Trim marking tool - Patent 5291663 GEOMETRICAL INSTRUMENTS GAUGE marking tool for indicating bend and cut lines on a sheet material Once the tool is set for a particular style window or door, marking of numerous pieces of sheet material can proceed without resetting and pieces bent and cut accordingly. Center piece looks and feels like aluminum and has a ruler measurement up to 6 inches Outside of the ruler is flexible metal like tines? BACKGROUND When applying sheet material, for example, to a house which is being sided, special provision must be made for preparing trim pieces for the various window and door openings. Each opening requires custom trimmed pieces which must be cut and bent manually prior to application to the house. Typically, this is the most time consuming aspect of applying siding as the open side areas are easily covered with the standard sheet material. However, when making trim for a window or door opening, a series of measurements are required, which must be transcribed on to opposite ends of a sheet which is then cut and bent to fit in place. This operation is repeated for each side of the opening. Since this is such a time consuming aspect of the job, a tool for improving the ease with which the trim pieces are marked and cut could save substantially in labor costs on any siding installation. A trim marking tool is disclosed which utilizes a plurality of pins located in a slot and movable therein such that the pins can be aligned to conform to measurements taken. The pins are locked into position and a sheet material is placed on a base of the tool with an upper member containing the pins then closed on a lower member such that the pins indent the sheet material for indicating that either bending or cutting is required. Once the tool is set for a particular style window or door, marking of numerous pieces of sheet material can proceed without resetting and pieces bent and cut accordingly.
