Abstract
Abstract This marking template is preferably made from die-cut uncorrugated cardboard with slots and holes adapted to position a marking tool to define the positions of cuts and holes to be made in a piece of material. Provision is made for cuts to be made at compound angles by forming the slots to intersect a fold line in the template, or extend on opposite sides of it, the slots forming an angle other than perpendicular to the fold line at one or both sides of the fold line. The slot portions for each cut are coplanar. The portions at opposite sides of the slot thus form the traces of a cutting plane disposed at an angle to either of the faces of the template. The template is adapted to be provided in a plurality of sections with respect to length through the use of interengageable slots and tabs, or by nails engaging aligned holes, that assure longitudinal and transverse alignment of the template sections.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A marking template including at least two elongated panel sections each having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots, having portions extending on both sides of said fold line in coplanar relationship, in the folded condition of said template, corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said sections, when folded 90 degrees along said fold lines, being adapted to engage an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: overlapping end portions on said sections, said portions having aligned holes when said sections are in longitudinal alignment in sequence.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A marking template including at least two elongated panel sections each having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots, having portions extending on both sides of said fold line in coplanar relationship, in the folded condition of said template, corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said sections, when folded 90 degrees along said fold lines, being adapted to engage an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: overlapping end portions on said sections, said portions having aligned holes when said sections are in longitudinal alignment in sequence.

Dependent Claim
24 words
A template as defined in claim 1, wherein said aligned holes receive at least one nail for positioning said sections relative to each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
136 words
A marking template including an elongated panel having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said panel, when folded ninety (90) degrees along said fold line, being adapted to overlap an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: at least one marking slot having portions extending on both sides of said fold line in coplanar relationship, in the folded condition of said template, said panel being separable into at least two sections with respect to length, one of said sections having at least one flap the other of said sections having a slot disposed to receive said flap when folded to a position substantially perpendicular to said panel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
136 words
A marking template including an elongated panel having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said panel, when folded ninety (90) degrees along said fold line, being adapted to overlap an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: at least one marking slot having portions extending on both sides of said fold line in coplanar relationship, in the folded condition of said template, said panel being separable into at least two sections with respect to length, one of said sections having at least one flap the other of said sections having a slot disposed to receive said flap when folded to a position substantially perpendicular to said panel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A template as defined in claim 3, wherein said one section has a pair of parallel flaps, and a flap perpendicular thereto, said flaps and slots being interengageable exclusively when said panel sections form continuations of each other at said fold line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
100 words
A marking template including at least two elongated panel sections each having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said sections, when folded 90 degrees along said fold lines, being adapted to engage an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: at least one flap on one of said sections, the other of said sections having a slot disposed to receive said flap when said sections are in longitudinal alignment in sequence.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
100 words
A marking template including at least two elongated panel sections each having a fold line adjacent one edge, and an array of marking slots corresponding to cutting lines to be made on pieces of material, said sections, when folded 90 degrees along said fold lines, being adapted to engage an edge and an adjacent face of a piece of material of standard width and thickness, wherein the improvement comprises: at least one flap on one of said sections, the other of said sections having a slot disposed to receive said flap when said sections are in longitudinal alignment in sequence.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A template as defined in claim 5, wherein said one section has at least two flaps at an angle with respect to each other, and said other section is provided with corresponding slots to receive said flaps.
