Claims24
A leveling system comprising:
- an anchor including a leveler receiver and a fastener receiver connected to and extending from the leveler receiver, the leveler receiver and the fastener receiver having different inner diameters;
- and
- a leveler threadably receivable by the leveler receiver, wherein the leveler defines an opening therethrough that is sized such that at least part of a fastener can pass through the opening, and wherein the leveler is lockable when the leveler is partially threaded into the leveler receiver to prevent the leveler from substantially rotating relative to the anchor.
A leveling system comprising:
- an anchor connector;
- a plurality of anchors connected to the anchor connector, each anchor including a leveler receiver and a fastener receiver connected to and extending from the leveler receiver, the leveler receiver and the fastener receiver having different inner diameters;
- and
- a plurality of levelers, each leveler threadably receivable by the leveler receiver of one of the plurality of anchors, wherein each leveler defines an opening therethrough that is sized such that at least part of a fastener can pass through said opening, and wherein each leveler is lockable when said leveler is partially threaded into the leveler receiver of said one of the plurality of anchors to prevent said leveler from substantially rotating relative to said one of the plurality of anchors.

A leveling system comprising:
- an anchor connector;
- a first anchor connected to the anchor connector, the first anchor including a first leveler receiver and a first fastener receiver connected to and extending from the first leveler receiver, the first leveler receiver and the first fastener receiver having different inner diameters;
- a second anchor connected to the anchor connector, the second anchor including a second leveler receiver and a second fastener receiver connected to and extending from the second leveler receiver, the second leveler receiver and the second fastener receiver having different inner diameters;
- a first leveler threadably receivable by the first leveler receiver, the first leveler defining a first opening therethrough that is sized such that at least part of a first fastener can pass through said first opening, wherein the first leveler is lockable when the first leveler is partially threaded into the first leveler receiver to prevent the first leveler from substantially rotating relative to the first anchor;
- and
- a second leveler threadably receivable by the second leveler receiver, the second leveler defining a second opening therethrough that is sized such that at least part of a second fastener can pass through said second opening, wherein the second leveler is lockable when the second leveler is partially threaded into the second leveler receiver to prevent the second leveler from substantially rotating relative to the second anchor.
