Definitions
- the invention relates to a spirit level for the horizontal and vertical determination of inclinations and angles with a base body to which at least one spirit level and / or another measuring device is assigned.
- Spirit levels of this type are known and customary on the market in various forms and designs. They mostly serve to determine a horizontal or a vertical position, whereby inclinations can only be read imprecisely or displayed with a conventional spirit level.
- the spirit level when installing windows or doors, the spirit level must be held against the pane or the door frame, in which case it is not possible to take up or hold the spirit level, in particular the rectangular profile between thumb and fingers. Rather, the spirit level is placed flat on the window or on the window frame and pressed on, so that it often slips and a measuring position is therefore not very precise. In particular, such spirit levels are not suitable for heavy loads, but require a very large wall thickness, which results in a high weight, which is undesirable. In addition, with a conventional spirit level, however, only one axis can be aligned, whereby, for example, when placing a post, it is necessary to reposition the spirit level by 90 ° in order to align it vertically in an X and Y direction.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a spirit level of the type mentioned, which eliminates the disadvantages mentioned and with which an ergonomically functioning, optimized and functionally expanded spirit level is created in a simple and inexpensive manner.
- the functionality should be significantly improved while reducing the manufacturing costs.
- a spirit level is created, which is essentially formed from a base body, which has a support profile and a retaining web, wherein the retaining webs are guided from end regions to the support profile at a slight angle.
- the angles are preferably either 10 ° or 15 °.
- a measuring device is preferably provided in the center between the holding web and the support profile, openings being formed in each case between the end regions and the measuring device or support profile and the holding web. Through this opening, the holding bridge can be gripped with the fingers of a human hand, so that the spirit level is easy to handle in any desired position, whether horizontal or vertical.
- the base body of the spirit level is preferably produced from a single component, the base body having a low weight. It is preferably made of plastic and is therefore insensitive to water and temperature.
- This ergonomic shape of the holding bars enables ergonomic work with the spirit level, whereby the separately and independently protected arrangement of the spirit levels also enables alignment or measurement in two axes in any position without the need to reposition the spirit level. is possible.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that peel profiles of various types and lengths and different materials can be attached to the support profile and can be exchanged, here guideline pads, magnetic pads, steel pads, plastic pads, brass pads, wooden pads etc. with a spirit level, in particular with a peeling profile the support profile can be detachably and interchangeably connected again.
- impact surfaces are provided, which are formed, for example, from foam rubber or elastically deformable material, preferably rubber, so that, for example, with a human fist or with a hammer if, for example, small bumps when placing bricks or tiles, can be corrected or compensated for by tapping on one or the other end area of the spirit level.
- the spirit level or the base body or the vials or the measuring devices are not damaged or impaired.
- the spirit level according to the invention ensures easy, comfortable and slip-free application, especially also in the vertical, such as during assembly work, in which the spirit level is gripped on the holding bridge with the human hand and the particularly open shape of the dragonflies inserted into the openings is apparent reading is possible in all directions, even without bending down. Even when placing the spirit level above eye level, this open shape or through the openings also makes reading very easy, without it being necessary to climb a ladder to determine or tilt or horizontally or vertically position any object to align or read.
- the open shape of the spirit level ensures a considerable weight reduction compared to conventional spirit levels, which means a considerable saving of energy when working with the spirit level.
- the spirit level has a shoulder that protrudes by a few millimeters on one side, with the aid of which it is possible to attach the spirit level to outer edges.
- This is advantageous, for example, when placing posts, since the spirit level only has to be applied vertically to one outer edge once and without repositioning the spirit level, the two vials arranged perpendicular to each other in the opening determine two axes and thus one Alignment is possible. This should also be within the scope of the present invention.
- the two vials which can be aligned in a T or L shape, ensure measurement in an X and Y axis.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that all the outer edges of the spirit level are preferably rounded off with radii and, for example, in the case of a spirit level falling onto a sensitive surface, such as a tile or a painted wood or metal surface, assuming little damage than with all-metal spirit levels is, if damage occurs, especially due to the low weight of the spirit level.
- the holding web and the support profile are set at angles of 10 ° or 15 ° to one another.
- a vial is arranged within an opening at an angle of preferably 45 ° to the horizontal or to the support surface, so that these angles, which are used frequently, can be easily adjusted. This way Different angles, depending on the system of the support profile or retaining web on an object, for example 15 °, 30 °, 45 ° and 90 °, set or read immediately. This is also an essential advantage in the present invention.
