Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 12, 1907.
Application filed October 2, 1906. Serial No. 337.067.
1'0 aJ/L whom, it may concern: 1
Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. Goon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jonesboro, in the county of Craighead and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and Improved Gage, 'of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention is an improved carpenters gage, to be used primarily for marking beveled siding or weather-boarding, so that a perfect fit can be made at the joints where the boarding joins the corner boards, window-frames, &c.
Considerable difficulty has been hitherto experienced in making neat joints at these places, owing to the fact that the edges of the window-frames are in practice inclined inwardly or outwardly, so that should the siding or boarding be out off on line with the outer edge of the frame it would be too loose or too tight when forced back in place for nailing, according to the direction of such inclination.
The object of this invention is to overcome this difliculty and to correctly indicate the line on which the siding is to be cut, enabling a perfect joint to be obtained Reference is to be had to the accompan tion, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved gage. Fig. 2 is a sectional View through a fragment of a window-frame and a beveled siding, showing my improved gage applied thereto, said section being taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the construction shown in Fig. 2, the fragment of the window-frame being shown in section. 3
The invention comprises a straight-edged l blade 1, preferably constructed of thin sheet metal, having an arm 2 at each end, formed by bending the ends of the blade downwardly at substantially right angles thereto. Each l of the arms 2 are cut out at opposite edges, forming projecting toes 3 at each side thereof and at their extremities.
In marking beveled-faced siding or weather-boarding to form a joint with the windowframe the gage is employed as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the under face of the blade 1 resting transversely on the top face of the siding with the toes 3 at one side of the gage in contact with the beveled or inclined edge of the frame. as best shown in Fig. 3, the cutout portion in the arms serving to clear the outer edge of'the frame. When the gage is in this position, the toes occupy the exact re lation that the end of the siding will when in place for nailing. By now scribing a line across the beveled face of the siding against the edge of the blade adjacent to the frame the siding, when out on this line, will form a perfect fit with the frame, resulting in a joint of neat appearance.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A gage comprising a straight -edged blade having a downwardly-turned arm at each end with cut-out portions at each side thereof, forming projecting toes at each side of the extremities of the arms for the purpose described.
2. A gage comprising a blade having a downwardly-turned arm at each end at sub stantially right angles thereto, said arms having cut-out portions providing projecting toes at their extremities, for the purpose described.
3. A gage comprising a straight-edged sheet-metal blade downwardly turned at each end, providing arms at substantially right angles thereto, said arms being cut out at each side forming projecting toes at their extremities for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES A. GOOD.
