Measuring device
View Patent ↗A measuring device includes a housing with a first, upper section coupleable to a second, lower section. An upper surface of the first section may include a first bubble level and a second bubble level perpendicular to the first bubble level. Each side of the housing may include a laser. The measuring device includes adjustable fasteners that aid in leveling the device on any surface. A bottom side of the second section may include a first member and a second member that are removably attachable to each other, and once separated, allow access to an internal compartment that includes a computing and power system. The measuring device may connect to a smart device and a mobile application to provide to a user numerous types of measurements.
1 . A measuring device comprising:
a housing comprising a first member and a second member that are removably attachable to each other, wherein the first member and the second member, when separate, allow access to an internal compartment, wherein the housing comprises a first, upper section that is removably attachable to a second, lower section;
a first wing with a first aperture, the first wing extending out from and being a part of the first section; a second wing with a second aperture, the second wing extending out from and being a part of the first section; a third wing with a third aperture, the third wing extending out from and being a part of the first section; and a fourth wing with a fourth aperture, the fourth wing extending out from and being a part of the first section; the first and second wings being on a first side of the first section and the second and third wings being on a second side of the first section;
at least two primary wings with primary apertures, the at least two primary wings extending out from and being a part of the second section, the at least two primary wings being spaced apart from each other; at least two secondary wings with secondary apertures, the at least two secondary wings extending out from and being a part of the second section, the at least two secondary wings being spaced apart from each other; at least two tertiary wings with tertiary apertures, the at least two tertiary wings extending out from and being a part of the second section, the at least two tertiary wings being spaced apart from each other; and at least two quaternary wings with quaternary apertures, the at least two quaternary wings extending out from and being a part of the second section, the at least two quaternary wings being spaced apart from each other;
wherein the first wing and the at least two primary wings align with each other when the first section is coupled to the second section and receive a first adjustable fastener;
wherein the second wing and the at least two secondary wings align with each other when the first section is coupled to the second section and receive a second adjustable fastener;
wherein the third wing and the at least two tertiary wings align with each other when the first section is coupled to the second section and receive a third adjustable fastener;
wherein the fourth wing and the at least two quaternary wings align with each other when the first section is coupled to the second section and receive a fourth adjustable fastener; and
a computing system and a power system positioned within the internal compartment.
2 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein each of the adjustable fasteners include a knob that when turned lowers or raises a corner of the housing.
3 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second members are slidably coupled to each other via one or more slots and protrusions.
4 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises one or more bubble levels.
5 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein housing comprises one or more lasers.
6 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the housing comprises a window.
7 . The measuring device of claim 6 , wherein the window receives a time-of-flight sensor.
8 . The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the computing system comprises a microcontroller.
9 . The measuring device of claim 8 , wherein the microcontroller regulates a thermistor and a time-of-flight sensor.
