Abstract
A COMBINATION SQUARE HAVING, IN ONE EMBODIMENT, A GRADUATED GROOVED RULE MEMBER RELEASABLY SECURED TO THE HEAD OF THE SQUARE BY A CLAMPING STUD MEMBER WHILE HAVING A RESILIENT GRADUATED TAPE MEASURE OF THE CONCAVOCONVEX, IN CROSS SECTION WHEN FREE, TYPE HOUSED IN A LOWER PORTION OF THE SQUARE HEAD. THE SQUARE HEAD HAVING A SIDE EDGE WHICH EXTENDS PERPENDICULAR TO A LONGITUDINAL EDGE PORTION OF THE RULE MEMBER. WHEN THE TAPE MEASURE IS EXTENDED, FOR EXAMPLE, 2 OR 3 FEET FROM THE HEAD, IT INHERENTLY FORMS A ROD-LIKE STATE SO THAT AN EXTENSION OF THE SIDE EDGE IS THEREBY MADE AND A GENERALLY SEMI-RIGID GAUGE IS FORMED SO THAT MEASURING, SQUARING AND SCRIBING OPERATIONS ALONG A LONGITUDINAL EDGE PORTION OF THE RULE MEMBER ARE EXECUTED, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE SURFACE OF A BOARD, AND IN ONE OPERATION. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT THE RULE MEMBER IS REMOVED FROM THE HEAD SO THAT ANOTHER SEMI-RIGID GAUGE EFFECT IS PRODUCED BY USE OF THE TAPE MEASURE IN AN EXTENDED ROD-LIKE STATE, FOR READILY MAKING SURFACE GAUGE MEASUREMENTS AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE, BY USE OF AN OBLIQUE ANGLE SIDE EDGE OF THE HEAD, ACCORDINGLY. IN STILL ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, THE RULE MEMBER EITHER IS OR IS NOT USED IN THE HEAD SO THAT SEMI-RIGID GAUGE, FOR EXAMPLE, INSIDE MEASUREMENTS MAY BE REPEATEDLY MADE SO THAT TRANSFER OF THE MEASUREMENT MAY BE MADE TO THE SURFACE OF A BOARD, FOR EXAMPLE. THE TAPE MEASURE MAY ALSO BE USED AS N EXTENSION OF THE RULE MEMBER FOR MAKING MEASUREMENTS OVER A LARGE CORNER OBSTRUCTION. AND IN STILL OTHER EMBODIMENTS A LEVEL VIAL IS HOUSED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE HEAD OF THE SQUARE THAT MAY ALSO HAVE A TAPE MEASURE CAM LOCK FOR LOCKING THE TAPE MEASURE IN AN EXTENDED POSITION AND EVEN WHILE THE LEVEL VIAL IS BEING USED, ACCORDINGLY.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE [A connecter for joining fiexible conduit, for example of the metallic type, which is made of stamped sheet metal parts and furnace brazed with the threads being formed of a coiled wire so that dcburring is unnecessary and the thickness of the metal under the threads will be insured] A tubular body section having threads attached at one end and a nut held captive on the other end with a tool engaging portion attached intermediate the threads and nut and a method of making the foregoing including the steps of forming the tubular body section from sheet metal, positioning the tool engaging portion on the tubular body section, providing a thread form on the tubular body section adjacent one end thereof, brazing the parts together, thereafter positioning the nut on the other end of the tubular body section and deforming said other end of said tubular body section to hold the nut captive.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side view, partly in section, showing one form of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a section along line 33 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view, partly in section, of the coil;
FIG. 5 is a side view, partly in section, of a variant form; and
FIG. 6 is a section through a variant form of thread formation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In FIG. 1 a connecter is indicated generally at 10 in the form of an elbow with a body section 12 made of two halves 14 and 16, one of the halves 16 having flanges or olfsets 18 which overlap the abutting edges of the other half 14. Otherwise, the two halves are mirror images of each other and can be made from sheet metal suitably formed as stampings on conventional presses, for example progressive die or transfer presses. The ends of each half are tapered somewhat as at 20 and the overlapping flange or edge 18 on the one half terminates as at 22. Thus, the areas of theabutting edges in the tapered portion 20 are directly abutting with no overlap. The flanges or overlap 13 also terminate at the other end as at 24 in spaced relation to the end 26 so that a sleeve or ring 28 may be slipped on and preliminarily positioned against the edge 24 of the overlap or flange. While the ring 28 has been shown as flared out as at 30, it is initially a simple sleeve or ring or cylinder and the flare 30 is caused later.
An octagonal body 32 which is cylindrical on the inside at 34 and octagonal on the outside at 36 may be stamped or formed from the sheet material and then slipped over the taper 20 until it abuts the edge 22 of the flange or overlap 18.
A thread formation 38 is formed on the taper by coiling a wire 40 of suitable length into a generally cylindrical coil and then slipping it over the taper 20. The wire is shown as having a triangular cross section 42 with one flat side 44 being disposed on the inside of the resulting coil so that the inner surface of the coil presents a smooth cylindrical appearance with the outer edge or point 46 of the triangular forming the crest of the resultant threads. Wire that is triangular in cross section is particularly appropriate since the sides or flanks of the threads resulting from the triangle will be at 60, which is appropriate for pipe threads.
The wire can be coiled to an internal diameter which is slightly smaller than the maximum outside diameter of the taper 20 so that when the cylindrical inner surface of the coil is slipped onto the taper, the coil will be expanded somewhat throughout its length, thereby giving a slight compression or loaded fit. Since the exterior of the taper increases in diameter from the end, the coil will be progressively expanded from the small end up. But the degree of interference should be sufiiciently small such that no great effort is necessary to assemble the two.
Assembly is as follows: The two halves 14 and 16 are brought together, the sleeve 28 is slipped on along with the octagon 32 and the coil 40, all three of which hold the two halves together and properly positioned with their edges abutting. In this form, the unit can be furnace brazed which will seal together the abutting edges of the two halves 14 and 16, will seal the sleeve 28.011 one end of Oct. 3, 1972 B. K.
