Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a level, for example, a structure which is detachable from a frame and can be housed in or retracted from a main body so that a frame or the like can be displayed in a horizontal state without inclination. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a frame used for decorating a painting is attached to a wall or the like in a suspended manner.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, when the frame is attached to the wall surface by hanging it with a string, it is difficult to swing horizontally or vertically, so it is difficult to check whether it is horizontal or vertical. There is a problem that it cannot be decorated.

Therefore, the spirit level of the present invention can be confirmed to be horizontal or vertical when it is mounted on a frame or the like and hung on a wall surface for decoration, and the level can be mounted without tilting in the horizontal or vertical direction. The challenge is to provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the spirit level of the present invention employs a structure in which the object to be detected is detachably attached to, for example, a frame and can be housed or retracted in the main body.

[0006]

[Action]

 For example, when mounting the level by suspending the frame on the wall surface, the level can be pulled out to the outside of the frame of the frame, and the level can be set horizontally or vertically by looking at the level. If the level is stored vertically or in the rear or inside of the frame of the frame, the level becomes inconspicuous, and the frame can always be properly displayed. In addition, the spirit level of the present invention can be detachably attached and used in a place other than the frame.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the level 1 is a horizontal detector 2, and the sliding body 3 is provided in a main body 4 so as to be retractable or retractable. Reference numeral 5 is a protrusion provided on the sliding body 3, and is configured so as to be hooked on the step portion 6 of the main body 4 so that the sliding body 3 does not fall off the main body 4.

In FIG. 1 (A), the horizontal detector 2 is pulled out at a right angle to the lower edge (a) of the main body 4 and extends downward. It appears to appear and disappear in parallel with (a). Further, in FIG. 1B, the horizontal detector 2 is pulled out horizontally with respect to the side edge (b) of the main body 4.

In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 (A) and 2 (B), a vertical detector 2 ′ is provided on the sliding body 3 of the electronic level, and is provided in the main body 4 so as to be retractable or retractable. Has been.

In FIG. 2A, the vertical detector 2 ′ is pulled out to the main body 4 in a vertical direction at right angles to the lower edge a, and in FIG. 2B, the vertical detector 2 ′ is main body. It is pulled out horizontally with respect to the side edge (b) of No. 4.

In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the horizontal detector 2 shown in FIG. 1A is provided on the lower edge 11 of the frame G. It is attached so that it can be moved back and forth.

In addition to the lower edge 11 of the frame G, the upper edge 12 and the side edges 13 and 14 can be attached. By the way, as shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 2 (A), the horizontal edge detector 2 and the vertical edge detector 2'are used for the upper edge 12 and the lower edge 11 so as to pull out in the vertical direction. As shown in FIGS. 1 (B) and 2 (B), the edges 13 and 14 have a structure in which the horizontal detector 2 and the vertical detector 2 ′ are drawn out horizontally.

Further, in the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the horizontal or vertical detectors 2 and 2 ′ are rotatably screwed to the body 4 15 When it is not needed, it is stored in the main body 4, and when it is detected, it is rotated by the screw 15 and pulled out.

In FIG. 5, the level 1 is a horizontal detector 2, and the main body 4 is fixed to the center of the rear surface side of the lower edge 11 of the frame G, and the horizontal detector 2 is attached to the lower portion of the lower edge 11 of the main body 4. It is attached so that it can appear and disappear freely. The level 1 can also be used by itself.

When the frame G is attached to the wall surface 17 by suspending it with the cord 16 as shown in FIG. 6A, the sliding body 3 is pulled downward from the main body 4 of FIG. The frame G is positioned outside the lower part of G, and the inclination of the frame G is adjusted so that the bubbles of the horizontal detector 2 are observed while the bubbles are in a horizontal state.

Since the horizontal detector 2 is parallel to the length direction of the lower edge 11, the frame G can be leveled if the bubbles of the horizontal detector 2 are horizontal, and then the horizontal detector 2 is pushed. If you raise it and store it behind the frame G, it will be inconspicuous from the front. FIG. 6 (c) shows that the level 1 is attached by using the hinge 18, and the level 18 allows the level 1 to freely tilt with respect to the frame.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B), the spirit level main body 4 is attached to the back surface of the side edge 14 of the frame G, and the swinging portion 3 is pulled out from the main body 4 so that the swinging portion 3 can be swung. The frame G is leveled by looking at the horizontal detector 2 provided in the section 3.

In each embodiment, the detector in the level is rotatably movable in the vertical plane so that it can be locked at 90 ° intervals, or the detector itself is rotated by 90 ° in the vertical plane. By enabling the horizontal or vertical direction to be detected in this state, the horizontally long frame can be rotated by 90 ° to be used as a vertically long frame, and various types of frame can be used.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the spirit level 1 according to the present invention is composed of the main body 4 and the detectors 2 and 2 ', and this spirit level 1 can be used as a single item, and should hold the frame G or the horizontal or vertical state. By setting it on a member, it has the effect that it can always be displayed in the correct position.

Further, since the detectors 2 and 2 ′ are configured to be housed in the body 4, the detectors 2 and 2 ′ can be housed in the body unnecessarily without being exposed and unobtrusive. You can do it.
