Door jamb adjusting tool

Abstract

A door jamb adjusting tool has telescoping pair of tubes wherein the larger diameter tube has a plurality of holes, at precise intervals, into any one of which holes fits a biased pin which is part of the thinner tube so as to block the sliding motion relative to each tube in order to set a precise width. A pair of <<T>> bars is situated at opposite ends of the tool and a template is mechanically fastened to each <<T>> bar. Each template is configured and sized for a particular door jamb's size and configuration. In this manner, a very precise alignment of the base of a doorjamb can be obtained.

1 . A door jamb adjusting tool comprising: 
 a larger diameter tube slidingly engaging over an inner tube in a telescoping relation;    said larger diameter tube having a plurality of holes and into any one of which said holes fits a biased pin;    said biased pin being mechanically attached to said inner tube so as to block sliding motion between said larger diameter tube and said inner tube;    a <<T>> bar situated at the distal end of said larger diameter tube and said inner tube; a template being mechnically fastened to said <<T>> bar;    said template having winglets.    
   
   
       2 . A doorjamb adjusting tool as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said <<T>> bars being perpendicularly located at opposite ends of said door jamb adjusting tool.    
   
   
       3 . A door jamb adjusting tool as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said template being <<L>> shaped with one part being mechanically fastened to the <<T>> bar and the other having winglets.    
   
   
       4 . A door jamb adjusting tool having the following method of use: 
 said door jamb adjusting tool being protracted to the desired width by sliding and locking tubes at a desired measurement;    a specific pair of template is mechanically fastened to <<T>> bars;    each said template having its equivalent winglet on the other template set at the edge of a jamb by moving said jamb so that it fits and both templates have their opposite winglets set on the edge of a stopper trim opposite the edge of said jamb.
