Abstract

Abstract A COMBINATION SQUARE HAVING, IN ONE EMBODIMENT, A GRADUATED GROOVED RULE MEMBER RELEASABLY SECURED TO THE HEAD OF THE SQUARE BY A CLAMPING STUD MEMBER WHILE HAVING A RESILIENT GRADUATED TAPE MEASURE OF THE CONCAVOCONVEX, IN CROSS SECTION WHEN FREE, TYPE HOUSED IN A LOWER PORTION OF THE SQUARE HEAD. THE SQUARE HEAD HAVING A SIDE EDGE WHICH EXTENDS PERPENDICULAR TO A LONGITUDINAL EDGE PORTION OF THE RULE MEMBER. WHEN THE TAPE MEASURE IS EXTENDED, FOR EXAMPLE, 2 OR 3 FEET FROM THE HEAD, IT INHERENTLY FORMS A ROD-LIKE STATE SO THAT AN EXTENSION OF THE SIDE EDGE IS THEREBY MADE AND A GENERALLY SEMI-RIGID GAUGE IS FORMED SO THAT MEASURING, SQUARING AND SCRIBING OPERATIONS ALONG A LONGITUDINAL EDGE PORTION OF THE RULE MEMBER ARE EXECUTED, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE SURFACE OF A BOARD, AND IN ONE OPERATION. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT THE RULE MEMBER IS REMOVED FROM THE HEAD SO THAT ANOTHER SEMI-RIGID GAUGE EFFECT IS PRODUCED BY USE OF THE TAPE MEASURE IN AN EXTENDED ROD-LIKE STATE, FOR READILY MAKING SURFACE GAUGE MEASUREMENTS AT AN OBLIQUE ANGLE, BY USE OF AN OBLIQUE ANGLE SIDE EDGE OF THE HEAD, ACCORDINGLY. IN STILL ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, THE RULE MEMBER EITHER IS OR IS NOT USED IN THE HEAD SO THAT SEMI-RIGID GAUGE, FOR EXAMPLE, INSIDE MEASUREMENTS MAY BE REPEATEDLY MADE SO THAT TRANSFER OF THE MEASUREMENT MAY BE MADE TO THE SURFACE OF A BOARD, FOR EXAMPLE. THE TAPE MEASURE MAY ALSO BE USED AS N EXTENSION OF THE RULE MEMBER FOR MAKING MEASUREMENTS OVER A LARGE CORNER OBSTRUCTION. AND IN STILL OTHER EMBODIMENTS A LEVEL VIAL IS HOUSED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE HEAD OF THE SQUARE THAT MAY ALSO HAVE A TAPE MEASURE CAM LOCK FOR LOCKING THE TAPE MEASURE IN AN EXTENDED POSITION AND EVEN WHILE THE LEVEL VIAL IS BEING USED, ACCORDINGLY.
