Definitions
- the invention relates to a device with the features mentioned in the introductory part of independent claim 1.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device with which the cardinal direction and the angle of inclination of a surface of any object can be determined easily, quickly and at the same time.
- the device according to the invention can also be used for this to align an object with one of its surfaces in a given direction and at a given angle of inclination to the horizontal.
- the device according to the invention is set to the desired angle by pivoting the leveling part relative to the foot part and placed on the surface of the object which is to point in the particular direction and should have a certain inclination, and the object is moved so long until the device for determining the cardinal direction (the compass) indicates the specified, desired cardinal direction and the leveling device (in the simplest case the dragonfly) indicates the horizontal position of the leveling part.
- the underside of the foot part forming the contact surface can be covered with a non-slip material.
- the foot part can be inserted into a large-area extension plate, the underside of which is aligned parallel to the contact surface of the foot part.
- Preferred areas of application of the device according to the invention are the alignment of solar collectors or solar cells when using solar energy, the setting up of objects and constructions which are to be aligned according to the direction and inclination, and in roof structures.
- Figure 1 shows an inventive device in an oblique view.
- Figure 2 seen the device from the side.
- the device according to the invention consists of a base part 1, a plate-shaped leveling part 2 and a cover plate 3.
- the foot part 1 is designed as an essentially U-shaped component and has a web 4, the underside of which forms the bearing surface 12 (FIG. 2) to be placed on the surface whose inclination and compass direction is to be determined, and two longitudinally extending legs 5 and 6 projecting from the web 4.
- the leveling part 2 is pivotally mounted on the legs 5 and 6 about bearing 9, so that the leveling part 2 can be pivoted about an axis parallel to the foot part 1.
- a device for indicating the direction of the sky in the exemplary embodiment a magnetic compass 7, and a leveling device, in the exemplary embodiment a spirit level 8, are installed in the leveling part 2.
- the leveling part 2 With the aid of the level 8, the leveling part 2 can be aligned into the horizontal position by pivoting about the bearings 9 and rotating the device with the support surface 12 of the foot part 1 lying on the surface.
- the device according to the invention not only serves to determine the inclination and the cardinal direction of surfaces, but can also be used to object, e.g. Align solar cells or solar collectors in the (sky) direction and inclination that is optimal for the respective purpose.
