Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drawing tools, and in particular to a set square. Background Technology
[0002] A set square is a rigid drawing instrument with standardized graduations. It is designed to assist users in constructing straight lines and segments, and to determine the length of target line segments using the linear reference system provided by the graduations. However, current set squares generally have limited functionality and are insufficient for most field applications.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN210116301U, published on February 28, 2020, discloses a foldable multifunctional set square, comprising a set square body and a ruler. The ruler is rotatably connected to the set square body. Both the set square and the ruler have scale markings. Positioning grooves are provided on both the set square and the ruler, and multiple positioning points are set on the positioning grooves. These positioning points correspond one-to-one with the scale markings and are flush. The tip of a drawing pen can be positioned at one of the positioning points, allowing parallel lines to be drawn by translating the set square body. In this patent, the slider and the straight rod are riveted together. The slider is fixed at a suitable angle by tightening it. However, this method makes it easy for the straight rod to shift during tightening, resulting in insufficient accuracy. Summary of the Invention

However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] A set square is generally used for marking lines in woodworking, but it can also be used in the construction industry or other fields for drawing.
[0026] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a set square, including a set square body 1 and a backing plate 2 rotatably mounted on the set square body 1. The backing plate 2 includes an upper backing plate 21 and a lower backing plate 22, with the set square body 1 positioned between the upper backing plate 21 and the lower backing plate 22. The upper backing plate 21 and the lower backing plate 22 generally have the same structure and a certain thickness. When used on a square wooden board, the side of the backing plate 2 is placed against the side of the square wooden board, and the set square body 1 is pressed tightly against the upper surface of the square wooden board. Length graduation lines are provided on the right-angled side and the hypotenuse of the set square body 1 for easy drawing of straight lines. However, in actual processing, wood is not always square and may have irregular shapes; therefore, the backing plate 2 is designed to be rotatable.
[0027] Furthermore, one side of the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are fixed to the triangle ruler body 1 via a pivot 5, and the other side can be locked together. The triangle ruler body 1 is provided with circumferentially distributed grooves 11, and the upper support plate 21 is provided with an elastic post 3, which has a protrusion 31. During rotation of the support plate 21 along the circumferential direction of the grooves 11, the protrusion 31 can engage with different grooves 11. After being clamped by the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22, maintaining a constant gap between them, the protrusion 31 engages with different grooves 11 during rotation, forming different angles. Scale lines are provided along the circumferential direction of the grooves 11, clearly showing the angle of rotation for easier measurement.
[0028] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The set square body 1 is a right triangle, and the pivot 5 is located on the center line of the set square body 1, with the pivot 5 positioned near the right-angle vertex of the set square body 1. Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the backing plate in its initial position, where the backing plate coincides with one of the right-angled sides. This is the common usage. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the support plate after rotation. The angle of the grooves varies depending on the number of grooves 11. Generally, the more grooves there are, the smaller the angle change between adjacent grooves, and the higher the precision.
[0029] Furthermore, the grooves are spherical, and the grooves can be connected by arc grooves. The protrusions 31 are also set to be arc-shaped, so that they are not easy to get stuck when moving.
[0030] For more details, please refer to Figure 4The elastic column 3 includes a housing 32 and an elastic body 33 disposed within the housing. The protrusion 31 is a ball that is engaged with the housing 32. The protrusion 31 is connected to the elastic body 33 and can compress the elastic body 33. The housing 32 is detachably fixed to the backing plate 2. The protrusion 31 is an iron ball, with at least half of it engaged within the housing 32. The protrusion 31 can roll freely on the housing 32, reducing friction. The elastic body 33 can preferably be a spring, or other elastic material, thus constantly pushing the protrusion 31 away from the housing 32. The housing 32 has space to accommodate the protrusion 31, and when pushed by an external force, the protrusion 31 can continue to retract into the housing 32.
[0031] Furthermore, see Figure 3 The upper back plate 21 has an upper protrusion 211 on the side near the triangle ruler body 1, and a lower protrusion 221 on one side of the triangle ruler body 1. The elastic post 3 is disposed on the upper protrusion 211. This reduces the area of the back plate 2 obstructing the triangle ruler body 1, thus reducing the contact area. At least one of the lower back plate 22 and the upper back plate 21 is provided with an elastic post 3. Preferably, elastic posts 3 are provided on both sides of the back plate 2, so that a corresponding groove 11 is also provided on the lower back plate 22, resulting in less wear during movement.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, see [link to relevant documentation] Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22 are fixed to the side away from the rotating shaft 5 by bolts 4. The bolts 4 control the tightness of the upper support plate 21 and the lower support plate 22, and need to be adjusted to the optimal tightness before use. If it is too tight, the support plates will be too difficult to move, resulting in excessive wear. If it is too loose, the support plates will move too easily, making them difficult to fix, thus affecting the surveying accuracy.
[0033] Furthermore, the distance between the centerline of the bolt 4 and the centerline of the rotating shaft 5 should be less than or equal to the length of the right-angled side of the triangle ruler body 1, and preferably equal. This controls the rotation angle of the backplate to 0-90°, preventing it from rotating 360°.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, to further meet practical needs, the set square is configured to be multifunctional; see [reference needed]. Figure 1 The set square body 1 is provided with triangular holes 12, round holes 13, and rectangular holes 14. These holes can be used for marking or for hanging on the wall for storage. The set square body 1 is also provided with arc grooves 15, which are distributed along the arc direction formed by the grooves 11. Angle scale lines are distributed along the arc grooves 15 on the set square body 1. Marking can be done through the arc grooves, and angles can also be observed by looking at the intersection of the backrest and the arc groove 15, meeting different user needs.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
