Description

Richtwaage spirit level
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Richtwaage mit einem in einer Biegeebene verformbaren und in allen anderen Biegeebenen steifen Anlagekörper, der mit mindestens einem schwerkraftabhängigen Neigungssensor und einer stetig in der Biegeebene verlaufenden Anlegekante versehen ist.The invention relates to a spirit level with a deformable in one bending plane and rigid in all other bending planes, which is provided with at least one gravity-dependent inclination sensor and a contact edge running continuously in the bending plane.
Richtwaagen - auch Wasserwaagen genannt - werden z. B. als Hilfsmittel beim Aufhängen von Bildern oder Möbelstücken verwenden und sollen dafür sorgen, daß die Kanten der Bilder oder Möbelstücke exakt horizontal bzw. vertikal verlaufen. Bei den Richtwaagen der eingangs genannten Art (vgl. DE 100 19 880 A1) besteht der Anlagekörper aus einer Vielzahl von gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Gliedern, die durch Metallspannbänder zusammengehalten werden. Eine solche Richtwaage hat gegenüber den üblichen starren Wasserwaagen den Vorteil, daß sie sich besser Krümmungen anpassen kann und ggf. auch in unzugänglichen Ecken verwendet werden kann. Ein solcher aus beweglichen Gliedern zusammengesetzter Anlagekörper ist jedoch sehr aufwendig in der Herstellung und dementsprechend teuer.Spirit levels - also called spirit levels - are used for. B. use as an aid when hanging pictures or pieces of furniture and should ensure that the edges of the pictures or pieces of furniture run exactly horizontally or vertically. In the spirit levels of the type mentioned at the beginning (cf. DE 100 19 880 A1), the contact body consists of a large number of articulated members which are held together by metal tensioning belts. Such a spirit level has the advantage over the conventional rigid spirit levels that it can adapt to curvatures better and can also be used in inaccessible corners if necessary. Such a system body composed of movable members is, however, very complex to manufacture and accordingly expensive.
I Außerdem ist der Raumbedarf dieser Richtwaage erheblich, insbesondere wenn sie verhältnismäßig lang ist.I In addition, the space requirement of this spirit level is considerable, especially if it is relatively long.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Richtwaage der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß sie einfach und billig in der Herstellung ist und auf engstem Raum verstaut werden kann, auch wenn sie verhältnismäßig lang ausgebildet ist. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ausgehend von der Richtwaage der eingangs genannten Art vor, daß der Ausrichtkörper als flaches, spiralig aufwickelbares Band aus elastischem Material, z. B. aus Metall oder aus Kunststoff besteht. Dieser Kunststoff kann beispielsweise durchsichtig sein.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop the spirit level of the type mentioned in such a way that it is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and can be stowed in a confined space, even if it is relatively long. To achieve this object, the invention proposes starting from the spirit level of the type mentioned that the alignment body as a flat, spirally windable band made of elastic material, for. B. consists of metal or plastic. This plastic can be transparent, for example.

Gegebenenfalls kann der Anlagekörper anstelle von nur einem schwerkraftabhängigen Neigungsmesser mehrere schwerkraftabhängige Neigungsmesser aufweisen, z. B. um die Neigung in zwei senkrecht aufeinander stehenden Ebenen feststellen zu können. Die Neigungssensoren können beispielsweise auch abnehmbar oder entlang einer Winkelskala verdrehbar an dem Anlagekörper befestigt sein.If necessary, the contact body can have several gravity-dependent inclinometers instead of only one gravity-dependent inclinometer, e.g. B. to determine the inclination in two mutually perpendicular planes. The inclination sensors can, for example, also be attached to the contact body in a removable or rotatable manner along an angle scale.
Der oder die Neigungssensoren sind zweckmäßig als flüssigkeitsgefüllte Blasenlibellen ausgebildet. Gegebenenfalls können aber auch andere geeignete Neigungssensoren verwendet werden.The inclination sensor (s) are expediently designed as liquid-filled bubble levels. If necessary, however, other suitable inclination sensors can also be used.
