Chapeau rapporté vissé. Appui parfait talon et face.

Do you have any idea what the rapporté vissé means in this context? Thanks

Bolted foot piece

Hi,
This tool is a carpenter's square, with one of it's sides having a kind of t-shape. The term "équerre à chapeau" can be found in the grandico with no English eqiuvalent unfortunately. From the image I found (see link below), it seems that there is an added "foot piece" as such which is probably bolted into one side of the square. This is an educated guess and the for want of a better term... foot could maybe be replaced by something else.

detachable screw cap

'just a guess. I found rapporté as detachable in my old Harrap's and the other two bits separately in Le Grand Dictionnaire but I couldn't find the whole term anywhere.

flanged ... with shoe strip

I've encountered this previously as "équerre à talon". Compare the following pictures:

From my notes :
Équerre à talon Try square with shoe strip [shoe strip in White, p.76]

The reference is a photo of a straightedge used in concreting work, which in section is T-shaped, i.e. with a double flange called the "shoe strip".

Otherwise "flanged try square".

Either way, it's screw-fixed / bolted on.
