  • Patent number: 4736524
    Abstract: There is disclosed a framing T-Square and protractor wherein the head of the T-Square and the elongated rule thereof are connected by means of a ballbearing allowing the rule portion to be free-swinging with respect to the head, which is in the form of a rectangular plate having a protractor scale thereon marked in degrees and auxiliary scales marked with inches of rise per 12 inches of run for common rafters and for hip and valley rafters. A rectangular panel is hingedly attached to the plate on a hinged line normally at right angles to the elongated rule; a friction locking mechanism permits the rule to be locked at any desired angle relative to the plate and panel. The rule, plate, and panel are marked on the back with rafter tables and other data including run lengths and protractor angle settings useful in roof framing and other construction or carpentry work. A vernier scale on the front of the panel facilitates setting of angle measurements to an accuracy of one-tenth of a degree.
