[0019] The said patent is very close to our claimed one, both of them are suitable to be used in all the places and they are intelligently accurate in measuring. But at the same time, they have their differences too, one of the important contrasts between them is the mentioned device uses the mobile phone to display the related data while we used a tuner on the gadget to show the numbers without other devices’ demand.

[0020] A glass cutting device with digital measurement and various attachments is available for working at different heights and locations. Made of compressed plastic, the gadget features a folding handle for elevated work. It includes two laser and digital meters, using a resistant nylon thread in the head to measure glass at angles.

[0021] In the glass-cutting industry, traditional practices have predominantly relied on manual techniques, which come with numerous challenges and complexities. Until now, the process of cutting glass often involved handling large, cumbersome sheets, requiring tools such as heavy sacks and diamond cutters to achieve the desired precision. This method has not only proved to be labor-intensive but also limited in terms of efficiency and accessibility.

[0022] One significant aspect of glass cutting is its applicability at varying altitudes; however, these operations are customarily confined to specialized glass-cutting workshops. This limitation poses difficulties for those needing to perform cuts in diverse locations. The tools traditionally used in this industry tend to be heavy and unwieldy, making them challenging to transport and maneuver, particularly in tight or elevated spaces. So, the claimed gadget can solve the mentioned problems by being small, light, and useful at the same time.Solution of Problem

It can move between the two edges of the glass and make edges. (In the traditional way of cutting glass on the table, a vacuum was placed under the table and around the glass of water so that the edges of the glass are not sharp and the hand of the glass is not cut)

[0037] 13- Attachment number two, which is in the shape of a big F, and when the glass is cut, it can be used to cut and separate the glass. It is made of iron and is 10 to 15 cm. In this way, the excess glass is edged and the original glass is easily separated from the excess.

[0038] 14- Appendix number three is a kind of mortar around the glass, plaster was used in the old days, and now silicone glue is used on the edges of the glass to keep its stability in place, and it has a small size.

[0039] 15- Attachment number four, when installing the glass in the environment, a series of plastic rivets are placed between the glass frame and the glass itself so that the glass is level and beautiful, and it also causes leakage and prevents the entry of cold and heat.

[0040] 16- Attachment number five that there is a rectangular polisher for cleaning and cleaning double-glazed glass and rails, which can work in analog form.

[0041] 17- Attachment number six is a deicing handle made of plastice can be used to remove ice from the inside of the house so that it does not reach the damaged glass.

[0042] Description and functionality:

[0043] As mentioned, the handle and body are made of compressed plastic, and the tuner is ready-made.

[0044] The meter is laser and has a common battery with the tuner. The tuner is a small LCD screen that is installed on the device.

[0045] The aluminum gauge and glass diameter information are processed on the tuner.

[0046] Two diamonds for cutting extend from the device, with their control volumes mounted on the device and placed next to the tuner. When the measurement is complete, the volumes rotate the diamonds into an analog position. By moving the handle body, the cutting and glass cutting processes are carried out.

[0047] The string is made of resistant nylon thread. Its head part has a guide which is placed at an angle, which can help the overall dimensions for more accurate measurement and glass cutting.Advantage Effects of the Invention

[0082] In the cutting process, when the machine is placed on the glass, we remove the string or the spool and put it on the glass so that we can make the cut to the size and length we want, straight or to the diameter, circle, triangle, and rectangle, and even with meters. Digital measurements can be taken, and the glass-cutting process can be done.

[0083] This device combines other methods. For example, in glass cutting, a multi-meter sack is used to calculate the size and angle, and then it is cut with a diamond, but in the claimed system, the measurement is done digitally and analogously.

[0084] The glass cutter size is small but contains parts and tasks such as measuring the dimensions and size, the process of measuring the glass millimeter which is very important (measurement of the glass diameter) and used to be guessed based on experience. It also prevents waste because when you want to cut glass, the glass breaker groove performs the cutting accurately based on the exact measuring.

[0085] This new glass-cutting gadget is designed for use in various industries, including glass cutting, construction, interior architecture, and decoration. It is also suitable for home use. Its compact size and multifunctional features make it adaptable for different applications across all sectors.
