Fitting square

Abstract

A fitting or measuring square with measuring indicia configured with a primary rectangular form and triangle collinear with one side of the primary rectangle and a secondary rectangle partially collinear with the triangle whereby the measuring square is provided with multi function indicia.

Claims

1. A fitting square comprising: a planer unitary body; a primary rectangle portion forming part of said unitary body, whereby said primary rectangle includes a central cavity; a triangle portion forming part of said unitary body whereby a first leg of said triangle shares an edge with said primary rectangle; and a secondary rectangle portion sharing at least a portion of a second leg of said triangle portion; and measuring indicia deposed on at least one surface of said fitting square.

2. The fitting square of claim 1, wherein said triangle portion is a right triangle.

3. The fitting square of claim 1, wherein said triangle portion is a 45-45-90 right triangle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(12) As generally understood the present invention is a fitting square that is substantially planar and configured as demonstrated in the drawings. The fitting Square has a centrally placed cavity 12 providing for not only holding the square while in use but for use in hanging the device for storage and transport. Each complementary centerline edge 14 is constructed and arranged in order to precisely ascertain a 45 angle. Complimentary edges 16 and 17 are used to draw a centerline of a straight through or trunk part of a Y fitting in order to mark the measurements. Branch edge 18 is constructed and arranged to draw a centerline of a branch in order to mark the desired measurements. First right angle edge 20 and second right angle edge 21 are arranged to draw centerline of a 90 fitting. They are constructed and arranged with indicia as provided. Indicia 22 are instrumental markings providing for measurements of a Y fitting branch. Indicia 24 provide incremental markings utilized in a wide fitting trunk. Indicia 26 are incremental markings of a 45 fitting. Indicia 28 are incremental markings providing for measurement of a 90 fitting. Indicia 30 are incremental markings of the bottom of a Y fitting. Each of indicia 32A, 32B, and 32C provide for indicia better label markings for the type of increment and relative to the fitting they represent. Indicia 34 are orientation labels that provide the user at a glance guidance relating to the orientation of using the fitting Square. Indicia 36 are fitting labels that provide the user information relating to which edge should be used and what measurements should be used for a respective fitting.

(13) The overall configuration provides for a main first rectangle 40 a triangle shape portion 42 sharing edge 50 with said main rectangle 40 and a secondary rectangle 44 sharing a portion of edge 52 with triangle 42.

(14) Triangle 42 is a 45-45-90 right triangle. In one embodiment there is a desired correlation between rectangle 44 and edge 16 of triangle 42 in that these are relative to fittings that are marked on these areas which when drawn represent a Y fitting, That is to say side 52, which is congruent to side 50 would be the center line of a Y fitting and when edge 18 is traced to edge 16 that gives the user a 45 degree angle of the branch portion of the Y fitting as all fittings are based on 90 deg 45 deg and 22.5 dig angles.

(15) Although the specifics in the figures demonstrate rectangle 44 having edge 17 the same length as edge 16 of the triangle, this is only a single embodiment. This rectangle 44 would change based on the type of fittings used and which manufacturer's fittings we create the squares for. This iteration is for Sanitary/Drainage fittings manufactured for North America by North American manufacturers of Sanitary/Drainage fittings. This rectangle would change for European fittings or Chinese fittings

(16) While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
