Abstract
The present invention is a laser aligning tool that has two weight bodies, a laser pointer unit, and a threaded tubular shaft. The laser pointer unit is positioned within one of the two weight bodies. While both weight bodies are similar in shape and mass, and both connected to the threaded tubular shaft, only the weight body without the laser pointer unit can be detached from the threaded tubular shaft. The user may remove and place one weight body to the flange opening and introduce the threaded tubular shaft with the other weight body to the opening of another flange in preparation of alignment. The user may then turn on the laser pointer unit and ensure the laser beam traverse through both threaded tubular shaft and the detached weight body for proper alignment.
Claims5
A laser aligning tool comprises:
- a first weight body;
- a second weight body;
- a laser pointer unit;
- a threaded tubular shaft;
- a central axis;
- the threaded tubular shaft comprising a first end and a second end;
- the first weight body, the second weight body, the laser pointer unit, the threaded tubular shaft being concentrically positioned along the central axis;
- the second weight body being threadedly engaged with the second end of the threaded tubular shaft;
- the first weight body being terminally connected with the first end of the threaded tubular shaft;
- the laser pointer unit being internally connected to the first weight body;
- the first weight body comprising a first conical surface, a first cylindrical surface and a first base surface;
- the first conical surface comprising a first apex;
- the first base surface being concentrically positioned around the central axis;
- the first cylindrical surface being perimetrically connected around the first base surface;
- the first conical surface being perimetrically connected around the first cylindrical surface, opposite of the first base surface;
- the first apex being externally oriented about the first weight body;
- the second weight body comprising a second conical surface, a second cylindrical surface, a second base surface and a threaded channel;
- the second conical surface comprising a second apex;
- the second base surface being concentrically positioned around the central axis;
- the second cylindrical surface being perimetrically connected around the second base surface;
- the second conical surface being perimetrically connected around the second cylindrical surface, opposite of the second base surface;
- the second apex being externally oriented about the second weight body;
- the first apex and the second apex being oriented towards each other;
- the threaded channel penetrating the second weight body about the second apex along the central axis;
- the first end of the threaded tubular shaft being terminally connected to the first apex;
- and
- the second end of the threaded tubular shaft being threadedly engaged into the threaded channel.
