Description

[0001] This document describes a marking template for workpieces with a non-destructive surface. Examples of such workpieces include zinc sheets, galvanized sheets, or sheets with a coating. Workpieces with a specific coating that must not be damaged can be significantly thicker than standard sheets. The thickness of the sheets can vary depending on the intended use. The coating, whether a zinc layer or another type, protects the sheet or the workpiece itself from environmental influences and weathering. To maintain these properties, it is essential to ensure that the coating or zinc layer is not damaged.

[0002] For this reason, conventional marking templates should not be used for marking such workpieces. Using a marking template to mark a coated sheet metal surface would destroy the coating and thus the protective layer, consequently leading to damage to the workpiece. State of the art

[0003] To mark coated workpieces, it was therefore necessary to measure points, mark them with a pen, and then connect these points with another pen. This process is very time-consuming. Measurements must be extremely precise, otherwise the distance of the mark from an edge of the sheet metal could vary along the length of the mark.

[0004] DE 81 00 111 U1, EP 2 466 033 A1 and DE 202 11 419 U1 disclose, for example, rulers and similar templates that have openings into which pins can be inserted for marking. The pins must be held by an operator, and there is no possibility of making markings at defined intervals using the rulers or templates.

[0005] No alternative solution for marking such workpieces is currently known from the state of the art. Task

[0006] The task is therefore to create a means of marking workpieces with a non-destructive surface, whereby, analogous to scribing templates for workpieces without a special surface, a tool is provided that makes this possible. Solution to the task

[0007] The aforementioned problem is solved by a marking template for marking workpieces with a surface that must be handled without damage. The marking template comprises a plate with a scale on at least one first side and a holding device on at least one second side. The scale has notches that define distances to an endpoint, and a drawing device can be inserted into the holding device and is held in place by the holding device. The holding device is designed such that the drawing device is held by the holding device in such a way that its lower end is located at the endpoint. This makes it possible to mark workpieces in a simple manner without damaging the surface of the workpiece and without having to carry out complex marking procedures.

[0008] To mark a workpiece, a drawing instrument is inserted into the holding device and held above it. The marking template is then held against the workpiece, with the first side of the template being positioned against the workpiece depending on the distance to be marked from a side edge. Various lengths or distances between the edge and the drawing instrument can be marked using the scale markings. The marking template is then guided along the edge, similar to a scribing template. Using the corresponding scale markings on the first side and the drawing instrument, a line is drawn on the workpiece surface.

[0009] A drawing tool can be, for example, a ballpoint pen, a felt-tip pen, a pencil or colored pencil, a marker, etc.

[0010] Generally, a drawing instrument is a pen that can be held by a holding device. Preferably, the holding device is also designed to accommodate various drawing instruments. The scale on at least one of the first sides consists of a plurality of notches spaced at defined intervals from the tip of a drawing instrument. The number of notches depends on the maximum length to be marked. For example, the marking template has notches that allow marking in increments of 10 mm, from, say, 10 mm to 100 mm. Of course, shorter lengths can also be specified. The number of notches and the maximum length to be marked can also be significantly greater than 100 mm. Shorter lengths are also possible. Such scales are known in the art for scribing templates.

[0011] The dimensions of the marking template, particularly the plate, depend on the number of markings, i.e., the maximum length to be marked. A rigid, non-bendable metal or plastic is used as the material. With a plastic part, the contact areas of the individual markings can be reinforced to prevent abrasion and subsequent damage to the marking template during use. Preferably, the edges can be reinforced with metal. For example, a marking made of a metal part can be applied to a correspondingly shaped marking on a plastic part. Instead of a continuous marking, individual metal parts can also be embedded within the marking areas.

[0012] Plastic stencils can be manufactured cost-effectively, especially in large quantities. High-strength plastics are known from current technology. These can, for example, contain additional materials such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, or aramid fibers. A metal stencil can be made of hardened, rust-free stainless steel.

[0013] In further embodiments, the marking template can have a scale on opposite first sides and a holding device on opposite second sides. The scales on the opposite first sides differ in the distances between a marking point of the drawing device and the notches. For example, a first scale has intervals of 10 mm, with the notches starting at 10 mm, and the second scale also has intervals of 10 mm, with the first notch starting at 5 mm or 15 mm. Other intervals can be chosen in further embodiments. For example, increments larger or smaller than 10 mm are also conceivable. In addition, the scale can have notches in inches instead of metric measurements.

[0014] A marking template with two scale divisions allows, for example, markings to be made at 5 mm intervals. The marking template can be used for a wide variety of markings.

[0015] The scale markings on the first pages are arranged so that they begin on opposite sides. The holding devices are arranged and designed accordingly, so that the front ends of the drawing instruments used for marking are oriented in opposite directions.

[0016] The holding device can have at least two receiving areas with different cross-sections. These two or more receiving areas ensure that drawing instruments with different diameters can be held securely. Firstly, at least two receiving areas with different cross-sections can also serve to hold, for example, the front end of a pen, which typically has a smaller cross-section than the upper end, with a receiving area of ​​the smaller cross-section. The upper part of the pen can then be held by a second receiving area with a larger cross-section. Instead of two receiving areas, the holding device can have multiple receiving areas, enabling the secure holding of pens with different cross-sectional shapes and sizes.When using a marking template, it is important that the point of the pen, hereinafter referred to as the pen tip, occupies a defined position so that the distances to the scale markings are indeed as desired. Setting and maintaining the position of the pen tip can be achieved in various ways. In one embodiment, for example, a receiving area can have a diameter large enough to allow only a pen tip or pen tip with a lead to pass through. Pen leads typically protrude over a certain length. If the lead's position can be defined by a receiving area with a smaller diameter, a defined penetration depth of the drawing instrument in the holding device is predetermined.

[0017] The holding device can incorporate at least one adapter that reduces the cross-section of at least one receiving area. For example, the holding device can be designed to accommodate drawing instruments with a large diameter. To securely hold relatively narrow drawing instruments, at least one adapter can be used that reduces the cross-section of the receiving area. Additionally or alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of the adapter can be adapted to the specific drawing instrument. This prevents the drawing instrument from tilting, which would lead to an undesirable change in the position of the pen tip. For example, the holding device can be designed with a round cross-section. The adapter can then preferably also have a round outer cross-section.However, the internal cross-sections of the adapter's receiving areas can also vary. Furthermore, the receiving area of ​​the holding device can have a different cross-section, and an adapter can provide a round cross-section.

[0018] The holding device can be displaceable along the second side and / or pivotable relative to the second side. In such embodiments, the position of the stylus end of a drawing instrument can be changed and fixed by displacing the holding device. A displaceable holding device can, in particular, be designed such that only the lead or a similar part of a drawing instrument protrudes from a lower end section. The distance to a defined zero position, which serves as the exact position with respect to the distance between the measuring devices and the stylus end, is set by displacing the holding device. The holding device can be displaceable along the second side as well as pivotable relative to the second side. The holding device can be slidably mounted on the second side via a slide.The carriage also has a pivotable attachment to the holding device, so that both the position of the holding device and thus the drawing instrument as well as its inclination to the second side can be adjusted.

[0019] In this context, there are numerous design options for adjusting the position of the lower end, such as the end of a pen, of a drawing instrument. For example, a drawing instrument can be self-clampingly held in a mounting device by various means or by the design of the mounting device itself. In this case, the drawing instrument cannot be inserted further into the mounting device than a certain position. To nevertheless allow for a further change in the distance of the lower end of the drawing instrument from a zero position, the mounting device is moved. Since the diameter of drawing instruments also varies, further embodiments allow for changing the position of the drawing instrument relative to the other side (pivoting) so that the lower end of the drawing instrument assumes the defined zero position.

[0020] For example, a drawing instrument can be held by a clamping mechanism. In another embodiment, a ring is provided in the area of ​​a pivot axis of a slide or similar part, which is fixedly arranged on the second side. The ring is part of the holding device. The ring has a diameter such that essentially only the lead or a lower end of a drawing instrument can pass through it. Additionally, the holding device can have a further ring that is slidably arranged on the second side. However, sliding the second ring along the second side allows the drawing instrument to tilt if the openings of the first ring and the second ring are not congruent with each other or if the receiving area of ​​the second ring has a larger diameter than the receiving area of ​​the first ring.Additionally, the second side can also have a sloping edge, so that when the second ring is moved towards the first ring, the axis running through the centers of the two receiving openings of the two rings tilts. This would then also cause a drawing instrument to tilt. Sleeve-like elements can also be used instead of rings.

[0021] The holding device can have at least one receiving area with a round, elliptical, oval, or polygonal cross-section. The cross-sectional design of the at least one receiving area is intended to ensure that an inserted drawing instrument is held securely and cannot tilt. A secure hold can be achieved, for example, by means of a clamping action. However, in other embodiments, the drawing instruments can also be inserted loosely. Additionally, at least one receiving area of ​​the holding device can have a coating or an additional material, which in particular has spring-like properties. For example, the inner wall of the holding device of at least one receiving area can be made of a rubber-like material. Alternatively, foam materials can be used, which, in combination with other materials (such as rubber, silicone, or TPE), provide a good clamping action or secure hold.A deformable design of the holding device's receiving areas also allows drawing instruments with a non-rotationally symmetrical cross-section to be securely held and irregularities to be compensated for without the drawing instrument itself tilting or jamming. Additionally, at least one receiving area of ​​the holding device can have projections, grooves, or lugs extending along or circumferentially around the receiving area, which reduce the receiving area, for example, along the longitudinal axis of the drawing instrument. The number of such projections or other elements can be chosen as desired.

[0022] In further embodiments, the adapter can have at least one receiving area with a round, elliptical, oval, or polygonal cross-section. Analogous to the embodiments for the receiving area of ​​a holding device described above, the receiving area of ​​an adapter can also have a coating or an additional material arranged within the receiving area. This can, for example, ensure the secure holding of a pen or other drawing instrument. In particular, foam-like inner linings of the receiving area that allow for deformation can also be provided. In this case, the designs for the receiving area of ​​the holding device also apply to the design of the receiving area of ​​the adapter. Additionally, the adapter can also serve to reduce the cross-section of a holding device or adapt it to a different geometric shape.

[0023] In further embodiments, the holding device can also be detachably arranged on the second side. This makes it possible to change the position of the holding device on at least one other side or to replace the holding device. Furthermore, detaching the holding device can provide additional functions of the marking template.

[0024] In further embodiments, the drawing template can have locking means for securing and / or adjusting the position or orientation of the holding device and / or the at least one adapter. For example, a holding device can have an adjusting screw that provides for clamping or holding a drawing instrument received in the receiving area of ​​a holding device. This allows the position of the drawing instrument, particularly its lower end, to be set to a defined zero position. Instead of adjusting screws, devices with a spring can also be provided. For example, an externally mounted lever or a sliding element can be used to tension and thus clamp a spring for the secure holding of the drawing instrument. In further embodiments, the holding device can be located in a receiving area or a fixed ring or...A sleeve has a bayonet fitting through which adapters or adapter sleeves with a corresponding locking button for reducing the cross-section can be inserted and locked. Other locking mechanisms may be provided in further embodiments.

[0025] Instead of separate locking mechanisms, a drawing instrument can be held in a holding device's receiving area by means of a clamping action. The drawing instrument can be inserted into the receiving area, or at least one receiving area, until it is held firmly in place. Removing the drawing instrument requires a considerable force from the user. However, the force required to remove the drawing instrument should be such that no tools are needed.

[0026] In other embodiments, an adjusting screw can also provide a means of clamping or holding an inserted drawing instrument across an adapter. For example, an adapter has an opening for the adjusting screw. The adapter is held in its defined position and orientation by the adjusting screw.

[0027] In further embodiments, the plate can have a scribing edge on at least one other side. Sheet metal can also be marked using this scribing edge, as is known from prior art with scribing templates. With such a scribing edge, workpieces are marked by making scratches. In further embodiments, the holding device is removed to allow use of the scribing edge. In still further embodiments, the scribing edge can only be used if no drawing instrument is inserted into a holding device. With an additional scribing edge, this can have a defined distance from the zero point defined by the tip or end of the pen of a drawing instrument, so that a simple conversion with respect to the dimensional scale for marking with a drawing instrument can be carried out.For example, the distance between the additional scribing edge and the regular zero point can be 10 mm using a drawing instrument. If the marking template is now used as a scribing template, either the drawing instrument and / or the holding device are removed. Then, to create a mark using a scratch at a distance of 15 mm from an edge, the marking template is positioned against this edge so that the notch is at 25 mm. Since no drawing instrument is used, the distance between the 25 mm notch and the scribing edge is only 15 mm. With a drawing instrument in place, however, this distance would be 25 mm.

[0028] In further embodiments, the plate with the marking template can have at least one marking line and / or a marking slot to indicate the endpoint of the drawing device. The marking line runs orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of an imaginary drawing device inserted into the holder. When a drawing device is inserted into the holder, the marking line or marking slot allows for easy visual determination of how far the drawing device must be inserted. Alternatively, a straight tool can be placed against the marking slot or marking line, and the drawing device is then inserted. The tool then defines the contact point for the drawing device to reach the defined zero position.

[0029] The holding device is designed so that the tip of a pen occupies a defined position. Since pens can vary in shape, the holding device is designed accordingly and can accommodate pens or drawing instruments of different shapes, lengths, and cross-sections, ensuring that the pen tip always maintains a specific position and thus enabling precise length marking. In further embodiments, the holding device is, for example, designed as a sleeve. In one embodiment, such a sleeve with a sliding holding device can be positioned on the first side such that its end lies in the same plane as the end or transition to the first side. This ensures that the holding device is not positioned too far or too far forward, slid on too far, or in the same way. This allows for visual inspection.Such optical control can also be provided for adapters as additional sleeves.

[0030] In further embodiments, a stop can be used to define the position of the drawing instrument. The stop has a corresponding scale to the first side against which it is to be placed. For example, the stop may only have a section of scale as provided on the corresponding scale of the first side. Additionally, the stop has a surface or contact section at its lower end that indicates the defined zero position of the drawing instrument when the stop rests against the drawing template in such a way that the scale of the first side is in contact with the corresponding scale of the stop. Due to the different angles of the scales on the two opposite first sides of a drawing template, the stop can only be brought into contact with the template at its designated position.

[0031] In further embodiments, a holding device designed as a sleeve can also be slid onto the plate, wherein the holding device has a slot. A stop or projection on the second side of the plate marks an end point and prevents further movement.

[0032] Such marking templates are used in sheet metal work, similar to the scribing templates known from the prior art. However, the marking template can also be used in other trades where marking is to be made with a drawing instrument without damaging the surface of the workpiece. Brief description of the drawings

[0033] Further advantages, features and design possibilities will be shown in the following description of figures illustrating exemplary embodiments, which are not to be understood as restrictive.

Detailed description of exemplary implementations

[0035] Parts with the same reference numerals in the drawings are essentially equivalent to one another, unless otherwise indicated. Furthermore, components not essential for understanding the technical teaching disclosed herein are not shown or described.

[0036] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10. The marking template 10 has a plate 12 with opposing first sides 14 and opposing second sides 16. On each of the opposing first sides 14, the marking template 10 has a scale 18. The scale 18 has a plurality of notches, which in turn define specific distances to an endpoint 110. The scale 18 on the left side has intervals of 10 mm, with the first interval being 15 mm from the endpoint 110. Therefore, there is a step in the range of 15 mm, 25 mm, etc., up to a step of 95 mm. On the right side, the scale 18 also has intervals of 10 mm, with the first notch being 10 mm from the endpoint 110.

[0037] On the opposite second sides 16, holding devices 20 are arranged. The holding devices 20 are essentially designed as sleeves. The sleeves, or holding devices 20, serve to receive pins 100. The pins 100 are inserted into the holding devices 20 until the ends of the leads 102 reach the endpoints 110. Adherence to the endpoints 110 is crucial for the precise marking of workpieces. In prior art scribing templates, the scribing edges are not repositioned, so the distance between the scribing edge and the corresponding notches of the scale remains unchanged. In the marking templates 10 described herein, the endpoints 110 of the leads 102 take the place of the scribing edges. However, the pins 100 are not used for scribing but for marking by applying paint to a workpiece.

[0038] The marking template 10 of the first embodiment allows workpieces to be marked in 5 mm increments. For this purpose, the scale markings 18 on the opposing first pages 14 can be used alternately. To mark a 30 mm distance to an edge of the workpiece, the marking template 10 is attached to the workpiece such that the notch for the 30 mm mark is positioned against the edge of the workpiece, and then a process is carried out along the edge of the workpiece. The pen 100 then marks the distance via the lead 102.

[0039] The marking template 10 is used in particular for marking workpieces with a surface that must not be damaged. Such workpieces are especially those made of zinc or with a zinc coating. Other coatings may also be used instead of a zinc coating, which must not be scratched. For this reason, templates from the prior art are not suitable for use on such workpieces.

[0040] The pins 100 can be held in the holding devices 20 by means of a clamping action. The holding devices 20 preferably have a round receiving cross-section for this purpose. With a round receiving cross-section, both pins 100 with a round cross-section and pins with a polygonal cross-section can be held securely.

[0041] The extent to which the pins 100 are inserted into the holding devices 20, and in particular the extent to which the leads 102 of the pins 100 protrude from the holding devices 20, is crucial for precise marking. Additional aids can be used to ensure that the pins 100 are inserted into the holding devices 20 accordingly. Alternatively, the holding devices 20 can be designed so that the pins 100 can only be inserted to a certain extent. This ensures that the endpoints 110 are reached. It is also possible to allow the pins 100 to protrude further and further from the holding devices 20 until they reach the endpoints 110. For this purpose, a ruler or other measuring instruments can be used. The ruler can be used to check the distance of the endpoint 110 to the defined notches of the scale markings 18.The marking template 10 can be made of plastic or metal. In a plastic version, the contact areas for the workpieces to be processed, especially sheet metal, are reinforced. These areas can also be made of metal. The marking template 10 can also be made of hardened, rust-free stainless steel. The dimensions for the scale markings 18 shown in the figures can be printed, affixed, or otherwise applied.

[0042] Fig. Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a second embodiment. The marking template 10 of the second embodiment differs from the marking template 10 of the first embodiment in the design of the holding devices 20. The holding devices 20 have three receiving areas 22, 24, and 26, with the first receiving area 22 having the smallest cross-section. The cross-section of the receiving area 24 is larger than the cross-section of the receiving area 22, but again smaller than the cross-section of the receiving area 26. The cross-section of the receiving area 26 is the largest. Preferably, the cross-sections of the receiving areas 22, 24, and 26 can be round.

[0043] The second embodiment is particularly suitable for receiving so-called felt-tip pens, whose lead 102 has a certain thickness. The lead 102 of such pens is held in place by a Fig. The second opening (not shown) is located at the left end of the receiving area 22. The receiving area 22 is designed to essentially surround a holding element for the lead 102 of the pen. The receiving area 24 is large enough to securely hold another section of the holding element for the lead 102 or a grip section for the pen 100 without tilting. The third receiving area 26 can securely hold felt-tip pens or markers with a larger diameter, preventing them from tilting.

[0044] The first receiving area 22 can also be designed to have essentially the width of a pencil lead 102. The retaining part of the pencil 100 for the lead 102 is held by the circumferential annular rim at the transition from the first receiving area 22 to the second receiving area 24. This prevents the pencil from shifting downwards, i.e., towards the endpoint 110. In such a design, the position of the lead 102's endpoint 110 is ensured.

[0045] Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a third embodiment. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the holding device 20 has the same diameter on its outer side. The distance between an imaginary center line of an inserted pin 100 and the second sides 16 is therefore greater.

[0046] With regard to the design of slidably arranged holding devices 20, it should be noted that a zero position of the holding device 20 can be visually recognized if the rear ends, for example the right end of the upper holding device 20, are flush with the first side 14 on the right side.

[0047] The holding device 20 in the lower area is in Fig. 3 shown in section.

[0048] Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment of a marking template 10, this template has holding devices 20 formed from a ring 30, a ring 32, and a ring 34. The rings 30-34 each have different diameters and thus provide receiving areas 22, 24, and 26 with different diameters and cross-sections. Essentially, the holding of a pin 100 is analogous to the second embodiment.

[0049] Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a fifth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, the holding device 20 can be moved along the second sides 16 and pivoted relative to the second side 60 of the plate 12 via an adjustment device 40.

[0050] The pivotable and sliding bearing of the holding devices 20 makes it possible to arrange pens with different leads 102 and diameters so that the lower end of a lead 102 is located at the endpoint 110.

[0051] Fig. Figure 5 further shows marking lines 50 arranged on the plate 12. The marking lines 50 define the maximum depth to which a pin 100 may protrude from a holding device 20. In particular, the marking lines 50 define the zero line for the pin 100. Marking slots may also be provided instead of marking lines 50. The marking lines 50 make it easier for a user to see whether the pin 100 needs to be pushed further into or out of the holding device 20.

[0052] Fig. Figure 6 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a sixth embodiment with stops 60 for adjusting the position of drawing instruments. In the sixth embodiment, the marking template 10 also has the marking lines 50. In addition, the holding devices 20 each have an adjusting screw 28, which serves to fix the pins 100.

[0053] Unlike in the embodiment mentioned above, the alignment of the pin 100 is not carried out via the marking line 50 but via the stops 60.

[0054] The stops 60 each have a scale 64 and 68. Scale 64 corresponds to scale 18 on the left-hand first page 14. Scale 68 corresponds to scale 18 on the right-hand side of the first page 14 of the marking template 10. Since the scales 18 on the two opposite first pages 14 have different angles relative to each other, the stops 60 can only be aligned with the plate 12 at a designated position. The stops 60 also have marking lines 62 and 66 that extend along a straight section of the plate or edge of the stops 60. After the stops 60 have been attached to the corresponding scale divisions 18 via their respective scale divisions 64 and 68, the pin 100 can be pushed out until the lead 102 reaches the endpoint 110 at its lower end and rests on the marking line 62 or 66.The position of the pin 100 can then be fixed using the adjusting screw 28.

[0055] Fig. Figure 7 shows a schematic representation of a marking template 10 of a seventh embodiment with adapters 80 and 90 inserted to reduce the diameters of receiving areas 24 and 26.

[0056] In the seventh embodiment, the receiving areas 22, 24, and 26 extend over a greater length than, for example, in the second embodiment. To ensure secure holding without tilting of a pen with a substantially constant cross-section along its entire length, an adapter 80 can be inserted into the second receiving area 24 and an adapter 84 into the third receiving area 26. The adapter 80 has a receiving area 82 which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the receiving area 22 of the holding device 20 of the marking template 10. The adapter 84 has a receiving area 86 with a diameter that corresponds to both the diameter of the receiving area 22 of the holding device 20 and the diameter of the receiving area 82 of the adapter 80.

[0057] Fig. Figure 8 shows a schematic representation of the drawing template 10 of the sixth embodiment with a stop 70 for adjusting the position of drawing instruments of a further embodiment. The stop 70 differs from the stop 60 in that it has side walls 72. The side walls 72 ensure a secure position of the stop 70 when adjusting the position of the pen. When adjusting the position of the pen 100, a user positions the stop 70 against the corresponding scale 18 such that a corresponding area of ​​the stop 70 with its associated scale 64 or 68 rests against the scale 18. The side walls 72 are provided to prevent tilting, slipping, or any other displacement, holding the stop 70 in position.In further embodiments, the distance between the two side walls 72 can also be chosen such that the stop 70 holds itself in place after being placed on the plate 12. This further simplifies the determination of the pin's position.

[0058] Fig. Figure 9 shows various schematic views of the attack 70 of Fig. 8. In particular, stops 60 and 70 can be used for both sides 14 of the marking template 10.

[0059] As in Fig. As further shown in Figure 9, the stop 70 has wider marking surfaces 74 and 76. With a stop 60, the mine 102 can slip due to the narrow design of the marking lines 62 and 66. The wide design of the marking surfaces 74 and 76 prevents this, even with very thin mines 102.

[0060] Fig. Figure 10 shows an enlarged schematic representation of an area of ​​the plate 12 of a marking template 10 of a seventh embodiment with a scribing edge 52. In order to also achieve scribing of sheets with a surface that does not require protection using the marking template 10, as is possible in the prior art with conventional scribing templates, a scribing edge 52 can be additionally provided in further embodiments. The scribing edge 52 extends essentially as an extension of the second side 16. Furthermore, scribing for marking workpieces via the scribing edge 52 can only be carried out if no drawing instrument is inserted in a holding device 20. If a drawing instrument were inserted in the holding device 20, it or the lead 102 of a pen 100 would protrude beyond the scribing edge 52, so that no contact with a workpiece could occur.In alternative embodiments, scribing via the scribing edge 52 can only be carried out if the holding device 20 has been removed beforehand.

[0061] The additional scribing edge 52 can have a defined distance from the zero line used by the drawing instrument or a pen 100, allowing for easy conversion between marking with the scribing edge 52 and marking with a drawing instrument. For example, the scribing edge 50 has a distance of 5 mm or 10 mm from the end position 110. If the marking template 10 is to be used for marking by scribing, the user must subtract 5 mm or 10 mm, as indicated on the marking template, to obtain the dimension that can be scribed with the scribing edge 52 by aligning it with the corresponding mark.

[0062] The Fig. Figures 11 a) - g) show different cross-sections of receiving areas 22 and 92 of holding devices 20 and an adapter 90. Fig. Figure 11 a) shows a recording area 22 with a round cross-section.

[0063] Fig. Figure 11 b) shows a recording area 22 with an elliptical cross-section.

[0064] Fig. Figure 11 c) shows a recording area 22 with a square cross-section and Fig. 11 d) a receiving area 22 with a rectangular cross-section.

[0065] Furthermore, it shows Fig. 11 e) a recording area 22 with a polygonal, in particular hexagonal, cross-section and Fig. 11 f) a receiving area 22 with a triangular cross-section.

[0066] Finally, it shows Fig.11 g) a holding device 20 with a receiving area 22, into which an adapter 90 with a receiving area 92 is inserted. The cross-section of the receiving area 22 can therefore be both reduced and changed via the adapter 90.

[0067] The marking template 10 described in the preceding figure description is particularly suitable for sheet metal work when workpieces with a non-destructive surface need to be marked. Since the surface must not be damaged and conventional marking templates are unsuitable, the marking templates 10 enable precise marking without the need for time-consuming marking steps.
