Laser leveling device having a suction mounting arrangement

A laser leveling device having a vacuum mounting arrangement configured to releasably secure the laser leveling device to an attachment surface, the laser level comprising:

• a. a housing having a cavity formed in a lower portion of the housing;
• b. a mounting seal extending from the lower portion of the housing about the cavity cooperating with an attachment surface to defining a suction mounting area therebetween;
• c. a power source disposed within the housing;
• d. a vacuum generating mechanism disposed within the housing for generating a vacuum in the suction mounting area, the vacuum mounting arrangement including a power source, a motor connected to the power source, a pump operatively driven by the motor configured to remove air from the suction mounting area through an aperture in the cavity to secure the housing to the attachment surface and a sensor disposed proximate the cavity to monitor the pressure in the suction area and activate the pump if the sensor detects a loss of pressure in the suction mounting area;
• and
• e. a laser light source disposed within the housing operatively connected to the power source, the laser light source including at least one diode projecting an alignment beam through an opening in the housing to denote a reference plane along the attachment surface.

A laser leveling device having a suction mounting arrangement configured to releasably secure the laser leveling device to an attachment surface, the laser level comprising:

• a. a housing having a lower portion including a cavity formed in a bottom surface and an upper portion rotatably mounted to the lower portion;
• b. a mounting seal extending from the lower portion of the housing about the cavity cooperating with an attachment surface to defining a suction mounting area therebetween;
• c. a power source disposed within the lower portion of the housing;
• d. a suction mounting arrangement including a manually operable pump cooperating with the mounting seal and configured to remove air from the suction mounting area through an aperture in the housing to secure the housing to the attachment surface;
• and
• e. a laser light source disposed within the upper portion of the housing operatively connected to the power source, the laser light source including a diode projecting an alignment beam through an opening in the housing to denote a reference plane along the attachment surface.
