Three dimensional workpiece support and drill jig alignment device for placement of weight loading channels in the body of a model car
Abstract:
The embodiment is an L-shaped housing with a configuration that provides both for support to a small hand-held workpiece and to specific drill bit alignment toward the task of placing multiple, immediately adjacent, aligned channels within the body of a model car. To optimize car speed in the Pinewood Derby event, the child can specifically align and strategically place channels in the model car for the optimal loading of cylindrical weights. As an alternative to free-hand drilling with an attempt at sighting drill bit direction in two planes, the device provides for precise drill bit alignment to small hand-held workpieces. As an alternative to more complex drill jig and machine shop equipment, the device enables a child to safely and effectively introduce multiple, aligned channels with precision into the model car.
