Y ruler: A Multifunctional Ruler Blending Precision and Aesthetics

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54798621792_ab4c410900_b.jpg Concept The concept behind the Y ruler is inspired by ancient brass protractors, devices used to orient objects at specific angles in space for measurement. Modern protractors are often made of plastic with a rotating pin to connect to the ruler. While the pivot point of these protractors is easy to move, they are difficult to fix at a specific angle for drawing and measurement. This is why Yuan Design Studio redesigned this stationery item, enhancing its durability and aesthetic appeal while improving its measurement functions, making precise drawing effortless. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54798625187_16c95b93e1_b.jpg Design The two main components of the Y ruler are precision-milled from a single piece of aluminum, making it lightweight, robust, and textured. An embedded magnet system connects the components, allowing the Y ruler to rotate smoothly while remaining stable when you need to draw at a specific angle. You'll notice a satisfying balance between movement and stillness as you unfold or fold the Y ruler. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799481791_83ec35ed0d_b.jpg Furthermore, a glass piece with a center mark is integrated into the main body of the Y ruler, allowing you to easily mark the center of circles – a feature not found in ordinary protractors. The transparent glass also ensures your view is unobstructed while drawing. One arm of the Y ruler is marked with 12 cm and features 24 holes, while the other arm is marked with a 5-inch scale. The dual-arm design of the Y ruler not only serves for measurement but also functions as a circle drawing tool for diameters ranging from 60mm to 290mm, with its simple design enhancing the overall drawing experience for professionals. Unlike ordinary rulers, we've enlarged the hinge of the Y ruler and fixed a piece of glass with a center mark inside. By rotating the enlarged hinge, you can easily find precise angles and mark the center point, something ordinary protractors cannot do. The transparent glass portion within the hinge does not obstruct the user's view while drawing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799812230_fe9656202e_b.jpg One arm of the Y ruler is marked with 12 cm, and the other with 5 inches, for measurement. Additionally, the Y ruler features a 24-hole design, serving as a circle drawing tool for diameters ranging from 60mm to 290mm. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799481786_19a5970896_b.jpg Functionality/Features The Y ruler is a multifunctional tool that, unlike other rulers, incorporates all the following features - https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799738453_26b298c921_b.jpg (1) Straight Ruler x 2 - 5 inches, 12 cm (2) Compass/Circle Drawing Tool - 60-290 mm diameter (3) Set Square (4) Protractor Scale Reading in 1-degree increments (5) Instant Center Point Marking (6) Ergonomic Design for Precise Drawing and Measurement (7) Compact Size (1 31⁄32 × 6 57⁄64 inches | 50 mm × 175 mm) (8) Constructed with Robust Materials and a Durable Coated Surface https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799817240_b831ecb163_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799738838_2037e4d34b_b.jpg
