In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 A and the 4B, guidance set 400 is mirror assemblies again, and it comprises base or the platform 415 with first mirror 420 and second mirror 425.The location of mirror 420,425 be not particularly limited in described herein those, as long as mirror 420,425 again the guide beam LB desired angle path (for example, being 90 ° in the example shown) of light beam (for example, change) get final product.For example, first mirror 420 can from second mirror 425 about 45 ° spaced apart, thereby between first mirror 420 and second mirror 425, produce breach 427.In other words, each mirror 420,425 can intersect the breach 427 between mirror for about 22.5 ° from roughly vertical line.This locatees mirror 420,425 so that (for example, along vertical in fact path) light beam LB can or reflect and leaves mirror to 420,425, or passes through breach 427 (following discussion in further detail) from light source 210 propagation.One or two mirrors 420,425 can be further with truing tool 430 (for example, spring bias voltage screw) links to each other, its configuration regulate the position of mirror 420,425 on platform 415 with angle ground, and/or mirror 420,425 is about the position of another mirror 420,425.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 A and the 4B, second mirror 425 is fixed to platform 415, and first mirror 420 is adjustable.Guidance set 400 can be connected to housing fore-end 150 movably again.Particularly, guidance set 400 can be installed in rotation on the post P that extends from the inner surface of housing fore-end 150 again.Guidance set 400 can rotate with the guidance set again of orientation optionally around post P again, thereby directed mirror is about the relation of light source 210/ light beam LB.Second driver 130 can be utilized to drive the rotation of guidance set 400 around post P again, thereby optionally changes its propagation path during by housing 100 at the light beam LB that produces when light source 210.Particularly, second driver 130 can comprise passage 435, its fixing post 440 that extends from the platform 415 of guidance set 400 again.Second driver 130 configurable laterally to slide through housing 100 (in Fig. 4 B, representing) mutually with arrow A so that when it slides its rotatable platform 415, thereby relocate mirror 420,425.Can provide brake to come to show the rotation halt of expectation for platform 415.Explain that with reference to Fig. 5 A, 5B and 5C it illustrates the front end internal view of the device 10 of Figure 1A according to the operation of the guidance set again 400 of light line generating 10 of the present utility model.As explained above, light source 210 can be installed on the goods of furniture for display rather than for use 205 so that the light beam LB that light source 210 produces towards guidance set 400 (for example, along roughly vertical propagation path) guiding again.With reference to 5A, guidance set 400 is oriented in primary importance again, and wherein light beam LB can lead approximately-90 ° again so that it is directed to out the first window 110A.Particularly, first mirror 420 is positioned in the propagation path of vertical light beam LB; As a result, beam reflection is left first mirror 420, leaves second mirror 425 then.The light beam LB that it is vertical in fact that this leads again penetrates housing 100 to have the propagation path of level in fact thereby pass through the first window 110A.
As mentioned above, engage second driver 130 and relocate mirror assembly 400 about light source 210.With reference to Fig. 5 B, apply power (F represents with arrow) make second driver 130 slide into the right and rotate again guidance set 400 (R represents with arrow), thereby it is moved to the second place from primary importance.The angle of rotating can include, but not limited to about 45 °.In this second place, first mirror 420 or second mirror 425 all delocalization in the propagation path of light beam LB.As a result, can allow light beam LB to keep its roughly vertical propagation path, thereby pass through again guidance set 400 (by the gap 427 between the mirror 420,425) and arrive the outside by the second window 110B.With reference to Fig. 5 C, continue to apply power F to second driver 130 make again guidance sets 400 in housing 100, be rotated further (R represents with arrow) (for example, being rotated further again about 45 ° of guidance set) come orientation again guidance set 400 in the 3rd position.In the 3rd position, light beam LB can lead again about 90 ° so that it is directed to out the 3rd window 110C.Particularly, second mirror 425 now is positioned in the propagation path of vertical light beam LB; As a result, beam reflection is left second mirror 425, leaves first mirror 420 then.This light beam LB that leads again in fact vertically to be having the propagation path of level in fact, thereby penetrates housing 100 from the 3rd window 110C.For will be again guidance set 400 turn back to first or the second place, can apply opposite force (not shown) second driver 130 that slides, thereby rotate in an opposite direction guidance set again.
By this way, the optionally directed guidance set 400 again of user is with the propagation path of the light beam LB of control/guiding light source 210 generations optionally.This configuration allows single light source 210 to produce light on working surface in a plurality of different directions (for example, level left side, vertical, horizontal right side).Be created in each light on the working surface because pendulum-type assembly 200 can be from level.Perhaps, light can be fixed about housing, makes that the user can be by relocating housing 100 manual adjustments light.This configuration makes that the user can be at the direction guiding light of expectation, and it depends on the aligning needs of working surface.Survey tool 405 (seeing Fig. 4 A and 4B) is configurable with the rotation of response housing 100 on working surface (for example, roughly vertical working surface for example wall).Particularly, survey tool 405 is configurable has rotated and/or from the angle of its normal (for example, upright/plummet) position deviation with measuring light beam generating apparatus 10.For example, survey tool 405 can comprise protractor and, especially, the gravimetric response protractor.The gravimetric response protractor can be to be suitable for around the freely pivotally supported 360 ° of protractors of central shaft 450.Protractor can comprise pouring weight zone 410, and it comprises one or more pouring weights of locating near the normal position of protractor (like this, light source 10).When light line generating 10 was rotated, pouring weight zone 410 was because gravity is kept the constant protractor position about plumb line (perhaps plummet direction).For example, when light line generating 10 from normal upright/when vertical was rotated, pouring weight zone 410 returned to the method line position, thereby around axle 450 amount of spin hornworks.Mark on the protractor (for example, angular surveying mark) can be observed by the observation lattice on the front end shell part 140.By this way, light line generating 10 automatically the inclination angle of measurement mechanism 10 (tube shell 100 how far rotate) and, similarly, from the angle of projection datum line (light beam LB).
Again for example, when datum line (light beam LB) projected second (vertically) window 110B, the user can pin goods of furniture for display rather than for use 205 with stable projection datum line (light beam LB).Rotate light line generating 10 automatic energizing quantity hornworks 405, its permission user measures the angle between projecting beam LB and the vertical plumb line (perhaps horizontal line).This is measured the observation lattice 140 that pass through housing 100 then and shows.
