ABSTRACT:
The methods and means are concerned with processes and devices useful in marking wallboard, paneling, and the like for the accurate definition of the limits of cut-outs to be formed to receive outlet boxes, switch boxes, and the like. In the preferred embodiment, the means comprise a substantially flat strip having a pair of spaced-apart cut-outs or recesses formed therein which, therebetween, define a triangular projection. Terminal, lateral portions of the strip are bent over upon themselves to define thereof a pair of resilient clips -- the clips being resiliently receivable by walls of such outlet boxes, and switch boxes, and the like, to cause the projection to extend from the strip and box wall for marking of wallboard, paneling, and the like to denote the box wall location. To accommodate the marking means for engagement with wall junctures of the boxes, the means is bent transverse to an elongate axis thereof; accordingly, each clip engages a distinct wall of the box, and the projection extends from the wall juncture. The forming method sets forth the process of forming the novel marking means from a strip of material, and the locations marking method discloses a process of impressing cut-out location markings on wallboard, paneling and the like which, especially, can be practiced with the novel marking means.
