A template by which doors or other panels may be easily cut to shape to fit predetermined openings therefor. The template comprises flexible strips along at least two adjacent edges extensible under the effect of spring loaded rods at various points along the strips and having a retracting mechanism interconnecting all the spring loaded rods and operable through a single manipulating handle with a further single manipulating handle associated with means to lock the spring loaded rods in differen...

A drilling and production template for sub-sea wells comprises a plurality of individual limbs (1-4) each with a central hub (10-14) at one end of an arm (11-41) and a drilling receptable (12-42) on the other end of the arm. The hubs are of different diameters such that they fit within each other in a telescopic manner. They have cut-out (27, 37, 47) accommodate the arms of the other limbs when installed. The template may be deployed onto a pre-installed foundation with the arms stacked vertical...

One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for creating a reusable template for use in a text-processing system. In this embodiment, the method includes using a graphical user interface (GUI) to display a representation of a condition of a user-defined rule that may be used to process textual information. The condition includes an attribute name, an operator, and an attribute value. Upon receipt of input from a user via the GUI, the method further includes creating a template that has...

A template having a silhouette which represents the outline of a consumer-type article such as that of a craftsman and mechanic tool is packaged with the article by means of a backing member and an encasing element received on and supported by the backing member. The encasing element when received on and supported by the backing member thereby substantially immovably confines the article as well as the template therebeneath and forms a package of sturdy construction. The template is a unitary st...

A plastic clip of generally lyrate configuration has a pair of arms upstanding from a neck portion which overlies the base of the clip. An instrument to receive the clip has a T-shaped cutout void for the clip base on the instrument underside, with the clip neck snugged between inwardly directed shoulder flanges of said instrument overlying the cutout. The resulting T-shaped void is somewhat elongate with the span between the shouldering flanges being substantially equal to the thickness of the ...

Each of four templates comprises crossed strips which define straight edges for aligning masons lines. Additional strips are fixed to, and extend perpendicularly from, one end of each of the cross strips. Notches in these additional strips define pin locations for wall and footing lines.

A process for the manufacture of precision flat parts such as masks, templates, and the like having very small openings therein with high contour details yet with substantial material thickness utilizes a metallized glass carrier having a stencil etched thereon with a negative working photo resist laminated on it. Exposure of photo resist is achieved through the glass so that maximum intensity of light in the photo resist occurs at the juncture between the photo resist and the glass carrier for ...

Described is a lifting device for cylindrical templates in printing machines, with an inking tube extending through each cylindrical template, the lifting device travelling along a rail running parallel to the direction of the cylindrical template and along a rail travelling in a direction normal thereto and which can be releasably connected to the inking tube. The lifting device is constructed in the form of a hydraulically or pneumatically operated telescopic arm, always in the vertical positi...

A machine for production shops to make templates, the machine including a flat base having stops against which a template blank can be rested two tracks going north to south, or vice-versa, along which a first gauge carriage travels ONLY north to south, or vice-versa, and which carries also two tracks moving east to west, in which a second gauge carriage travels; the second gauge carriage also carrying a precision telescopic punch aimed against the template blank.

A template holder and templates specifically designed for utilization with the holder are provided for use with woodworking devices to facilitate the forming of letters in producing nameplates and other sign structures. The template holder comprises one piece of plastic molded into the general configuration of a square having a peripheral rim, four exterior vertical sides each having a flange projecting from the lower edge, a recessed lip, including a magnetic strip located at the midpoint of th...
