US Patent 7490412 Drafting tool

A drafting tool that is designed to assist an individual in drafting words or designs in perfect lines, curves, or diagonals. The drafting tool is similar to a standard ruler and includes a base, a top section, and a hinge connecting the base to the top section. A portion of the top section is placed against the base, allowing a stencil to be held in place between these two portions. A series of markings on the top surface of the top section will allow an individual to properly position the stencil in relation to the drafting tool and also the item that is or will be written on by an individual.
