Abstract

The present invention enables inclines to be measured by taking a reading directly from the apparatus, or an incline to be chosen in advance so that it can be transferred onto any surface. The apparatus according to the invention is made up of a rigid body (1) consisting of a straight and flat base (2) fitted with two lengthening pieces (3) to be placed on the slope to be measured, which base is surmounted by a rounded part (5) or a part of any other shape, which is divided into degrees and which contains a flat transparent cylindrical casing (8) half filled with a coloured liquid which can be seen through two strips (7) perforated in the shape of arcs of circles. The surface of this liquid which can be viewed through the perforated strips determines the desired measurement and, by virtue of a movable ruler (12) fixed to the rounded part (5) and which is placed on the graduation thus determined, it is possible to mark out a reference point or draw a line. The movable ruler (12) can also be used to draw one or more angles determined in advance without the use of the liquid, by placing it on one or more of the desired graduations.

Description

La présente invention permet de mesurer des inclinaisons par lecture directe sur l'appareil,ou de choisir à l'avance une inclinaison et de se servir de l'appareil pour tracer des traits et déterminer ainsi un angle désiré. The present invention makes it possible to measure inclinations by direct reading on the apparatus, or to choose in advance an inclination and to use the apparatus to draw lines and thus to determine a desired angle.

L'appareil selon l'invention est constitué d'un corps rigide(l) composé d'une base droite et plate(2) à poser sur la pente à mesurer et qui contient deux allonges(3) placées à chacune de ses extrêmités et que l'on tire jusqu'à ce que deux tétons(4) en assurent le blocage lorsqu'on veut avoir une plus grande surface d'appui et donc une plus grande précision dans la mesure,et surmonté d'une partie arrondie(5) ou de toute autre forme,et graduée en degrés. Ces graduations sont inscrites de chaque côté de l'appareil et se continuent sur la partie droite et plate(2)pour faciliter le traçage et peuvent être d'autant plus précises que l'appareil sera plus grand. Ce corps est conçu en deux parties en matière plastique incassable ou de toute autre matière,assemblées par deux vis(6) ou par tout autre moyen de fixation.Deux bandes ajourées en forme d'arcs de cercle(7) permettent de voir un liquide coloré contenu dans un boîtier cylindrique plat(8) en matière plastique transparent et étanche,placé dans un logement ajusté à son diamètre extérieur par des entretoises(9) lequel n'est rempli qu'à moitié. La surface de ce liquide aperçue par les bandes ajourées(7) détermine la mesure de l'inclinaison par lecture directe. La quantité de liquide contenue dans ce cylindre plat pourraXâtre-completée si necessaire par un orifice de remplissage(10) Fig 5 prévu à cet effet et surmonté d'un bouchon(l1) Fig 6 vissé de telle façon qu'il ne modifie pas le volume du liquide. The apparatus according to the invention consists of a rigid body (1) composed of a straight and flat base (2) to be laid on the slope to be measured and which contains two extensions (3) placed at each of its ends and that is pulled until two pins (4) lock when you want to have a larger support surface and therefore a greater accuracy in the measurement, and topped with a rounded part (5 ) or any other form, and graduated in degrees. These scales are written on each side of the device and continue on the right and flat (2) for easy tracing and can be more accurate as the device will be larger. This body is designed in two parts made of unbreakable plastic material or any other material, assembled by two screws (6) or by any other means of fixation. Two perforated bands in the form of arcs (7) make it possible to see a liquid colored container in a flat cylindrical housing (8) of transparent and waterproof plastic material, placed in a housing adjusted to its outer diameter by spacers (9) which is only half filled. The surface of this liquid seen by the perforated strips (7) determines the measurement of the inclination by direct reading. The quantity of liquid contained in this flat cylinder may be supplemented if necessary by a filling orifice (10) provided for this purpose and surmounted by a plug (11) which is screwed in such a way that it does not modify the volume of the liquid.

Une règle mobile(12) est fixée à la partie arrondie(5) par deux tétons(l3)Fig 7 qui viennent s'encastrer dans des trous(14)
Fig 2 placés au centre de celle-ci,lui permettant ainsi de pivoter sur son axe. Le côté droit de cette règle vient s'aligner sur les graduations de la partie arrondie et permet ainsi de choisir un angle et de se servir de la règle et de la base droite de l'appareil pour le traçage de points de repère ou de traits sans tenir compte du liquide. Le côté droit de la règle passe par le centre de la partie arrondie(5) et est prolongé par une

The right side of this ruler aligns with the graduations of the rounded part and allows you to choose an angle and use the ruler and the right base of the device for drawing landmarks or lines regardless of the liquid. The right side of the ruler passes through the center of the rounded part (5) and is extended by a

La base droite et plate(2) de l'appareil peut être améliorée en y ajoutant une semelle en plastique dur,en aluminium ou en toute autre matière(16).
