Quoin template

Abstract

A quoin template made for aiding a mason in constructing quoin corners. The tool is fabricated from aluminum flat stock bent at 90 degrees with two horizontal faces of equal length comprising an upper and lower face bent at 90 degrees to form an extruded flat surface. The quoin template contains a corner brace for added strength and a handle situated at an area for proper balance. The quoin template is designed to be set on a quoin corner and aid a mason in aligning and offsetting the first course of brick on a quoin corner. The quoin template is designed to be quickly mounted and removed during the construction of quoin corners.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A quoin template comprised of flat stock aluminum bent at 90 degrees with faces extending horizontally of an equal dimension, and faces extending vertically of an equal dimension. The upper and lower horizontal faces are also bent at 90 degrees comprising a protruded surface to support and align offset brick on quoin corners. A corner brace is welded to outer corner for additional support and a handle is located at an area to provide proper balance for ease of handling. The device is constructed of aluminum material for it's lightweight composition and anti-rust qualities.  
     
     
         2 . A quoin template which is configured for a more productive and accurate means of constructing quoin corners, by reducing common steps used in laying the first course of brick on each quoin corner, such as measuring the brick offset and aligning the brick.  
     
     
         3 . A quoin template, which provides an extruded surface to support and align the first course of brick on a quoin corner ensuring each quoin corner, is offset consistently.  
     
     
         4 . A quoin template, which is quickly mountable and removable as exspediously.
