Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A laser level system, comprising:

a laser level, wherein the laser level is configured to project at least one laser line;

a bracket comprising a base and a mounting portion transverse to the base, the laser level mounted on the base; and

a power source disposed within an interior of the mounting portion of the bracket so as to be integrally formed with the bracket;

wherein the power source is configured to power the laser level; and

wherein the laser level is rotatable relative to the bracket.

2 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the laser level is configured to project a plurality of laser lines.

3 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the power source comprises a battery assembly.

4 . The laser level system of claim 3 , wherein the battery assembly comprises a battery assembly housing; and

wherein the battery assembly comprises a plurality of pouch battery cells housed in the battery assembly housing.

5 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the laser level further comprises a power port; and

wherein the power source is configured to be charged through the power port.

6 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the bracket further comprises a power port; and

wherein the power source is configured to be charged through the power port.

7 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the laser level system further comprises a power port; and

wherein the power source is configured to be charged through the power port.

8 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a first housing part and a second housing part, the power source positioned between the first housing part and the second housing part in an interior of the mounting portion of the bracket.

9 . The laser level system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion is configured to be mounted to an object.

10 . The laser level system of claim 9 , wherein the mounting portion comprises at least one magnet.

11 . The laser level system of claim 10 , wherein the laser level is supported on the base.

12 . A laser level system, comprising:

a laser level, wherein the laser level is configured to project at least one laser line;

a bracket comprising a mounting portion and a base on which the laser level is mounted; and

a battery power source enclosed in a cavity in the mounting portion of the bracket;

wherein the battery power source is configured to power the laser level; and

wherein at least one of the laser level and the bracket comprises a power port through which the battery power source can be charged.

13 . The laser level system of claim 12 , wherein the battery power source comprises a plurality of battery cells.

14 . The laser level system of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of battery cells comprises a plurality of pouch cells.

15 . The laser level system of claim 12 , wherein the battery power source comprises a battery assembly.

16 . The laser level system of claim 12 , wherein the battery assembly comprises a battery assembly housing and a plurality of battery cells housed in the battery assembly housing.

17 . The laser level system of claim 12 ,

wherein the mounting portion is transverse to the base; and

wherein the laser level is supported on the base.

18 . A laser level system, comprising:

a laser level, wherein the laser level is configured to project a first laser line and a second laser line perpendicular to the first laser line;

a bracket comprising a base and a mounting portion transverse to the base, wherein the mounting portion is configured to attach the bracket to a structure; and

a battery power source enclosed in a cavity in a housing portion of the mounting portion;

wherein the battery power source is configured to power the laser level.

19 . The laser level system of claim 18 , wherein the battery power source comprises a battery assembly; and

wherein the battery assembly comprises a battery assembly housing and a plurality of cells disposed in the battery assembly housing.

20 . The laser level system of claim 19 , further comprising a power port configured to receive power for charging of the battery power source.
