Level with adjustable fastener locators
View Patent ↗A level assembly includes a housing having a level mounted within. The housing includes a first arm and a second arm slidably attached to the housing. The first and second arms are both stored in storage positions. Fastener locators associated with each arm are both stored in storage positions. During use the fastener locators are pivoted to an extended position. If additional distance between the fastener locators is needed the first and second arms can also be extended by sliding them along another axis relative to the housing.
1. A level assembly comprising:
a housing which defines a first axis;
a level mounted within said housing;
a first arm moveable relative to said housing along said first axis; and
a first fastener locator movable relative to said housing with said first aim and also movable relative to said first arm, wherein said first fastener locator is moveable along a second axis parallel to said first axis.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said second axis is defined by said first arm.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein said first fastener locator pivots about said second axis.
4. The assembly claim 3 , wherein said first fastener locator pivots about said second axis between an extended and storage position.
5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein said storage position is parallel to said first arm and said extended position is perpendicular to said first arm.
6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein said first arm defines a recess to receive said fastener locator in said storage position.
7. A level assembly comprising:
a level mounted within a housing defining a first axis;
a first arm moveable relative to said housing along said first axis;
a first fastener locator movable relative to said housing with said first arm, and also moveable relative to said first arm along a second axis parallel to said first axis;
a second arm moveable relative to said housing along said first axis; and
a second fastener locator moveable relative to said housing with said second arm and also moveable relative to said second arm along said second axis.
8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said first arm and said second arm move independently from one another.
9. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said first fastener locator is slidably mounted to said first arm and said second fastener locator is slidably mounted to said second arm.
10. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein said first fastener locator and said second fastener locator pivot about said second axis.
