DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Technical sector

[001] The invention relates to a device, system and method for leveling a wall or similar vertical surface.

Analysis of the prior art

[002] During renovation, construction or other construction work, a wall must be created or restored, which must be completely vertical or perfectly in one plane. There are various solutions that help to align or level walls or similar vertical surfaces. Some leveling devices are described in patents CN108412171, CN10928132, CN207211647, CN211597605 and JP2003121152. The leveling devices described in the above-mentioned documents are complex designs and their use requires special knowledge.

[003] The aim of the invention is to develop an easy-to-use device and at the same time an efficient leveling device to facilitate the work of leveling walls.

Outline of the invention

[004] The object of the invention is achieved by creating a device for leveling a wall surface or a similar vertical surface. The device comprises a telescopic rod made of at least two tubes that can slide into each other. The telescopic rod includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The telescoping rod further includes a rod coupling device configured to connect the telescoping rod tubes to a specified length or lengths required to set the device between the floor and the ceiling. The device additionally contains two feet, each foot being connected to a respective end portion of the telescopic rod. The connection is made with the help of a connecting element. The foot includes a slider that is slidably connected to the foot such that the slider can move or slide relative to the foot. This movement or sliding allows the telescopic rod to be set vertically or at the required angle relative to a wall or similar vertical surface. The foot includes a shutter configured to close the slide when positioned in a desired position relative to the foot. The device additionally includes a guide surface attached to a telescopic rod for guiding the wall leveling tool.

[005] Telescopic rod tubes can be square, round, rectangular, polygonal, or any other cross-section that allows the tubes to be nested into each other to form a telescopic rod.

[006] The connecting member configured to connect each leg to a respective end portion of the telescopic rod may be of various shapes known to those skilled in the art. For example, the connecting element is a threaded connection - a screw-type element on the foot and a nut-type element on the end of the telescopic rod. The connecting member may also serve as a tensioning device configured to tension the telescopic rod between the legs when the device is positioned between the floor and the ceiling.

[007] A tool for leveling a wall or similar vertical surface can be any tool or accessory used in the craft or construction industry. For example, a wall leveling tool can be a trowel with a straight edge or a robot edge, a leveler or a trowel.

[008] The guide surface may be a tube surrounding the telescopic rod. The guide surface can also be in the form of an additional rod or any other structure that allows any leveling tool or auxiliary tool to be guided along it.
