A marking apparatus (1) having a presentation apparatus (9) for the optically guided alignment with a work site (5) on an object (3), wherein a digital model (2) of the object (3) is storable in a model memory and at least one mark (4) that corresponds to a work site (5) on the object (3) may be added to the digital model (2), wherein the location of the marking apparatus (1) with respect to the object (3) is determinable using a measuring apparatus.

The framing square may comprise a square, a carrier, and a laser distance meter. The framing square may be a tool for measuring a right angle. The square may be a metal armature comprising two arms that form the right angle. The carrier may slide in a carrier located on a first arm. The laser distance meter may be coupled to the carrier and may optically measure a separation distance between the first arm and a first object. A second arm may be placed adjacent to a second object. Two separation distance measurements from different positions on the first arm may determine if the first object is perpendicular to the second object, even when the first arm is not in contact with the first object.

In a punch device (100) with a marking element (110) for marking drilled holes to be applied with positional accuracy for the purpose of the positionally accurate positioning of an object to be attached to a wall (200), in situ correctable and thus accurately definable marking of drilled holes to be inserted into a wall (200) for the attachment of objects to the wall (200) is achieved in that the marking element (110) at least for the most part is reciprocally mounted inside a housing (120), which is provided with a front positioning element (130) close to the wall provided with a central opening (131) for mounting a supporting element (150) connected to the marking element (110) for positioning the punch device (100) on a wall (200), as well as with a mounting element (140) provided with a drilled hole (141) for mounting a supporting element (150) connected to the marking element (110), which mounting element has a means for the releasable attachment of the punch device (100) to the object to be attached to the wall (200).

A device for marking a surface, the device comprising: a body configured to store a marking substance; a guide arrangement having a first end and a second end, at least a portion of an outer surface of the guide arrangement tapering from the first end to the second end which is narrower than the first end, wherein an output path is provided through the second end at substantially the center of the guide arrangement; an activation arrangement; and a delivery arrangement which is configured, in response to triggering of the activation arrangement, to deliver a quantity of the marking substance from the body, along the output path and out of the second end, wherein, in use, a user inserts at least the second end of the guide arrangement into an aperture in an element positioned adjacent a surface until the outer surface of the guide arrangement contacts the aperture, and the user triggers the activation arrangement to deliver a quantity of the marking substance through the second end and onto the surface to mark the surface at a position which is substantially aligned with the center of the aperture.

A system and method for positioning hanging objects includes a transfer sheet capable of being marked (e.g. paper) is releasably attached to a positioning member having a ledge that can be aligned with a top surface of an object being hung (e.g. picture); the transfer sheet is then marked (creating a transfer mark) at the location of the object's mounting portion (e.g. hook); the ledge is then positioned as desired (e.g. against a wall), and aligned using a built in level; a mark is made on the wall using the transfer mark (e.g. using a pencil through the transfer mark); a fastener (e.g. nail) is then fixed to the wall at the location of the mark; the object is then hung. Thus, the tedious and often erroneous process of calculating where the hole should be using measuring devices is eliminated.

A tool for acting on a workpiece includes a body and an adjustable element movably attached to the body. A tool member on the adjustable element is disposed on the adjustable element to act on the workpiece. The adjustable element is configured to move between a plurality of predetermined adjustment positions to locate a portion of the adjustable element a selected distance from the body. The adjustable element is resiliently biased against movement out of the predetermined adjustment positions. A micro adjustment mechanism provides for micro adjustment of a position of the adjustable element relative to the body once the adjustable element is moved to a selected predetermined adjustment position. The micro adjustment mechanism is configured for moving the adjustable element to an intermediate adjustment position located between the selected predetermined adjustment position and an immediately adjacent predetermined adjustment position for precise position adjustment of the adjustable element.

The profile matching scribing tool includes an elongated body including walls defining an interior guide within the elongated body and having at least a first opening at one end of the elongated body, and an elongated scribing element, including a pointed tip, and positioned in the interior guide within the elongated body and configured to be slidably extended out of the first opening. A marking tool guide holder is positioned on a top of the elongated body adjacent an end thereof and configured to guide and hold a marking tool transverse to the length of the elongated body, and a marking tool storage holder is positioned on the elongated body and configured to store and hold the marking tool when not in use. Also, first and second level indicators are positioned perpendicular to each other on the top of the elongated body
