Abstract

Abstract A marking apparatus is illustrated herein which discloses a body with a marking roller exposed at one end thereof. An applicator applies a marking substance such as ink to printing embossments on a circumferential surface of the roller when the roller is rotated or is rolled on a surface. The printing embossments are arranged in a pattern or patterns, and the pattern or patterns of the embossments are transferred or printed on the surface upon which the roller is rolled to mark a path or route on the surface as well as to transfer the pattern of embossments from the roller to the surface.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 215 words
A scale pattern and route conversion marker for marking plain or irregular surfaces comprising a body having a roller support means extending therefrom, roller means rotatably secured to said roller support means with a portion of the circumference of said roller means exposed beyond said roller support means, said roller means having multiple adjacent wheel means having the same diameter and respectively different and adjacent embossment scale patterns on the circumferentially exposed surface thereof, said respective embossment patterns each comprising a set of embossments defining respectively different scales with an axially extending initial point embossment one said wheel means in axial alignment with an initial point embossment of said other scale on another of said wheel means with said respective scale embossments positioned in adjacent circumferential relation, means retaining the said wheel means in fixed relation for conjoint rotation whereby the scales marked by said wheel means on the surface will all have a common initial point to provide a reference means for visual comparison between said scales over said plain or irregular surface, and means for applying marking substance to said embossments as said roller means is rotated whereby said roller will make a pattern mark on a surface representing the pattern of said embossments when said roller means is rolled on said surface.
