Abstract: A precision marking system for precisely marking at least one mark is provided. The precision marking system embodies at least one precision spot pen and a cooperating precision template, when used together repeatedly enable the precise creation and re-creation of spaced-apart marks along a particular workpiece at desired or standardized intervals.

Abstract: A marking device, designed to mark teeth, to position orthodontic brackets at an optimum level (though it can also be used to mark other things). The invention also relates to a method of marking teeth using the device. The device comprises one or more elongated rectangular metal plates. At each end of each plate is a “leg” that extends downward, with a “foot” covered by plastic. Cylindrical “arms” extend from both sides of each leg at right angles to the plate. Pencil lead (graphite) holders pass through the bars on each side of the plate, so that the pencil leads extend vertically downward and parallel to the plate. Knobs above the holders can be rotated to move the pencil lead up or down. Near each end of each plate, the distance of the pencil lead from the foot is marked in millimeters. Pencil marks aid in placing the orthodontic brackets.

Abstract: This invention provides a series of evenly spaced marks disposed on an art implement handle which allow an artist to accurately compare the relative sizes of different portions of their subjects so that they may depict them to scale.

Abstract: A tool which has an easily identifiable marker for each tire on a vehicle. The tool will trace the path of each tire and allow an investigator to accurately produce a drawing to recreate the path of vehicles involved in accidents.

Abstract: A device that can be used to place lines on structures adjacent to a corner. The device includes an L-shaped body that has two sections that intersect each other at a right angle. A chalk-depositing roller is rotatably and movably mounted on each section and deposits chalk on a surface as the device is moved. The corner of a building is accommodated adjacent to the right angle of the L-shaped body.

Abstract: An adjustable measuring and marking device is provided. The device has a lower portion with a bottom end and an upper end and an upper portion with a bottom end and an upper end. The upper portion telescopically interconnects with the lower portion. Measurement intervals, such as inches, are marked along the upper and lower sections so that one can use the device as a measuring apparatus. Measurements can be read at the upper end of the bottom portion, off the top portion, in inches, as well as in feet and inches. A friction fit exists between the upper and lower sections so that a measurement obtained by extending the upper section from the lower section so that the entire device is positioned between two points, can easily be transferred to another location, as the relative position of the upper and lower sections are maintained by the friction fit. Overextending the upper portion out of the lower portion is prevented by a locking pin device.

Abstract: A V-cutter for use in manufacturing a light guide panel of the backlight unit in liquid crystal display (LCD), and more specifically, a kit with a plurality of pins for the V-cutter is disclosed. The pin kit may be used to form a plurality of V-shaped grooves spaced apart by a desired, varying interval on the light guide panel. The pin kit may include a buffer plate (10) fixed to a lift piece (7), an elastic member (11) fixed in the longitudinal direction at bottom thereof, a guide plate (14) in which insertion holes (15) for a plurality of pins (12) are formed to permit contact between the pins and the elastic member, and a plurality of pins (12) to be inserted into the insertion holes of the guide plate for forming V-shaped grooves (3) on the light guide panel (1).

Abstract: A V-cutter for use in forming V-shaped grooves (3) on a light guide panel (1) of the backlight unit for a liquid crystal display (LCD) is disclosed. The V-cutter may include a Z-axis lift piece (7) and a W-axis lift piece (8), each of which has a pin kit (10a, 10b) with a plurality of pins (9a, 9b) attached at the bottom thereof. The pins (9a, 9b) are preferably equal in number and spacing to the V-shaped grooves (3) to be formed. The lift pieces (7, 8) may be vertically actuated by a Z-axis controller (5) and a W-axis controller (6). The light guide panel (1) is preferably fixtured to a table (11). The lift pieces (7, 8) are configured to move with respect to the table (11) so that, through successive X-axis and Y-axis operations, the V-shaped grooves can be formed in perpendicular directions with only two reciprocating motions. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the light guide panels (1) is reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for longitudinally dividing sheet material, said apparatus comprising a cutter bar (1) that is oriented crosswise to the movement direction of the sheet material and is provided with a guide (7) on which knife holders (2) are positioned such that they can be displaced. The knife holders are respectively provided with a immobilizing brake (18), comprising at least one movable brake block (18.1, 18.2), which acts via at least one force means (21) upon a parallel braking surface (20.1, 20.2), arranged so as to extend in longitudinal direction on the cutter bar. The force means is designed to immobilize the knife holder to be positioned ob the cutter bar (1) during the operation, wherein the force exerted by the brake block is oriented in the guide plane defined by the guide. The device is further provided with a positioning device (10) that is guided along the cutter bar (1) for positioning the individual knife holders (2).

Abstract: A device that aids in the positioning of wall hangings, such as pictures, photos or paintings, on a wall at a consistent distance from other visual elements. The device is in the form of a rectangular template with a series of evenly spaced holes along the centerline of the long axis of the rectangle. The template provides a linear measurement scale. The distance of each hole from the upper edge of the rectangle is marked on the template body. The center of gravity of the template also lies along the centerline of the long axis of the rectangle.
