    摘要: A hanger for hanging an object on a vertical surface includes a plate with a front face and a back face. The back face is to abut a vertical surface onto which the object is to be hung. The hanger includes a first hook and a second hook protruding outward from the front face and an integrated bubble level fixably coupled to the front face and calibrated to indicate a horizontal orientation of the first hook relative to the second hook. A plurality of wall contacts protrudes outward from the front face. Each wall contact includes an opening through which an attachment mechanism traverses to attach the plate to the vertical surface. The hanger does not require the object to have a specifically shaped counterpart in order to interface with the hanger. The hanger removes the need for elaborate and/or time-consuming measuring, thus saving the user time and frustration.

    摘要: An adjustable spirit level device is disclosed. The level is adjustable in length to help leveling in different spaces and includes a main body having opposite ends, each end has a slidably attached retractable portion that can be extended independently in opposite directions to adjust the length of the level. Each retractable portion includes a pair of sliding rods, each rod passes through the main body and the other retractable portion, wherein when a retractable portion is extended, the corresponding sliding rods slide through the main body and the other retractable portion. The level contains bubble levels in different axes for precise leveling.

    摘要: A multiple plane level assembly for precisely locating fence pickets on a fence includes a level that has a first member which is perpendicularly oriented with a second member. A plurality of bubble levels is each integrated into a respective one of the first member and the second member. Each of the bubble levels is respectively oriented along a horizontal axis, a vertical axis and a diagonal axis. In this way bubble levels can indicate an orientation of the first member and the second member with respect to a vertical axis, a horizontal axis and a diagonal axis to facilitate the fence pickets to be precisely oriented.

    摘要: A level device may include a housing, a vial, a retention well and a multidirectional vial protection assembly. The housing may have a top face, a bottom face, a front face, a rear face, a first end and a second end. The vial may include a generally cylindrical tube with a bulge formed at a middle portion thereof. The vial may contain a liquid therein and an air bubble formed in the liquid such that the air bubble sits in the bulge when the vial is oriented such that one of the bottom face, front face, rear face, first end or second end is level or plumb. The retention well may be formed in the top face and extend through portions of the front and the rear faces toward the bottom face. The vial may be retained at opposing axial ends thereof in the retention well and may include an axis that extends substantially perpendicular to respective planes of the first end and the second end. The multidirectional vial protection assembly may be configured to extend over the top face proximate to the opposing axial ends of the vial to protect the vial in at least three directions.

    摘要: Provided are various mounts, firearms, firearm components, and associated elements and methods. A mount for an at least partially curved body surface may include at least one body defining a clamping portion and a component portion connected to the clamping portion, and a level vial engaged with the component portion of the at least one body. The clamping portion may be configured to engage and secure the mount to the at least partially curved body surface, and the clamping portion may define at least two tangent contact surfaces configured to engage the at least partially curved body surface to secure the mount to the at least partially curved body surface.

    摘要: A pipe flange is leveled for welding by using stainless steel using ball bearings attached to a U-shaped spring-loaded wire so a fitter is able to level a flange for welding while the wire supports a level. The ball bearings are part of a first leveling unit and a second leveling unit which comprise a flange leveling system. The spring acts to bias a first leg and a second leg of the leveling units such that the distal ends of both legs are biased toward each other. The ball bearings are axially co-linear with each other and are sized to be seated in bolt holes defined in the first and second sides of the pipe flange. A related process is also disclosed wherein the flange is adjusted until the associated flange holes on the first and second sides of the pipe flange are level with each other.

    摘要: An expandable level that is configured to extend from a first length to a second length in order to identify a vertical or horizontal plane across a greater distance. The level of the present invention includes a body wherein the body has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and second portion are axially aligned and secured together in the first position of the level with a fastener. The first portion and second portion of the body have telescoping support members operably coupled therebetween. The telescoping support members include a plurality of segments that facilitate the expansion of the length of the level wherein the first portion and second portion are moved away from each other. Sight windows and level bubbles are in both the first portion and second portion.
