Patent ID: 11850771

Abstract:
A template (100) for controlling application of material (620) around a protuberance (610) is disclosed. The protuberance (610) extends from a workpiece (600) and has a base (612). The template (100) comprises a first portion (110) and a second portion (130), removably attached to the first portion (110). The first portion (110) comprises a first inner peripheral edge (111) that at least partially defines a positioning opening (115) and that is geometrically complementary to at least a portion of the base (612) of the protuberance (610). The first portion (110) also comprises a first-portion environment-facing surface (114). The second portion (130) comprises a second-portion environment-facing surface (136), which partially overlaps with and is removably attached to the first-portion workpiece-facing surface (114), forming an interface (120) between the first-portion workpiece-facing surface (114) and the second-portion environment-facing surface (136).
