  • Patent number: 9920539
    Abstract: An adjustable arch measuring tool measures an arcuate curvature of one of a window and a door and thereby assists a user to layout a radius of the arcuate curvature on an existing cutting surface. The adjustable arch measuring tool includes a first member having an arcuate slot defining an adjustable fulcrum axis formed at a proximal end thereof, a second member having an aperture formed at a proximal end thereof, and a fastener removably inserted through the aperture and selectively locked along a curvilinear longitudinal length of the arcuate slot. Advantageously, the second member is selectively pivoted about the adjustable fulcrum axis defined along the arcuate slot of the first member. With the use of reference points and guide pins, each half of the arch can be easily drawn directly on the working surface.

  • Patent number: 5906049
    Abstract: A double-ended utility knife having a housing or handle including an elongated, generally rectangular base member with a first end, a second end, a front side, and a back side is disclosed. The front side of the base member has a front compartment and a cover and the back side has a back compartment with a cover where the covers are attached to the front and back sides, respectively. Each of the compartments and covers extends less than the total length of the base member and is located at opposite ends of the base member. Each cover is secured to the base member by its own screw so that only one cover need be removed in order to replace a blade. Blades extend from both ends of the housing and have their own actuator so that each blade may be extended or retracted independently of the other.
