Abstract:
An alignment tool for connection to a work component and for use in aligning the work component with a work piece, wherein the work component has at least a first reference surface that extends in a first direction. The alignment tool includes a body having at least a first reference surface that extends in the first direction and having at least one work piece guide surface that extends in a second direction that is perpendicular to the at least first reference surface, and a clamp assembly connected to the body and extending in the second direction past the at least first reference surface of the body, wherein when the alignment tool is to be connected to the work component, the clamp assembly is movable to engage the work component and to draw together and hold in abutting engagement the respective first reference surfaces of the alignment tool and work component.

Claim (Index 25):
A method of connecting an alignment tool to a work component for use in aligning the work component with a work piece, wherein the work component has at least a first side wall surface extending longitudinally in a first direction and at least a T-shaped slot spaced apart from the at least first side wall surface and extending longitudinally in the first direction, the method comprising the steps of:\n holding the alignment tool in a position adjacent an end of the work component, wherein the alignment tool includes a body having at least a first reference surface extending in the first direction, a retention element spaced from the at least first reference surface, at least a first guide surface extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and a clamp assembly connected to the body; moving the alignment tool toward the work component so as to insert the retention element into the T-shaped slot that is spaced from the at least first side wall surface of the work component; moving the at least first reference surface of the alignment tool into a position opposite the first side wall surface of the work component; extending a fastener of the clamp assembly in the second direction beyond the first side wall surface of the work component; moving the clamp assembly to engage the first side wall surface of the work component and to draw together and hold in abutting engagement the at least first reference surface of the alignment tool and the first side wall surface of the work component.
