Hands-free level

摘要

Provided are examples of a hands-free level to quickly, accurately, and efficiency level and plumb a wide range of objects regardless of shape. The level includes a stationary component, an adjustable component, a level device attached to the stationary component/adjustable component, and a cord. The cord includes a J-shaped terminus that abuts the adjustable component. Advancing the cord urges the adjustable component towards the stationary component. Complementary locking teeth on the cord and stationary component lock the adjustable component in place and clamps the hands-free level to an object. This lets a user use two hands to hold and move the object while simultaneously checking the object for plumb and/or level.

主权项

1. A hands-free level, comprising;
a stationary component including a set of stationary locking teeth formed on a surface of the stationary component; an adjustable component; at least one level device attached to at least one of the stationary component and the adjustable component; an cord comprising an elongated body terminating in a J-shaped terminus, the cord further comprising a set of cord locking teeth formed along a partial length of the elongated body and having an arrangement complementary to the set of stationary locking teeth, such that the set of cord locking teeth and the set of stationary locking teeth engage in a releaseable interlock engagement; and wherein the J-shaped terminus of the cord abuts the adjustable component and urges the adjustable component towards the stationary component in response to advancing the cord along the surface of the stationary component.
