Abstract
A device and method for determining level planes using one or more lasers. The device may include a single base or a plurality of bases that allow lasers to be attached to project laser lines across a work surface. The device also may include notches to insert and connect a measuring device at a center of a base to facilitate accurate measurements and markings along the projected laser lines.
Claims18
A laser leveling device comprising:
- a plurality of bases;
- a means for removably attaching each of the plurality of bases to a surface;
- a means for centering the bases over a fixed point on said surface;
- a plurality of lasers;
- a means for removably and interchangeably connecting the plurality of lasers to each of the plurality of bases;
- a means for activating one or more of the plurality of lasers, causing laser lines to project across said surface and communicate with each of the plurality of bases attached to said surface;
- a means for leveling each of the plurality of bases on said surface;
- and
- a means for removably and interchangeably attaching a measuring device near the center of each of the plurality of bases.

A laser leveling device comprising:
- a plurality of bases;
- a means for removably attaching each of the plurality of bases to a surface;
- a bull's eye opening at the center of each of the bases for aligning said bases over a fixed point on said surface;
- a laser assembly including a plurality of lasers arranged orthogonally, a plurality of batteries for powering the lasers, an upper enclosure and a lower enclosure to house the lasers and the batteries, a power switch for activating each of the plurality of lasers, and a means for removably and interchangeably connecting the laser assembly to one of the plurality of bases;
- a level assembly consisting of a torpedo level with both horizontal and vertical leveling capability and a means for removably and interchangeably attaching the level assembly to one of the plurality of bases;
- a plurality of notches near the center of each of the plurality of bases for inserting and removably attaching a measuring device;
- and
- a standoff on the bottom side of each of the plurality of bases to assist in leveling said bases prior to the bases being removably attached to said surface, whereby the standoff recedes into the base when pressed against the surface.
