Abstract

The two indicators showing respectively exact vertical and horizontal positioning of the rod are illuminated by lamps built into it and supplied with current from an in-built dry battery via several switches distributed along the rod and wired in parallel. The illumination may be switched-on automatically by a particular movement (e.g. setting upright) or shaking of the rod, and switched-off automatically after a selectable time lapse. The battery may be rechargeable from inbuilt solar cells. USE/ADVANTAGE - Esp. in explosive atmos.; for use by builders or carpenters . Spirit-level can be welded and lighting switches operated with same hand.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wasserwaage für handwerkliche Berufe wie Maurer, Tischler, Klempner, Fliesenleger usw.The invention relates to a spirit level for skilled trades such as bricklayers, Carpenters, plumbers, tilers, etc.

Derartige Wasserwaagen bestehen heute aus einem meist rechteckförmigen Stab von einer Länge zwischen 200 und 2000 mm. In ihm sind zwei um 90° versetzte Glasröhrchen angebracht, die z. T. mit einer Flüssigkeit gefüllt sind. Die verbleibende Luftblase bewegt sich darin je nach Positionierung der Wasserwaage hin und her und befindet sich mittig zwischen zwei am Glas angebrachten Markierungsstrichen, sobald die Wasserwaage eine exakt waagerechte bzw. senkrechte Position einnimmt.Such spirit levels today consist of a mostly rectangular rod a length between 200 and 2000 mm. In it are two offset by 90 ° Glass tubes attached, the z. T. are filled with a liquid. The remaining one Air bubble moves back and forth depending on the position of the spirit level is in the middle between two marking lines on the glass as soon as the spirit level assumes an exactly horizontal or vertical position.

Da oben erwähnte Handwerker häufig in noch nicht ausreichend beleuchteten Rohbauten arbeiten, ist das Erkennen derartiger Anzeigen oft erschwert. Viele Handwerker greifen dann zum Feuerzeug, um das Glasröhrchen kurzzeitig zu beleuchten. Diese Arbeitsweise hat jedoch folgende Schwierigkeiten:Craftsmen mentioned above are often not yet adequately lit. Since the shell works, it is often difficult to recognize such displays. Lots Craftsmen then grab the lighter to briefly access the glass tube illuminate. However, this way of working has the following difficulties:

  • 1. Ein Feuerzeug (oder auch Taschenlampe) muß jederzeit griffbereit zur Verfügung stehen.1. A lighter (or flashlight) must be at hand at all times To be available.
  • 2. Zum Benutzen derartiger Beleuchtungsgegenstände sind zusätzliche, zeitraubende Handgriffe erforderlich wie Hernehmen, Einschalten, Wiederablegen.2. To use such lighting items, additional, time-consuming operations such as lifting, switching on, Put it down.
  • 3. Da der Handwerker mit der einen Hand die Wasserwaage hält und mit der anderen Hand die Beleuchtung betätigt, bleibt keine Hand mehr frei, um evtl. den zu messenden Gegenstand zu korrigieren.3. Since the craftsman holds the spirit level with one hand and with the the other hand actuates the lighting, no hand remains free to possibly correct the object to be measured.

Die Beseitigung dieser Schwierigkeiten wird nun erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die erforderliche Beleuchtung in die Wasserwaage eingebaut wird. Mit Schaltern wie in Anspruch 2 und 3 beschrieben, ist es durchaus möglich, mit nur einer Hand die Wasserwaage zu halten und die Beleuchtung einzuschalten, ohne daß hierzu eine zusätzliche Zeit benötigt wird. Sind die Schalter zudem noch explosionsgeschützt ausgeführt, so läßt sich eine derartige Wasserwaage gefahrlos auch in explosionsgefährdeten Räumen benutzen.According to the invention, these difficulties are now eliminated by that the necessary lighting is installed in the spirit level. With switches as described in claims 2 and 3, it is quite possible with only one hand Hold spirit level and turn on the lights without doing this additional time is needed. Are the switches also explosion-proof executed, such a spirit level can be safely in Use explosive rooms.
