A panel marking device for marking angular cut lines on panels includes a plate, which has a straight end. An L-bracket is engaged to and extends along the straight end. Cutouts in the L-bracket distal define teeth, which engage an edge of a panel so that the plate is prevented from sliding along the edge. A dial comprising a pointer is rotationally engaged to an upper face of the plate. A fastener is engaged to the dial and is opposingly positioned on a circumference of the dial relative to the pointer. Indicia are positioned on the plate, with each indicium corresponding to a respective angle of an imaginary line, which extend from a string line engaged to the fastener through the pointer, relative to the edge of the panel. The string line can be snapped to place a linear mark on the panel that matches the respective angle.

An inspection and measurement device includes a body defining a first planar face within a first bounded area, a first reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a first measurable parameter, and at least a second reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a second measurable parameter. The first and second reference features are positioned within the first bounded area for placement adjacent an element bearing the respective one of the first and second measurable parameters. The first and second reference features overlap within the first bounded area in at least one direction.

An angle measuring assembly includes a protractor that is positionable against an inclined member. The protractor has angle indicia printed thereon and pitch indicia printed thereon. A bubble level is coupled to the protractor to indicate the angle of a top surface of the inclined member. A first wand is pivotally coupled to the protractor to facilitate the user to measure cutting angles on lumber. A second wand is pivotally coupled to the protractor and the second wand is aligned with respective angle indicia and respective pitch indicia when the protractor is positioned against a bottom surface of the inclined member. In this way the second wand indicate the angle and pitch of the bottom surface.

A newly proposed articulating invention, each of whose four constituent embodiments is designed to trisect any of a multitude of suitably described angles by means of becoming properly set to its designated magnitude; thus automatically portraying a motion related solution for the trisection of an angle that discloses complete routing details of a pathway that leads from such designated magnitude all the way back to its trisector; thereby discerning the whereabouts of certain intersection points which evade detection when attempting to otherwise locate them by means of applying only a straightedge and compass to an angle of such designated magnitude; furthermore projecting finite lengths of any trisector that bears cubic irrational trigonometric properties, being those that cannot be duplicated, but only approximated, when applying a straightedge and compass to a given length of unity; and being of a unique design that could be adapted to function as a level.

A measuring instrument having an antenna element coupled to the measuring instrument is disclosed. The measuring instrument includes a planar substrate with an antenna connector coupled to the planar substrate and further coupled to the antenna element. At least a portion of the planar instrument comprises indicia wherein said indicia collectively forms the measuring instrument.

A measurement device includes: a probe part including a probe configured to measure a surface of an object to be measured and is attached so as to swing around a swing center according to a shape of the surface of the object to be measured; a scale configured to measure displacement by swinging of the probe part; a scale head configured to read a scale mark of the scale; and an arm part to which the probe part is attached, the arm part is attached so as to swing around the swing center integrally with the probe part, and the scale is attached to the arm part. When thermal expansion coefficients of the probe part, the arm part and the scale are , and respectively, the measurement device satisfies a condition of (+)1/2(+)+1/2.

A jig for clamping that includes two or more clamping aid tools for use and mounting with various common tools, including a carpenter, framing and speed square, and various straight edges for easily and accurately positioning various objects, either flat and/or round, magnetic or not. The clamping aids can clamp to round pipes at correct angles while being fitted, secured and/or welded together.

A protractor image changing method includes: acquiring an image of a protractor having a plurality of indices used for measurement; determining whether a size change instruction or a shape change instruction for the image of the protractor has been received; when it is determined that the size change instruction or the shape change instruction for the image of the protractor has been received, performing a first change process for changing a size or shape of the image of the protractor based on whether the received instruction is the size change instruction or the shape change instruction, and a second change process for changing a mode of the indices of the image of the protractor to a mode based on the received instruction; and outputting the image of the protractor in which the size or shape and the mode of the indices are changed or data of the image.
