Abstract
Abstract A lug template in which a plurality of lugs are rotatably mounted to a flexible template wherein each lug may be individually and substantially deflected out of the normal plane of the template without substantially deflecting the remaining lugs and further in which the template may be limitedly deformed in its normal plane to slightly increase the effective distance between given lugs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A lug template comprising, a. a relatively thin, normally generally flat annular member, b. a plurality of relatively thin, generally flat radial extensions formed on the periphery of the annular member, c. lugs rotatably mounted in the extensions and secured thereto against accidental disengagement therefrom, d. the annular member being flexible and distortable; and e. at least a portion of the radial extensions being deflectable out of the normal plane of the annular member without substantial such deflection of adjacent radial members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A lug template comprising, a. a relatively thin, normally generally flat annular member, b. a plurality of relatively thin, generally flat radial extensions formed on the periphery of the annular member, c. lugs rotatably mounted in the extensions and secured thereto against accidental disengagement therefrom, d. the annular member being flexible and distortable; and e. at least a portion of the radial extensions being deflectable out of the normal plane of the annular member without substantial such deflection of adjacent radial members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A lug template comprising, a. the structure in accordance with claim 1 in which, b. the annular member and the radial extensions are sufficiently distortable to permit at least a slight increase in distance between the centers of rotation of the lugs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A lug template comprising, a. the structure in accordance with claim 1 in which, b. the radial extensions are symmetrically disposed about the periphery of the annular member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A lug template comprising, a. the structure in accordance with claim 2 in which, b. the radial extensions are symmetrically disposed about the periphery of the annular member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A lug template comprising, a. the structure in accordance with claim 4 in which, b. each radial extension is provided with a circular opening extending therethrough the lugs being rotatably mounted in the openings, and c. the lugs having a radial peripheral groove in which the periphery of the openings in the radial extensions seat.
