| 20090013546 | HAND-HELD LEVEL AND PLUMB TOOL - A hand-held level and plumb tool that includes a homogeneous, L-shaped body, a first level indicating device, and a second level indicating device. The L-shaped body has first and second legs arranged at a 90° angle. The first leg defines an interior side, an exterior side, a central panel extending between the sides, and a length in extension of the first leg from the second leg to a free end. A slot is formed through a thickness of the central panel and extends along at least a majority of the length. The first level indicating device is assembled to the central panel of the first leg at a location spaced from the slot. The second level indicating device is assembled to the second leg. One or both of the legs can include measurement-related indicia selected in accordance with staircase construction standard dimensions. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090064516 | Multi-purpose tool - A multi-purpose tool includes a graduated extension pivotably and lockably connected to a leveling extension.

| 20080301962 | FRAMING TOOL - Apparatus using two hinged L-shaped squares to determine perpendicular with respect to a plane. Placing the apparatus against a plane with the squares offset angularly with respect to each other and placing an object to be secured to a plane adjacent to the hinge within fins parallel to the hinge permits securing the object perpendicular to the plane with one hand while holding the apparatus and object with the other hand. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20120311879 | MESMETRU - This invention called MesMetru pertains to the field of forensic technique of measuring incriminating objects and evidence and consists of three groups of identical blades, printed with metric measurement units, joined together in the 0 common point of each unit, forming a unitary measurement unit that can help us make the measurement of the three sides of any object: length, width and height through a single use of the measurement unit and take a single photograph that highlights the sizes of the three sides. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20130291392 | MULTIPURPOSE INSTRUMENT FOR TRIANGLE SOLUTIONS, MEASUREMENTS AND GEOMETRICAL APPLICATIONS CALLED TRIOMETER - The invention “Trio-meter”is a multipurpose instrument by using—“Multi-slotted link sliding assembly mechanism”—for triangle solutions including Pythagoras theorem' as a ready reckoner (FIG. II). Useful instrument with marker block attachment to draw and measure straight lines, lengths, arcs, semi circles, circles, bicircles, tricircles, parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids, parallellines and triangles with fractional and accurate measurements easily and quickly (FIG. III to VIII). The novel instrument with tri-sector attachments, trisects an angle and multiplies an angle into double, triple & quadruple as well as reduces an angle in to two-third half, one third and quarter fractionally and accurately (FIG. IX). It comprises three slotted links with in built main measuring scales, which are also working as sides of a triangle, three vernier calipers with three protractors and three indicators, assembled by centre pins, with all necessary attachments, parts and components ( | 11-07-2013 |
