Abstract
Various embodiments of a laser level and laser level accessories are provided. In one embodiment a laser level is provided that emits a laser line and a laser point that intersects the laser. The laser line and laser point are rotated such that they continue to intersect each other as the laser line and laser point are rotated.
Claims20
A method of operating a laser beam generating device comprising:
- emitting a plane of light from a first laser light generator to form a line of light on a surface, the first laser light generator coupled to a base of the laser beam generating device;
- emitting a beam of light from a second laser light generator to form a point of light on the surface, the second laser light generator coupled to the base, the point of light intersecting the line of light;
- receiving a first instruction to rotate the plane of light and the beam of light;
- and
- in response to receiving the first instruction:
- rotating the plane of light with respect to the base about an axis;
- and
- rotating the beam of light with respect to the base about the axis such that the point of light continuously intersects the line of light while the plane of light and the beam of light are being rotated.

A laser beam generating device comprising:
- a base;
- a housing coupled to the base;
- a first laser light generator disposed within the housing operable to emit a plane of light to form a line of light on a surface;
- a second laser light generator disposed within the housing operable to emit a beam of light to form a point of light on the surface, the beam of light intersecting the plane of light;
- and
- an actuator system configured to rotate the plane of light with respect to the base about an axis that intersects the housing, and configured to move where the point of light intersects the line of light.
