Abstract
A spotter bit and system for use in identifying a hole location in a construction substrate which includes an illuminating member equipped for illuminating a visible light color for a particular construction trade, the illuminating member which extends through the hole and is maintained in position to enable easy locating of the hole by virtue of the spotter bit. The spotter bit can also include a sound emitting device and blue tooth controlled by a micro processor to assist operating and in the locating of the spotter bit.
Claims23
A spotter bit for use with a hole of a predetermined diameter D extending through a construction substrate having a thickness T, which includes:
- a first end configured to be positionably disposed against the construction substrate and a second end extending from said first end and is elongated and has a diameter D′ less than the hole diameter D and a length L longer than the thickness T of the construction substrate and extending beyond a surface of the construction substrate when said second end extends through the hole and said first end disposed adjacent the construction substrate, and wherein said second end is configured to illuminate in a predetermined color within a visible spectrum of light.
A spotter bit for use with a hole of a predetermined diameter D extending through a construction substrate having a thickness T, which includes:
- a first end configured to be positionably disposed against the construction substrate and a second end extending from said first end and is elongated and has a diameter D′ less than the hole diameter D and a length L longer than the thickness T of the construction substrate and extending beyond a surface of the construction substrate when said second end extends through the hole and said first end disposed adjacent the construction substrate, and wherein said second end is configured to illuminate in a predetermined color within a visible spectrum of light, said first end is equipped with a housing made of one of metal and plastic having operably disposed therein a power source to deliver power to cause illumination of said second end, and a micro processor operably connected to said power source and a switch which when actuated, enables selective control of said illumination.
A spotter bit system for use in locating a plurality of holes in a construction substrate, which includes:
- a plurality of spotter bits, each spotter bit for use with a hole of a predetermined diameter D extending through a construction substrate having a thickness T and has a first end configured to be positionably disposed against the construction substrate and a second end extending from the first end and is elongated and has a diameter D′ less than the hole diameter D and a length L longer than the thickness T of the construction substrate and extending beyond a surface of the construction substrate when said second end extends through the hole and said first end abuts the construction substrate, and wherein said second end is configured to illuminate in a predetermined color within a visible spectrum of light corresponding to a predetermined construction carrier element.
