| 20110247226 | Line holders for massonry work and the like - A relatively thin, stiff, flat guide line holder or “trig” for accurately supporting and positioning intermediate portions of tautly stretched guide lines such as are used by bricklayers and stone masons in laying courses of bricks, blocks and stones during the erection of masonry walls has a centrally located body portion, and an integrally formed, forwardly projecting guide line support portion. During use, the body portion is positioned atop a flat surface of a wall being erected to support the line holder at a desired height to be met by masonry elements added to the wall, with the support portion projecting forwardly beyond a front surface plane of the wall being erected. Passage formations defined by the support portion open downwardly through a bottom surface of the support portion at two spaced locations along the front surface plane when the line holder is properly positioned. Slot formations defined by the support portion provide a track, or tracks, along which a loop of the guide line can be moved into the passage formations so lengthy portions of the guide line located on opposite sides of the loop can extend along the front surface plane in opposite directions away from the line holder when the guide line is drawn taut at the desired height. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20130340271 | DEVICE FOR MEASURING STRAIGHTNESS AND SQUARENESS OF WALLS, FLOOR, AND CEILING OF BUILDING STRUCTURES AND THE LIKE - A device for measuring ‘square’ of a building structure having walls, floors, and ceilings. The device includes a substantially longitudinal planar body having a mounting portion for receiving a handle member. The handle member is adapted to be adjustably mounted on or adjacent the mounting portion of the body to allow selective positioning of the handle member relative to the body. The mounting portion of the body includes a releasable locking means which locates the handle member substantially perpendicular to the body in an operating condition for performing square measurements of floors, walls, and ceilings of the building structure or the like. In a released condition, the locking means allows the handle member to fold against the body. The device can further include a marker device mounted on a portion of the longitudinal body with a trigger mechanism which initiates release of marking fluid when the device indicates off-square. | 12-26-2013 |

The angled sections allow the tubing sections to be secured together to create an approximately 90 degree angle. Further, the angled sections are secured together via a hinge, which allows the tubing sections to be collapsed for storage. Additionally, the batter board device comprises at least one receiving component secured to the tubing sections for retaining a stake. The batter board device further comprises at least one square tubing component secured to the tubing sections for retaining a string line. | 10-17-2013 |

| 20160376797 | ADJUSTABLE MASONRY STOREY POLE BRACKET - An adjustable storey pole bracket provides a masonry guide tool that affixes to, aligns, and enables quick measurements of masonry units that make up corners and walls on a masonry structure. The bracket is length adjustable to fixedly connect to different sized structures. The bracket is portable and easily detachable. The bracket is supportive of a guidance rod, such as a storey pole, and the plumb lines used for measuring. Multiple brackets can work together at adjacent corners, or in a vertical stack on the same corner. A central ring holds the guidance rod along the length of the corner. A pair of arms extend perpendicularly from the ring along the walls. A fastening block slidably extends and retracts to adjust the length of the arms. A right angularly disposed flange at the terminus of the arms fasten to an adjacent corner or gaps inside the wall. | 12-29-2016 |

| 20090106992 | KWIK LEADS - An improved tool and method for vertically aligning bricks in a wall is provided. The tool may include an elongated member for placing against an outer face of a brick wall and a cross member for placing against a top course of brick in the brick wall. The cross member may be attached to the elongated member at a right angle thereto. Additionally, a position of a distal end of the cross member relative to the elongated member may be adjustable. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20120102770 | DC line wedge - The “DC LINE WEDGE” Is a Bricklaying and Stone masons tool that is designed to hold a string line in a brick pocket. It consist of two parts, the “Head” which is milled in an angle with a string hole at the center to accept a string line and the “body” to accept the head. The “brick pocket” is the area between the framed wall and the brick molding in which the brick is tucked behind to simulate a finished wall. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20080301958 | Calibrated masonry guide line support and method - The present invention is an apparatus and method for guiding the placement of bricks in a wall or facade in which the bricks are placed in a plurality of parallel planes offset by one or more predetermined distances. The apparatus comprises first and second members joined by a pivot or hinge mechanism that allows them to move relative to one another. The first member serves to hold the apparatus to a plumbed post located at the base of the wall or facade to be built and provides a stop for placement of the first brick in a course. The second member comprises a line support, a stop, and a protrusion for moving second member relative to the first member. When the apparatus is held to the post and attached to a line, moving the protrusion of the second member moves the attached line to a preset distance from the post. The use of the apparatus at both ends of a wall building site facilitates the rapid, aligned placement of bricks in a plurality of parallel planes. | 12-11-2008 |
