment, except where there is a variation between the head jamb and the door. To overcome this, the thumb screw 2l (see Figure 4) should be loosened and adjusted to the desired position, allowing the foot 21a to rest on the floor. The lip I4 sets against the head jamb when scribing for butts and when disposed on the door to scribe for butts, the lip is hooked over lthe top of the door which aords clearance between the door and the jamb.l
Obviously, if the tube 9 is not desired, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the screw l2 can be removed and inserted in the opening 5a, and the end rod 25 removed from the Itube 9 and disposed into the lowermost tube 5, after which the screw 5a can be tightened against the rod 25 at the desired point.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A carpenters template comprising a plurality of detachably connected sections, said sec,`
Cil
tions connected defining a staff, a tube at the upper end of the staff having a slot in the side thereof, a rod slidably disposed in the stai, securing means for the rod disposed through the slot, a laterally disposed lip at the upper end of the rod, and a plurality oif adjustable wing members on the sections for measuring for butts, each of the said adjustable Wing members consisting of an elongated laterally disposed member having one end formed to define a split clamp for embracing the staff and tightening means on each of the said clamps.
2. A carpenters template comprising an elongated 'stai-like structure, butt measuring elements adjustably disposed on the staff, a gauge member, a tubular extension at one end of the staff, a rod disposed into the tubular extension and having a threaded recess adjacent the inner end thereof, a set screw, said tubular extension having a longitudinal slot through which said screw is disposed, said set screw being adapted to be fed into the threaded opening and tightened against the outer side of the tubular extension, the outer end of the rod being formed with a longitudinally extending threaded recess, said gauge member having a longitudinal slot therein, a set screw disposed through the slot of the gauge member and into the longitudinal opening of the rod and being adapted to be tightened against the gauge member to xed position with respect to the rod.
