ATTCI RN EYE United States Patent TOOL SHADOW James F. Boylan, Troy, N. Y. Application April 25, 1955, Serial No. 503,453
3 Claims. (Cl. 144-309) This invention relates to a templet or pattern of an object, such as a tool, whereby with a similar templet or shadow of each tool of a shop positioned on a wall or panel the place for the tool is readily ascertained and the number of missing tools may readily be determined.
The purpose of this invention is to provide means for manufacturing tool shadows or templets whereby templets corresponding with tools are readily obtainable and may be supplied independently or with the tools.
Various devices have been provided for indicating positions of tools in racks and on walls and panels, however, without an exact replica of the tool, particularly such as with a set of screwdrivers, it is diflicult to determine, at a glance, the location of a screwdriver of a particular size. With this thought in mind, this invention contemplates a templet formed by a shadow of a tool whereby the templet is of the exact size as that of the tool so that the area occupied by the tool on a panel, wall, or the like is continuously indicated.
The object of this invention is to provide apparatus for forming tool shadows or templets whereby the devices may be provided in quantity and wherein the outline of the device corresponds exactly with that of the tool.
Another object of the invention is to provide a replica of a tool that is provided with means for securing the replica on a panel or wall surface wherein a replica for each tool of a panel or the like is adapted to be independently mounted.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tool shadow or templet that is adapted to be positioned on a wall or panel in which the templet is adapted to be replaced when a tool is replaced with a tool of a diiferent size or pattern.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tool shadow or templet in which templets for tools may be supplied with tools in which the device is comparatively simple and inexpensive.
With these and other objects and advantages in view, the invention embodies a sheet of material having a gummed surface and in which the sheet of material is of exactly the same size and shape as a tool for which the device is used.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description, taken in connection with the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view showing a tool positioned upon a piece of plywood whereby a shadow of the tool may readily be produced upon the surface of the plywood.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device shown in Figure 1 showing a light positioned above the tool and plywood whereby a shadow is produced upon the surface of the plywood.
Figure 3 is a cross section taken on line 33 of Figure 1 showing a plurality of relatively heavy sheets of material from which templets may be made with the sheets of material bolted between upper and lower panels of plywood.
Figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating a method Patented Aug. 27, 1957 of cutting a plurality of shadows or templets from materials secured between panels of plywood with a saw such as a jig saw.
Figure 5 is a plan view showing one of the templets formed from the shadow of a hammer showing ears with openings therethrough for dowel pins or bolts which provide hangers for the hammer.
Figure 6 is a view illustrating the back of a work-' bench showing a templet or shadow positioned on the outer surface of a panel forming the back of a workbench.
Referring now to the drawing, wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts, the improved tool shadow or templet of this invention includes a sheet of tough, durable, and preferably colored paper as indicated by the numeral 10, the paper being patterned to form a handle 11, a head 12, cars 13 and 14, and openings 15 and 16 extended through the ears and positioned to indicate the position of supports for the hammer with the head 12 resting upon dowel pins, bolts, or the like extended through the openings and secured in a panel, such as a panel 17 of a workbench 18, shown in Figure 6.
In forming a plurality of the templets or shadows, a hammer 19 is positioned on a panel of plywood, such as the panel 20, with a plurality of sheets of material 21 secured between the panel 20 and a lower panel 22 and with the parts in position, as illustrated particularly in Figures 2 and 3, the sheets of material are secured or clamped between the panels with bolts 23 having nuts 24 on threaded ends and having heads 25 in countersunk openings 26 in the lower panel 22.
With a hammer, such as the hammer 19, positioned upon the panel 20, a shadow, as indicated by the numeral 27, is cast by a light 28 upon the upper surface of the panel 20 and the shadow with the cars 13 and 14 added may be outlined with a suitable marker, such as a pencil 29, that may be held and actuated by hand.
With the tool shadow outlined by a pencil or other marker on the panel 20 and with a plurality of sheets of relatively tough and durable and preferably colored paper or the like clamped between the panels 20 and 22 the shadow may be cut, such as by a saw 31 guided by an arm 32 and with the panels and sheets of material on a table, such as the table 33, a plurality of said shadows or templets are adapted to be cut and such templets may be supplied independently or with tools such as the tool from which the shadow is cast.
With the sheets of material forming the templets or shadows having an adhesive on one side, the templets may readily be secured by the adhesive to the surface of a panel, wall, or other device and with similar templets for all tools of a shop, or the like the locations of the tools may readily be determined and with each templet provided with supporting means for the tool the tools are adapted to be retained in position against the templets. By this means tools may be readily returned to positions from which they have been removed and missing tools may readily be ascertained.
The templets may be formed of different materials and may be provided in various colors. Other means may also be provided for retaining the templets in position upon a panel, wall surface, or the like, and the tools may be supported by other means.
It will be understood that modifications, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A sheet of tough durable colored paper having an adhesive on one surface and being patterned to correspond with the shadow of a tool adapted to be positioned thereon, said sheet of paper having ears with openings therethrough extended from parts thereof and the openwhich comprises ,1 positioning ,a 2 tool on; 7.4a; paneL ra'tnthe; g upper; end of a stack vof; 1ay .rs: -of material j iroma which; the templets are to be formed, casting a,shadow;-of;the.
tool upon said panel by a light positioned-aboyelhe tool, tracing an outline around-the,shadow;cast;bythe, tool and cutting around vthe tracing with 1the cutting ele;
ment passing through the. layers, .0f-.;n'1aterial below the panel,
3. The method of producing, templets for =toolswhicl1 comprises positioning a tool on the uppersurface .of va first panel positioned on a stack of layers ofirnaterial in which the layers ofmaterialare clampedibetween said firstpanel' and a vcorresponding second panel at the. bottom of said stack, directing a light upon said tool for casting a shadow of the tool upon the first panel, marking the outline of the shadow upon the first panel, also marking positions of elements for supporting the tool on the first panel, and cutting around the outline of the pattern and supporting elements with the cut passing through the layers of material and panels between which said layers of material are clamped.
