Abstract:
A scoring apparatus for sheet goods, used in conjunction with a T-square, said apparatus comprising:a handle; a clamp, operatively associated with said handle, wherein said clamp is slidably moved along a blade of the T-square when the clamp and associated handle are in an open state and is frictionally locked to the T-square blade when the clamp and associated handle are in a closed state; and wherein said clamp further comprises a top member connected to said handle at a first position; a bottom member, where the top and bottom members are joined at a nose; and a back member, operatively coupling the bottom member to the handle at a second position spaced apart from the first position, such that rotation of the handle relative to the top clamp member causes at least the top member and bottom member to be drawn toward one another and to frictionally engage the T-square blade; and a scoring mechanism extending from the handle, said scoring mechanism being suitable for cutting at least a surface of the sheet as the T-square is moved relative to an edge of the sheet.
