Abstract
A digital spirit level has an at least substantially cuboid or prismatic housing, wherein at least one surface of the housing is designed as a supporting surface for placing the digital spirit level on a workpiece which is to be oriented with respect to the earth's gravitational field. A digital display unit, which is controlled by an electronic control device and is designed to display to a user the orientation of the housing with respect to the earth's gravitational field in an intuitively perceivable manner, is arranged at least in the region of a further surface of the housing.
Claims18
A digital spirit level comprising:
- an at least substantially cuboid or prismatic housing having at least one surface designed as a supporting surface configured for placing the digital spirit level on a workpiece which is to be oriented with respect to the earth's gravitational field;
- and
- a digital display unit controlled by an electronic control device and arranged at least in a region of a further surface of the housing, the display unit being configured to display to a user an orientation of the housing with respect to the earth's gravitational field in an intuitively perceivable manner,
- wherein:
- the digital display unit comprises at least two digital displays configured to display at least one angular deviation between a longitudinal direction of the housing and a horizontal or a vertical, or between a longitudinal direction of the housing and a target angle specified by a user,
- the horizontal is perpendicular and the vertical is parallel to the earth's gravitational field,
- the at least two digital displays are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the housing, and
- the at least two digital displays are configured to display the at least one angular deviation in opposite directions in the intuitively perceivable manner.
