The Design

About Les L-formet tegnelineal

Les er en tegnelineal, der bruges til hurtigt og præcist at skabe L-former. Værktøjet er baseret på en traditionel 30 centimeters trekantlineal, så det tjener to formål. Flytbare tapper placeres i de ønskede positioner, og skæreguiden følges derefter med en pen eller blyant. Formerne kan være symmetriske eller asymmetriske, med længder fra 2 til 20 centimeter i trin på 1 centimeter. Gentagen måling er ikke nødvendig, og den rette vinkel er allerede indstillet. Les er lavet af plast ved hjælp af laserskæring og støbning.

Unique Properties
You can quickly and precisely draw L shapes, usually decorative purpose. It is useful when you have to create lots of them.
Very easy to use, you only need to put the tabs in the right places. The shape can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, the minimum length is 2 cm, the maximum length is 20 cm and the step is 1 cm.
For practical reason, it is a 2 in 1 tool because the basic is a traditional 30 cm triangle ruler.
Dimensions & Packaging
300 mm x 300 mm triangle ruler.

Production Technology
Used material is plastic with laser cutting and molding.
Design Challenge
At first I designed several physical L shapes with moving tabs, later teeth and handles. They all worked fine but I found low demand to such tool on the market, so I had to increase the practical side of that. Finally I combined the L shape tool with a traditional triangle ruler.
Research
I asked online 50 graphic designers and craftsmen. They liked the idea and found useful but as they don't need that tool every day, so they don't want to buy one, as an independent product. The result, I had to combine that with a common tool.
Inspiration
I like the uniqueness of the crafts, so I made my design portfolio holder by my hand.
I had to draw more then 80 L shapes around rectangles, as decorative items. I decided to facilitate my work with a special tool.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2018 in Budapest and finished in May.
Operation Flow
When you have to draw several L shapes, with this tool you don't have to measure every time and the right angle is also already given. It is more precise and quicker way to do that than with a regular ruler or by hand.
