Abstract
Abstract A readily portable heavy fabric cutting tool guide is provided to aid in the cutting of heavy fabric such as rugs. The guide utilizes a substantially rigid unitary elongated tube-like member having a slot opening along the longitudinal axis thereof. Stabilizing means are provided to hold the slot in an upright position during usage. In a preferred form, two or more members are utilized which telescope into one another to provide a guide of adjustable length.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A readily portable heavy fabric cutting tool guide comprising: a. first and second substantially rigid unitary thin walled elongated tube-like members, said tube members joined at a first end of each member in telescoping relationship with one another, each of said members having a narrow slot opening along the longitudinal axis thereof of sufficient width to permit passage of a cutting tool therethrough, said tube-like members having an inner spacing between said opening and the opposing inner walls of at least one inch; and, b. stabilizing means adjacent the opposite ends of each of said tubes for maintaining said slots in alignment with one another and in an upwardly oriented position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A readily portable heavy fabric cutting tool guide comprising: a. first and second substantially rigid unitary thin walled elongated tube-like members, said tube members joined at a first end of each member in telescoping relationship with one another, each of said members having a narrow slot opening along the longitudinal axis thereof of sufficient width to permit passage of a cutting tool therethrough, said tube-like members having an inner spacing between said opening and the opposing inner walls of at least one inch; and, b. stabilizing means adjacent the opposite ends of each of said tubes for maintaining said slots in alignment with one another and in an upwardly oriented position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
101 words
A readily portable heavy fabric cutting tool guide comprising: a. first and second substantially rigid unitary thin walled cylindrical tube members, said tube members joined at a first end of each member in telescoping relationship with one another, each of said members having a narrow slot opening along the longitudinal axis thereof of sufficient width to permit passage of a cutting tool therethrough, and having an internal diameter in excess of one inch, and, b. stabilizing means adjacent the opposite ends of each of said tubes for maintaining said slots in alignment with each other and in an upwardly oriented position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
101 words
A readily portable heavy fabric cutting tool guide comprising: a. first and second substantially rigid unitary thin walled cylindrical tube members, said tube members joined at a first end of each member in telescoping relationship with one another, each of said members having a narrow slot opening along the longitudinal axis thereof of sufficient width to permit passage of a cutting tool therethrough, and having an internal diameter in excess of one inch, and, b. stabilizing means adjacent the opposite ends of each of said tubes for maintaining said slots in alignment with each other and in an upwardly oriented position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A guide in accordance with claim 1 wherein means are provided at each end of said guide for mechanically holding the heavy fabric during cutting.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A guide in accordance with claim 1 wherein the stabilizing means are leg-like members extending outwardly from each side of the end portions of each of said cylindrical tube members for a distance at least to meet a tangent line across the lower side of said cylinders.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A guide in accordance with claim 4 wherein the width of the base defined by outer ends of said leg members is about twice the diameter of said cylinder.
