Abstract

Device for adjusting the horizontal level of frames and wall paintings. The invention relates to a device making it possible to assess and set a horizontal level for frames and wall paintings in a single operation without having to step back repeatedly. It consists of a casing having a luminous indicator which lights up automatically when the level is not horizontal. Inside the casing, a cylinder 11 secured by clips of the casing comprises electric conductors 14 on which moves a metal ball 12 which establishes contact between the two conductors except in its centre 21-22 which is an insulator and which acts as a switch and turns off the indicator. Venting orifices 4-16 allow free circulation of the air so that the ball 12 moves freely. The device according to the invention is intended in particular to adjust the horizontal level of frames and wall paintings.

Description

La pressente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet instantanément
1) de voir à l'oeil nu si un cadre ou un tableau mural nest pas de niveau
2) de le mettre à niveau immédiatement et avec précision sans avoir à reculer.
The present invention relates to a device which instantly allows
1) to see with the naked eye if a frame or a wall painting is not level
2) to level it immediately and precisely without having to back up.

Traditionnellement, afin de mettre un tableau mural à niveau, la personne
est obligée de reculer à plusieurs reprises afin de pouvoir juger d'une faon
approximative de son niveau.
Traditionally, in order to level a wall chart, the person
is forced to back up several times in order to be able to judge
approximate level.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remedier à cet inconvenient. Il
ttqiorte en effet un boîtier qui comporte sur sa face un voyant lumineux qui reste
allumé jusqu'à ce que l'on obLI-nne un niveau horizontal parfait. Ce boîtier se
fixe à un cadre ou tableau mural au moyen d'un film adhésif. Il peut entre flxé
invariablement au dessus ou en dessous du cadre. Lorsque le cadre est à un
niveau horizontal, le voyant s'eteint automatiquement. Le dispositif peut être
réalisé en matière plastique en deux op.'.ations de moulage par injéction.
The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback. he
ttqiorte indeed a box which comprises on its face an indicator light which remains
lit until a perfect horizontal level is reached. This box is
fixed to a frame or wall painting by means of an adhesive film. He can between flxed
invariably above or below the frame. When the frame is at a
horizontal level, the indicator goes off automatically. The device can be
made of plastic in two parts: injection molding.

Les dessins annexes illustrent l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Le dispositif representé sur la figure 1 comporte un boitier (1) ayant des dimensions de tordre de 1 centimètre pour la hauteur, 2 centimetres pour la
profondeur et de 30 centimetres pour la longueur. Dans l'une des petites faces
laterales du boîtier, un orofice (4) permet la circulation de l'air dans le dit
boîtier. Sur la longueur du boîtier et en son milieu eat fixé le voyant (2) qui
indique le niveau. Dans le fond du boîtier l'emplacement pour une pile (3) de longue durée ( 3-4 ans 1 reliée par des conducteurs (5) au système du niveau. Sur
le couvercle du boîtier sont fixés deux films adhésifs (6) protégées par un film
protecteur (7) qui sera retiré lors de son utilisation. Le dispositif représenté
sur la figure 2 est une vue de dessous.Sur le fond du boîtier une vis (8)
renferme l'habitacle de la pile (3) précedemment décrite dans la figure 1. En
dessous du couvercle nous avons 3 clip. (9) fixés au couvercle avec leurs
conducteurs (lo) qui sont reliés aux conducteurs t5) qui sont eux-mmes relié
aux poles positif et négatif de la pile (3) ainsi qu'a' la lampe témoin (2).
The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises a box (1) having dimensions of twisting of 1 centimeter for the height, 2 centimeters for the
depth and 30 centimeters for length. In one of the small faces
side of the housing, an orofice (4) allows air circulation in the said
housing. On the length of the case and in the middle is fixed the indicator (2) which
indicates the level. In the bottom of the housing the location for a long-life battery (3) (3-4 years 1 connected by conductors (5) to the level system.
the cover of the box are fixed two adhesive films (6) protected by a film
protector (7) which will be removed during use. The device shown
in Figure 2 is a bottom view. On the bottom of the housing a screw (8)
contains the battery compartment (3) previously described in Figure 1. In
below the cover we have 3 clip. (9) fixed to the cover with their
conductors (lo) which are connected to conductors t5) which are themselves connected
to the positive and negative poles of the battery (3) as well as to the indicator lamp (2).

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 3 comporte un cylindre (11-13) en matière
plestique dans lequel deux conducteurs en forme de gouttières (14) parcourrent sa
longueur. Ces conducteurs sont isolés dans le centre du cylindre par un isolant (21) qui comporte une encoche (22) dans son milieu afin de stabiliser la bille (12) au niveau zéro qui correspond à l'equilibre horizontal. Les conducteurs traversent dans les positions correspondantes aux clips (9) dans la figure 2; seul le clip du milieu est relié au système pile - voyant. Par conséquent le conducteur (18) sera
positif et le conducteur (19) sera nègatif. Des encoches (20) sont prévues pour
la fixation des clips (10) (voir figure 2). Un couvercle (15) ferme le cylindre
Dans ce couvercle il ya un trou (16) qui permet la libre circulation de l'air afin de faciliter la circulation de la bille dans le cylindre.
The device represented in FIG. 3 comprises a cylinder (11-13) made of material
plastic in which two gutter-shaped conductors (14) run through its
length. These conductors are insulated in the center of the cylinder by an insulator (21) which has a notch (22) in its middle in order to stabilize the ball (12) at the zero level which corresponds to the horizontal equilibrium. The conductors pass through in the positions corresponding to the clips (9) in Figure 2; only the middle clip is connected to the battery - indicator system. Therefore the driver (18) will
positive and the conductor (19) will be negative. Notches (20) are provided for
fixing the clips (10) (see figure 2). A cover (15) closes the cylinder
In this cover there is a hole (16) which allows the free circulation of air in order to facilitate the circulation of the ball in the cylinder.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement déstiné à la lecture et l'obtention d'un niveau horizontal de cadres et tableaux muraux.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for reading and obtaining a horizontal level of frames and wall charts.
