  • Patent number: 12151323
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fixed square includes providing a blade of the square, where the blade includes at least three first holes; providing a stock of the square, where the stock includes at least three second holes corresponding to the at least three first holes of the blade for attaching the blade and the stock to each other; holding the provided blade and stock in a fixture in a right angle relationship where the at least three first holes of the blade align with the at least three second holes of the stock; enlarging the at least three first and second holes while the blade and the stock are held in the fixture; and attaching the blade and the stock to each other using fastening elements in the at least three enlarged first and second holes while the blade and the stock are held in the fixture.

  • Patent number: 11828588
    Abstract: A stepwise and stepless adjustable square, including: a stock; a blade; a first alignment structure; a second alignment structure; a spring device; and a knob movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the first and second alignment structures at certain angles between the stock and the blade align and engage such that a force of the spring device is reduced compared to the force at angles where the first and second alignment structures do not align for stepwise adjustment, and wherein in the second position the second alignment structure is moved axially away from the first alignment structure, whereby the first and second alignment structures are separated from each other, and a first surface associated with the blade is brought into frictional engagement with a second surface associated with the stock for stepless adjustment.

  • Patent number: 11609078
    Abstract: A stepwise and stepless adjustable square for use in carpentry, including: a stock; a blade; a first alignment structure; a second alignment structure; a spring device; a spring expansion-restricting element; and a knob movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the first and second alignment structures at certain angles between the stock and the blade align and engage such that a force of the spring device is reduced compared to the force at angles where the first and second alignment structures do not align for stepwise adjustment, and wherein in the second position the first alignment structure is moved axially away from the second alignment structure for stepless adjustment.
