Clamp for laser level detector
A clamp for laser level detectors release mechanism is provided. The clamp includes a body, a shaft slidably coupled to the body, a fixed jaw, and a moveable jaw coupled to the shaft. The clamp permits adjusting the position and orientation of the laser level detector while the clamp remains coupled to a work piece.
1 . A laser level system comprising:
a laser level detector; and
a clamp comprising:
a body;
a plurality of arms extending from the body, the plurality of arms detachably and rigidly couple the body to a structure; and
a mounting element rotatably coupled to the body, the mounting element detachably coupled to the laser level detector, the mounting element rotating around a first axis with respect to the body such that the laser level detector and the mounting element rotate together at least 90 degrees around the first axis with respect to the body while the laser level detector is coupled to the mounting element, the mounting element rotating around a second axis with respect to the body such that the laser level detector and the mounting element rotate around the second axis with respect to the body while the laser level detector is coupled to the mounting element, wherein the second axis is skew to the first axis such that the second axis and first axis are not parallel to each other and do not intersect each other;
the plurality of arms comprising a first arm rigidly coupled to the body and a second arm slidably coupled to the body, the second arm sliding along a third axis with respect to the body, wherein the third axis is perpendicular to each of the first axis and the second axis.
2 . The laser level system of claim 1 , comprising an interface element coupled to the body, the interface element configured to slide the second arm with respect to the body.
3 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the laser level detector and the mounting element rotate together at least 90 degrees around the second axis with respect to the body while the laser level detector is coupled to the mounting element.
4 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the second axis is perpendicular to a plane defined by the first axis and the third axis.
5 . The laser level system of claim 4 , wherein the third axis is perpendicular to the second axis.
