Abstract
A device for leveling and squaring which includes a level body having a spirit vial or electronic inclinometer, wherein a battery powered laser module assembly is rotatably mounted in one end of the level body for emitting a visible laser beam therefrom. The level body contains a transparent window which allows the laser beam to exit therefrom. Further, the level body has a groove parallel the longitudinal axis thereof to provide a horizontal (0.degree.) reference line. Wherefore, the laser beam establishes a precise line, which is variably adjustable from horizontal (0.degree.) to 90.degree. thereto, for alignment and squaring uses. Magnetic strips are used for attaching the level body to ferromagnetic materials.
Claims18
A device for leveling and squaring, comprising:
- a level body;
- a means for leveling coupled with said level body;
- a means contained within said level body for emitting a visible laser beam therefrom;
- a means for variably directing the laser beam, wherein the laser beam is variably redirected through a range of about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. from a longitudinal axis of said level body;
- a window coupled with said level body, said window having means for allowing the laser beam to exit said level body throughout said range of about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. from the longitudinal axis of said level body;
- and
- wherein said means for allowing the laser beam to exit said level body includes said window being curvedly extended through said range of about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. from the longitudinal axis of said level body.
A device for leveling and squaring, comprising:
- a level body;
- a means for leveling coupled with said level body;
- a means contained within said level body for emitting a visible laser beam therefrom;
- a housing rotatably positioned within said level body, said means for emitting a laser beam is mounted in said housing;
- wherein said housing variably redirects said means for emitting a laser beam;
- wherein said housing has an opening that allows said housing to rotate about a wire connecting said means for emitting a laser beam to a power source;
- and
- a means for allowing the variably redirected laser beam to exit said level body.
A device for leveling and squaring, comprising:
- a level body;
- a means for leveling coupled with said level body;
- a laser module assembly contained within said level body for emitting a visible laser beam therefrom;
- a housing rotatably positioned within said level body, said laser module assembly is mounted in said housing;
- wherein said housing variably redirects the laser beam through a range of about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. from a longitudinal axis of said level body;
- a window having means for allowing the laser beam to exit said level body throughout said range of about 0.degree. to about 90.degree. from the longitudinal axis of said level body;
- and
- wherein said means for allowing the laser beam to exit said level body includes said window being curvedly extended from a portion of said level body near the longitudinal axis to a portion of said level body about 90.degree. from the longitudinal axis.
