Claims
- 1. A tape scriber and alignment device for use for scribing or cutting of drywall, box board, and the like, said device including a solid portion having a slot therein, said slot designed for providing accommodation of the tab end of a tape measure for use for measuring distances for scribing and cutting of said drywall and board, a stem portion extending laterally from said slotted portion, inline with the tab end of a tape measure, said stem portion having a slot therethrough, and provided for accommodating the insertion of a cutter razor tip there through for cutting upon any measured drywall and box board, a substantially angulated member extending integrally from the backend of the solid portion, said angulated member having an inclined cavity provided there through, and provided for accommodating a pencil therein for marking of the wall or board at the precise measurement by the tape measure during its adjustment, the inclined cavity of the angulated member angulating the pencil to provide for a scribe point aligned directly under the tab end of the tape measure during a measurement so that as the tape and scribing device are moved, a pencil mark is made upon the drywall and board to furnish a scribe line for further processing, whereby said tape scriber may be used for both scribing and cutting of drywall or box board during usage and application.
- 2. The tape scriber device of claim 1 wherein said slot within the stem is elongated to accommodate the insertion a box cutter or razor tip therein sufficiently to allow for some depth of penetrated cutting within the drywall and box board during its usage.
- 3. The tape scriber device of claim 1 wherein said inclined cavity of the angulated member having sufficient size to closely accommodate the insertion of a pencil therethrough, to provide for the lower pencil tip to enter into alignment under the tab end of the tape measure to assure a precise scribed line measurement during usage of this scriber device.
- 4. The tape scriber device of claim 3, wherein the lower end of the inclined cavity opens partially through the bottom of the solid portion and the lower edge of the angulated member to assure precise location of the pencil tip under the tab end of the tape measure while scribing of dry wall and box board.
- 5. The tape scriber device of claim 1, wherein said device is integrally formed as a one piece item through molding.
- 6. The tape scriber device of claim 5, wherein the device is integrally molded of a polymer.
- 7. The tape scriber device of claim 1, wherein the slot of the stem and the bottom of the inclined cavity of the angulated member are in lateral alignment.
