System and Method for Mounting Carpenter Levels

A method of operating a system for obtaining level-indications, comprising:

• attaching a slider to an angle bracket;
• positioning the angle bracket and the attached slider over a desired clamping surface;
• moving the slider toward the clamping surface until the slider compresses a slider spring;
• sliding a thick disk that is part of a doughnut into a horseshoe cutout within the angle bracket;
• positioning a locking bump located in the center of the thick disk to be located into a concave surface of the angle bracket;
• holding the doughnut and the angle bracket to be snug, but allowing the doughnut to swivel to accept a level;
• sliding the level into an opening within the doughnut;
• positioning a bottom of the level next to either a base side or an attached disk side of the doughnut, the combination of doughnut and the angle bracket now being locatable anywhere on the level;
• adjusting a knurled knob downwards until a thrust washer is snug against a top surface of the level, such that a first end of the level is securely and non-movably attached to a first portion of the clamping surface;
• performing the above steps for a second end of the level with a second angle bracket attached to a second doughnut, such that both ends of the level are securely and non-movably attached to the first and second portions of the clamping surface;
• holding the level and the first doughnut with one hand, the other side of the level with the second doughnut with the other hand, and then positioning the first and second angle brackets and sliders over the two portions of the clamping surface;
• and then,
• pushing the first and second angle brackets onto the two portions of the clamping surface until the slider indicates tactile feedback that the slider cannot be moved further.
