Abstract: A multipurpose drawing tool is provided. One embodiment of the tool that is advantageous for drawing circles one-handedly includes a protractor portion and an elongated radius arm portion. The protractor portion includes an aperture, and a securing member is rotatably mounted in the aperture. The securing member may be a transparent or translucent suction cup for releasably attaching the tool to a drawing surface such as a vertically-oriented dry-erase or chalk board. Alternatively, the securing member may be a transparent or translucent magnet or a conventional magnet configured with a generally annular or toroidal shape. In another embodiment, an improved protractor is provided that includes a straightedge portion, a semicircular portion, a pivot arm and a suction cup or magnet securing member that pivotally secures an end of the arm to a central portion of the straightedge portion.

Abstract: A case for multiple stamp pads is provided. One embodiment of the case includes a first housing portion for retaining a first stamp pad, a second housing portion for retaining a second stamp pad, a hinge connecting the first and second housing portions for movement between a closed configuration where the first and second stamp pads are facing each other and sealed within the first and second housing portions and an open configuration where the first and second stamp pads are exposed for use, and a divider separating the first and second stamp pads in the closed configuration and swingably covering one of the first and second stamp pads in the open configuration.

Abstract: A folding ruler is provided. One embodiment of the folding ruler includes a first panel, a second panel, a hinge and a stiffening member. The first and second panels are interconnected end to end by the hinge so that the ruler can move between a folded state wherein the first and second panels are generally parallel and overlapping, and an unfolded state wherein the first and second panels are coplanar and oriented end to end. The stiffening member couples with the first and second panels to lock the first and second panels in the unfolded state. In some embodiments the stiffening member provides a grip for holding the ruler.

Abstract: A covered money holding tray with a series of toy money holding compartments and a cavity for receiving a book such that when the cover is closed with the book in place, the compartments are closed off, preventing the contents of the open compartments from spilling out should the tray be moved about, with the cover in a preferred embodiment being clear or translucent so that the cover or back of the book can be read when the cover is closed.

Abstract: A drawing tool comprising a protractor portion at one end and an elongated radius arm portion extending therefrom, with a pivot disc rotatably mounted in the tool, and an adjustable radius indicator slideably mounted in the radius arm portion, the pivot disc having an open circular pivot point and the adjustable radius indicator having means for automatically resisting unintended indicator movement.

Abstract: A plastic encased hexagonal shaped metal weight made from steel rod is provided with engagement regions at its ends capable of engaging the ends of other such weights, so as to enable nested, engaged stacking of two or more of such weights. The weights can be color coded as to their weight.

Abstract: A flat triangular piece, usually of shatter resistant plastic, is formed with straight edges and is used in connection with a T-square for drawing perpendicular lines and geometric shapes. The outside peripheral corners are rounded for safety purposes and the intermediate portions of the legs are slotted or recessed to permit the utilitarian reproduction of triangular lines and shapes with sharp points.
