Abstract
A device for measuring the distance from a reference point to a laser light beam, the device having measurement intervals defined by indicia and being configured such that at least a section of the device is substantially opaque but able to transmit an amount of laser light such that the opaque section becomes illuminated at the location where the laser light is transmitted, whereby the distance between the reference point and the location of the section where the laser light is transmitted is visibly perceivable.
Claims28
A device for measuring the distance from a reference point to a laser light beam, the device having measurement intervals defined by indicia and being configured such that at least a section of the device is substantially opaque but able to transmit an amount of laser light such that the opaque section becomes illuminated at the location where the laser light is transmitted, whereby the distance between the reference point and the location of the section where the laser light is transmitted is visibly perceivable.
A system for checking alignment of a building component, wherein the system includes a laser light emitter and a device for measuring as defined in any one of the preceding claims, and wherein the device for measuring is used to measuring the distance from a reference point on the building component to a laser light beam emitted from the laser light beam emitter.
A method of measuring the distance from a reference point to a laser light beam, including the steps of:
- positioning a device relative to the reference point and the laser light beam, the device having measurement intervals defined by indicia and being configured to transmit an amount of laser light such that the device becomes illuminated at the location where the laser light is transmitted, whereby the distance between the reference point and the location of the section where the laser light is transmitted is visibly perceivable;
- and
- determining, with reference to the indicia, the distance between the reference point and the laser light beam.
