A plurality of blocks are removably held between a pair of elongated straight frame members, the majority of the blocks carrying a spirit vial therein. The frame members are held together by either a plurality of springs connected there between or by interconnection with the blocks. The arrangement of the blocks and the number thereof may be easily changed and selected at will. A pair of corner blocks may also be carried by said frame members adjacent the ends thereof.

A level having a body with an upper surface, the upper surface having a U-shaped passage provided therein having a curved end and legs defining parallel axes, the body also having a base for supporting the body at an angle of inclination along the axes of the legs in the direction of the curved end and relative to the base; a transparent plate mounted on the upper surface in sealing relation to the passage; and fluid disposed in the passage so as to define a bubble extending through the curved e...

A level comprises a frame including a working surface, a level vial containing bubble indicating means and having bubble registry means adapted to register a level position when the longitudinal axis of the vial is positioned in a horizontal plane, and selectively adjustable mounting means for adjustably mounting the level vial to the frame for variable, selective angular alignment of the longitudinal axis thereof with respect to the plane of the working surface whereby the preselected orientati...

A level constructed of clear acrylic plastic including a piece of colored acrylic plastic which serves as a light collector and a continuous passageway in the clear acrylic which reflects the light collected by the piece of colored plastic. By partially filling the passageway with liquid, a line of reflected light appears on the wall of the passageway above the interface between the liquid surface in the passageway and the unfilled portion of the passageway, whereby the level is easier to read t...

This invention relates to a level which detects a level line or horizontal surface. The mixed liquid, composed of a main agent, 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and an additive agent, comprising one or more of a soluble agent selected from the group of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, acetone, hexane, heptane, isoamyl alcohol, allyl chloride, isopropyl chloride, propyl chloride, diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, pentane, methyl hexane and silicon oil, is contained and sealed, having a ratio of abou...

A hand tool for leveling operations includes level and plumb indicators in an elongated, linear support member, or body. Disposed on opposed ends of the support member are first and second telescoping extension members. By positioning the distal end of one extension member in a recessed point or line on a wall, commonly known as a "quirk", and using the level indicator, a point or a line on another adjacent wall at the same elevation, or height, may be precisely located. The opposed extensions m...

A level comprises a frame defining first and second parallel channels and first and second rails fitted slidingly in the first and second channels respectively. The level is adjustable in length by sliding the rails in the respective channels of the frame.

A lighted level including a frame having parallel working surfaces and an inner connecting web having an aperture with a pair of notches for supporting a liquid-containing vial. The level includes a light emitting diode for illuminating the vial. The level is constructed for automatic drop-in assembly of each of the component parts, including a printed circuit board containing the lighting circuitry, without requiring wires, screws, pins, pegs or bolts.

A level comprises an extruded thin wall frame structure having an opening of I-shaped configuration extending from end to end thereof. The thin wall frame structure includes a pair of elongated operative walls each having a pair of transversely spaced inwardly turned flanges defining the width thereof and an exterior operative surface extending between the flanges thereof. The operative surfaces are planar and parallel. A pair of angular walls extend from each pair of spaced flanges in convergin...

A level comprises a frame defining first and second parallel channels and first and second rails fitted slidingly in the first and second channels respectively. The level is adjustable in length by sliding the rails in the respective channels of the frame.
