Abstract
A device and method for projecting visible level laser lines onto a work surface and measuring distances along the level laser lines. The device includes a self-leveling laser housing that allows the lasers to level when activated. The device also includes separate distance measuring lasers and a handheld display used to measure distances from the center of the device.
Claims18
A laser leveling device that is configured to be removably attached to a work surface, the laser leveling device comprising:
- a laser assembly;
- a first leveling laser mounted to said laser assembly, said first leveling laser being configured to project a visible laser line onto the work surface when said first leveling laser is activated;
- a first distance measuring laser coupled to said laser assembly;
- a second leveling laser, said second leveling laser being arranged orthogonally to said first leveling laser;
- and
- a second distance measuring laser,
- wherein said first and second distance measuring lasers are oriented on respective first and second auxiliary axes, and
- wherein the first and second leveling lasers are oriented along respective first and second primary axes, said first and second auxiliary axes being parallel with respective first and second primary axes.

A positioning device comprising:
- a base that is configured to be removably attached to a work surface relative to a reference point;
- a first distance measuring laser mounted on the base;
- and
- a handheld device that wirelessly communicates with the first distance measuring laser, said handheld device being configured to interrupt a laser beam emitted from the first distance measuring laser.
1 more element
A method for locating layout points on a work surface, the method comprising:
- removably attaching a base on the work surface relative to a first layout point;
- activating a first distance measuring laser mounted to the base, thereby causing the first distance measuring laser to emit a first laser beam;
- utilizing a handheld device to interrupt the first laser beam;
- positioning the handheld device relative to the first layout point;
- and
- positioning a second layout point relative to the handheld device,
- wherein the handheld wirelessly communicates with the first distance measuring laser.
