Abstract

A positioning block for positioning an object on a work bench includes a body having a positioning hole defined therethrough and a first bolt extends through the positioning hole. A support portion is formed on one side of the body and has a horizontal surface and an upright surface. A flange extends from the body and the board is pressed on the flange. The horizontal surface is parallel to the bottom face of the body. An angle is defined between the horizontal surface and the upright surface.

Claims

1. A positioning block comprising:

a body having a positioning hole defined therethrough and a first bolt extending through the positioning hole, a support portion formed on a side of the body and having a horizontal surface and an upright surface, the horizontal surface being parallel to a bottom face of the body, an angle of 90 degrees defined between the horizontal surface and the upright surface, a groove defined in a connection portion between the horizontal surface and the upright surface, the body having a guide passage defined therein and a rod of an adjustment member slidably received in the guide passage, a threaded hole defined in a top face of the body and communicating with the guide passage, a third bolt is threadedly connected to the top threaded hole, the adjustment member having a stop and the rod extending from the stop which is located at one end of the support portion, the rod of the adjustment member having a threaded section extending from an end thereof, the threaded section threadedly connected to an inner threaded hole of the adjustment member to connect the rod and the stop, a locking member threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the body and reaching an interior of the guide passage so as to contact a surface of the rod of the adjustment member and position the rod of the adjustment member, the surface of the rod of the adjustment member having scales marked thereon.

2. The block as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rod of the adjustment member and the guide passage are engaged with each other by way of protrusion-and-recess.
