Multifunctional speed square
View Patent ↗The present invention is a new multipurpose speed square that is easily utilized by any workman who typically requires a means for measuring, aligning, leveling, etc. The speed square is multi-functional, of simple construction, lightweight and portable. The speed square can be easily carried as an all-in-one tool and thus eliminates the need for additional tools, or the like. The speed square that can be manufactured from substantially any suitable material of engineering choice, is cost effective to produce, manufacture, easily marketed and easily sold.
1 . A multifunctional speed square comprising in combination: a triangular base member having a first base member edge; a second base member edge; a third base member edge; a top surface having measuring means used for measuring a length of an object when said object is positioned in a flush manner against said first base member edge; a laser target card plate embedded within said triangular base member and operable to reflect a laser beam for determining a distance, wherein the laser target card plate comprises a target center point location at a first distance from the first base member edge, a second distance from the second base member edge, and a third distance from the third base member edge, wherein one or more of the first distance or the third distance is greater than one inch, wherein the first distance is less than two inches and the third distance is greater than or equal to two inches.
2 . The multifunctional speed square of claim 1 , wherein a difference between the first distance and the third distance is less than 1 inch.
3 . A multifunctional speed square comprising in combination: a triangular base member having a first base member edge; a second base member edge; a third base member edge; a top surface having measuring means used for measuring a length of an object when said object is positioned in a flush manner against said first base member edge; a laser target card plate embedded within said triangular base member and operable to reflect a laser beam for determining a distance, wherein the laser target card plate comprises a target center point location at a first distance from the first base member edge, a second distance from the second base member edge, and a third distance from the third base member edge, wherein one or more of the first distance or the third distance is greater than one inch, wherein the first distance is less than two inches and the third distance is greater than or equal to two inches, wherein the second distance is greater than or equal to the first distance and the third distance.
4 . A multifunctional speed square comprising in combination: a triangular base member having a first base member edge; a second base member edge; a third base member edge; a top surface having measuring means used for measuring a length of an object when said object is positioned in a flush manner against said first base member edge; a laser target card plate embedded within said triangular base member and operable to reflect a laser beam for determining a distance, wherein the laser target card plate comprises,
a target center point location at a first distance from the first base member edge, a second distance from the second base member edge, and a third distance from the third base member edge,
wherein the laser target card plate comprises a first laser target card plate edge and a second laser target card plate edge, wherein the laser target card plate is positioned such that the first laser target card plate edge is positioned parallel to the first base member edge, and the second laser target card plate edge is positioned parallel to the third base member edge.
