Abstract:
A device for setting elongated studs having in transverse plane a given fixed length and a given fixed width, the device comprising:an elongated rigid face plate having a fixed length and including an upper surface, a lower surface, a front edge, a rear edge, and opposite end edges; the lower surface defining a first locating plane; and an elongated rigid bar member extending from the lower surface of the face plate and including a rear surface residing in a second locating plane that is perpendicular to the first locating plane; a first square inside corner being formed on the rear edge of the face plate and being defined by a first L-shaped notch in the rear edge, the first L-shaped notch including a first surface and a second surface operatively intersecting the first surface at a ninety degree angle; the first surface residing in a third locating plane that is perpendicular to the first locating plane and parallel to the second locating plane; the second surface residing in a fourth locating plane that is perpendicular to both the first locating plane and the second locating plane; a second square inside corner being formed on the rear edge of the face plate and being defined by a second L-shaped notch in the rear edge, the second L-shaped notch including a first surface and a second surface operatively intersecting the first surface of the second L-shaped notch at a ninety degree angle; the first surface residing in a fifth locating plane that is perpendicular to th first locating plane and parallel to the second locating plane; the second surface residing in a sixth locating plane that is perpendicular to both the first locating plane and the second locating plane; the second inside corner being formed a predetermined distance from the first inside corner along the length of face plate; the second surface of the second inside corner being directed in a 180 degree opposite direction from the second surface of the first inside corner; and a third square inside corner identical to the second inside coiner and being formed in the rear edge of the face plate a given distance from the first inside corner that is greater than the predetermined distance between the first inside corner and the second inside corner.
