Abstract
A device for locating studs on a surface such as a wall is disclosed. The device comprises a housing, a plurality of magnets disposed in the housing, a level placed between the plurality of magnets and line lasers in which one line laser is provided at one end of the housing and another line laser is provided at an opposite end of the housing. A flux density of the plurality of magnets is used to determine a location and a distance between the studs on the surface. The level is used to accurately determine the position of the studs. The line lasers are configured to emit laser beams at each side of the housing to label location of successive studs for remainder of the surface based on the distance calculated using the plurality of magnets and the level.

A system for a device to locate a stud, the device comprising:
- a wall;
- studs;
- a housing;
- a plurality of magnets disposed in the housing;
- a level placed between the plurality of magnets;
- line lasers, one of said line lasers is provided at one end of the housing and another of said line lasers is provided at an opposite end of the housing;
- and
- a flux density of the plurality of magnets determines a location and a distance between the studs on a surface, said surface being said wall, said level is used to accurately determine the position of one of the studs, said line lasers emit laser beams at each side of the housing to label location of successive said studs based on the distance calculated using the plurality of magnets and the level.
A system for a device for locating a stud, the device comprising:
- a wall;
- studs;
- a housing;
- a plurality of magnets disposed in the housing;
- a level placed between the plurality of magnets, said level includes a level vertical axis that passes through a center thereof, and wherein the level aligns with the vertical axis of the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing, wherein the processor is configured to receive a flux density of each of the plurality of magnets;
- line lasers, one of said line lasers provided at one end of the housing and another of said line lasers is provided at an opposite end of the housing;
- said processor receives said flux density of each of the plurality of magnets and determines a location and a distance between the studs on a surface, said surface being said wall, said processor further calibrates the line lasers to emit laser beams at each side of the housing to label said location of the successive said studs based on the distance calculated using the plurality of magnets and the level.
