peer agreement (net): +2ruler/cutter guide Explanation: I can't find anything in the English-speaking countries that is used for both wallpaper and carpets. If it were just for carpets, I'd go with smoothing ruler/cutter. I seldom translate the German "Profil" as profile. In carpentry, it's moulding. Here it's a straight edge or ruler. Smoothing Aluminum Ruler (Cutter) Designed to achieve perfect wallpaper trimming into skirting boards, can also be used for trimming into ceilings, used with a sharp trimming knife, a perfect trim ... http://www.ruifengtrading.com/products/31_wallpaper_tools/wa... Aluminum Wallpaper Press-ruler http://www.seagulltools.com/10-9tg.html 1. A combination ruler and cutter guide comprising: a flat, elongated body member having top and bottom surfaces and end and outer defining side edges; indicia markings on the top surface of said body member adjacent at least one of said outer defining edges; In the use of the present ruler and cutter guide it is merely laid on the material to be cut and the cutter member drawn across the line to be cut after first depressing the rearward portion 36. The end of the ruler on which the cutter member travels has an extension 10a of the slot 16 and beyond the indicia so that the cutter member can travel the full length of the indicia containing portion of the ruler. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4987812.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2008-12-14 15:40:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction: If it were just for WALLPAPER, I'd go with smoothing ruler/cutter. |
