Precision Table Saw Miter (One Degree Indexing)
Toothbrush and Paste Combination (Self Sealing)
A patent attorney will agree the scale relative to the product plug is established. The idea is obvious within the setch.

I wasn't near a computer or sketch pad when I roughed out this neat idea on a stickum note.
Why "hard mount" fixtures to walls? There is no need to. Broken off, the wall is impossible to repair.
