ABSTRACT:
A new device is provided for measuring where to make cuts for electrical outlets, windows, etc. in wall paneling. Exact locations of the cuts to be made are determined using this device which comprises an upper body member detachably affixed to a lower body member, each body member having an upper and a lower arm assembly. The body and arm members are preferably of aluminum stock and are fastened together with copper coated rivets. The measuring device of this invention can be placed on a wall to be paneled and the body and arm members positioned at the location of wall intersections or junctions and electrical outlets, windows, etc., respectively. The entire device so positioned can then be easily transported to the panel to be cut, the appropriate cutouts can be exactly marked on the panel, and the exact cuts needed are then easily made. The rivets holding the assembly together are such that sufficient force is exerted at each joint to prevent substantial movement of joints in transportation of the device from wall site to the panel to be cut, yet each joint is readily adjustable and moveable to allow precise positioning of the components at the desired locations at the wall site.
