2. The tool according to claim 1, wherein the alignment portion forms an edge configured to make contact in an adjusted manner against said periphery of said reference part, when the tool is affixed onto the substrate.

3. The tool according to claim 1, wherein the tool is adhesive and repositionable.

4. The tool according to claim 1, wherein the at least one receiving portion comprises at least one marker configured to be opposite at least one corresponding marker of the at least one marking device, when the at least one marking device is received in contact in an adjusted manner by the at least one receiving portion.

5. A positioning set comprising at least one tool according to claim 1 and at least one marking device.

6. The positioning set according to claim 5, wherein the at least one tool and the at least one marking device are detachable.

7. A kit comprising a positioning set according to claim 5.

8. A method for positioning at least one marking device on a substrate, the marking device presenting a perimeter and the substrate comprising a reference part presenting a periphery, the method comprising: affixing the tool according to claim 1 onto the substrate, such that the at least one alignment portion moulds the at least one part of the periphery of said reference part to which it is complementary; and affixing the at least one marking device onto the substrate with at least one part of the perimeter of the marking device being received in contact in an adjusted manner by the at least one receiving portion.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein affixing the tool onto the substrate comprises putting into contact, in an adjusted manner, the at least one alignment portion against said periphery of said reference part.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the at least one receiving portion comprises at least one marker configured to be opposite a corresponding marker of the at least one marking device, when the at least one marking device is housed in contact in an adjusted manner against the receiving portion, wherein affixing the at least one marking device onto the substrate comprises affixing the at least one marking device (5) onto the substrate such that each marker of the at least one receiving portion is opposite each corresponding marker of the at least one marking device.

6. LIST OF FIGURES

[0049] The embodiments and variants will be defined below, as non-limiting examples, with reference to the affixed drawings, wherein:

[0050] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a tool according to an embodiment of the invention,

[0051] FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a tool making contact in an adjusted manner against a reference part according to an embodiment of the invention,

[0052] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a tool making contact in an adjusted manner against a reference part and receiving a marking device according to an embodiment of the invention.

7. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0053] In the figure, the scales and proportions are not strictly adhered to, and this, for illustration and clarity purposes.

[0054] The tool represented in FIG. 1 is a tool for positioning a marking device 5 on a substrate at a given place. The substrate comprises a reference part 4. The tool comprises an alignment portion 1, an intermediate portion 3 and a receiving portion 2.

[0055] The alignment portion 1 is constituted of a part of the edge of the tool. It is in the shape of a semi-circle.

[0056] The receiving portion 2 is also constituted of a part of the edge of the tool.

[0057] The intermediate portion 3 connects the alignment portion 1 to the receiving portion 2.

[0058] The tool comprises a marker 8 at the level of the alignment portion 1. The marker 8 is a straight line.

[0059] The tool also comprises two markers 6 at the level of the receiving portion 2. These two markers are also straight lines.

[0060] In FIG. 2, the tool illustrated in FIG. 1 is represented, whereas it is affixed onto the substrate. The tool makes contact with a reference part 4. The reference part 4, represented schematically, is a window. The alignment portion 1 is in the shape of a semi-circle. Because of the shape and the dimensions thereof, it is complementary to half of the reference part 4 which it presents a periphery in the shape of a circle. The tool is affixed onto the substrate with the alignment portion 1 thereof, which makes contact in an adjusted manner against the reference part 4. The semi-circle that forms the alignment portion 1 makes contact with half of the circle that forms the periphery of the reference part 4. The tool is positioned along a vertical direction. The marker 8 situated at the level of the alignment portion 1 enables to precisely position the tool with respect to the reference part 4. Indeed, the reference part 4 also has a marker 9 which is a straight line. The markers 8 and 9 are each configured so as to be found, one opposite the other, when the tool is correctly affixed onto the substrate.

[0061] In FIG. 5, the marking device 5 is affixed onto the substrate. The receiving portion 2 forms an edge. This edge is complementary to half of the perimeter of the marking device 5. The marking device 5 is received in an adjusted manner by the receiving portion 2. The marking device is thus correctly positioned on the substrate, in other words, it is positioned at the given place of the substrate where it was intended to be affixed. Such that this positioning is even more precise, the marking device 5 comprises markers 7. These markers 7 are lines. They are put opposite the markers 6 of the tool which are at the level of the receiving portion 2. The marking device 5 is thus perfectly positioned on the substrate. The tool can thus be removed from the substrate.
