Abstract

The present invention consists of a device (1) suitable for use during molding work for the measurement of at least one angle formed by at least one first surface and at least one second surface and for conveying the angle or angles to cutting equipment for the adjustment of cutting angles. The device is comprised of at least one first arm (2) and at least one second arm (3) which are connected to each other via at least one connecting device (4) and pivotally arranged in relation to each other via at least one first axis of rotation (5) and that the device (1) includes at least one angle indicator (36) with which the mutual angle between the first arm (2) and the second arm (3) is measured. The device (1) includes at least one unit which indicates a part of angle (V), preferably half of the angle (V), between the first arm (2) and the second arm (3) and that this unit is suitable for use in the adjustment of the angle in a cutting machine. The present invention also concerns a method for use of the device.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A device suitable for measuring at least one angle formed by at least one first surface and at least one second surface and conveying this angle or a part of this angle to cutting equipment for the adjustment of at least one cutting angle, said device comprised of at least one first arm and at least one second arm which are connected to each other via at least one connecting device and pivotally arranged in relation to each other via at least one first axis of rotation and that the device includes at least one angle indicator with which the mutual angle between the first arm and the second arm is measured, and that the device is comprised of at least one unit which indicates an angle that consists of part of angle between the first arm and the second arm characterized in that the unit which indicates angle consists of an adjustment plate which is pivotally connected around the axis of rotation to the first arm'"'"'s free end and that the adjustment plate via a bracket, positioned at a radial distance from the axis of rotation, is connected to a guide strut or similar, said guide strut being connected to a bracket in the second arm at a radial distance from the axis of rotation.
