Abstract

A set square for manual ceramic cutters, including a ruler intended to be rotatably mounted and secured to a base of a manual ceramic cutter, defining various angles; a stop that is mounted on the ruler and can be moved longitudinally; and a tightening element for securing to the ruler. The cross-section of the ruler includes two oblique planes that converge towards an intermediate surface provided with a longitudinal recess having a generally T-shaped cross section, for mounting the tightening element. The lateral stop includes two oblique planes facing the ruler and having the same slope as the oblique planes of the ruler, and which converge towards an intermediate surface that has an opening to mount the tightening element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A set square for manual ceramic cutters comprising:
a ruler rotatably mounted and secured to a base of a manual ceramic cutter, defining various angles; a stop that is mounted on the ruler and can be moved longitudinally and a tightening element for securing the lateral stop to the ruler; wherein the cross-section of the ruler comprises two oblique planes that converge towards an intermediate surface provided with a longitudinal recess having a generally T-shaped cross section, for mounting the tightening element; the lateral stop comprises two oblique planes facing the ruler and having the same slope as the oblique planes of the ruler, and which converge towards an intermediate surface that has an opening to mount the tightening element, and wherein the intermediate surface of the lateral stop has a width smaller than the intermediate surface of the ruler, such that contact between the ruler and the lateral stop is established between the oblique planes of the ruler and the oblique planes of the lateral stop.

2. The set square according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element comprises: a head that is housed and can be moved and not rotated in the longitudinal recess of the ruler; a threaded rod that passes through the hole of the lateral stop; and a tightening knob mounted on said threaded rod.

3. The set square according to claim 1 , wherein one of the oblique planes of the ruler converges with a plane parallel to the shaft of the tightening element and is extended along the ruler; and one of the oblique planes of the stop converges with a plane that, in the securing position of the stop to the ruler, it is arranged in parallel and very close to the plane of the ruler, preventing the relative rotation thereof.

4. The set square according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral stop has a first section that defines the oblique planes in contact with the ruler and a second section articulated on the first section by a rotary shaft.
