Abstract

A laser level is provided to generate a laser beam. The laser level has a main body and a removable pedestal. The main body includes a housing, at least one laser generator, a power source and a switch. The pedestal and the main body mount to each other by magnetism, and the pedestal has a spherical or similar slippery upper surface, the main body has a base surface with a corresponding matching shape such that the main body and the pedestal can well inosculate to each other. The main body can be swiveled or moved all around on the pedestal, and laser beams of different angles and directions can be formed thereby.

Claims

1. A laser level, comprising:

a main body comprising a housing, at least one laser generator in the housing, a power source, and a switch electrically connected to the power source; and

,

a pedestal;

wherein one of the main body or the pedestal has one of a concave or a convex contact area and the other of the main body or the pedestal has a mating concave or convex contact area to removably attach the main body to the pedestal.

2. The laser level of claim 1, wherein the pedestal has a spherical or similar upper surface, and wherein the main body has a base surface with a corresponding mating shape.

3. The laser level of claim 1, wherein the pedestal and the main body removably attach to each other by magnetism.

4. The laser level of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic member associated with one of the main body or the pedestal, and a corresponding attracting member in the other of the main body or the pedestal.

5. The laser level of claim 1, wherein the pedestal comprises at least one push button connected to at least one retractable pin.

6. The laser level of claim 1, wherein the main body comprises at least one leveling indicator.

7. The laser level of claim 6, further comprising a first leveling indicator and a second leveling indicator on the main body, the second leveling indicator being perpendicular to the first leveling indicator.

8. The laser level of claim 7, further comprising a third leveling indicator on the main body, the third leveling indicator being vertical to the first and second leveling indicators.

9. A laser level, comprising:

a main body comprising a housing, at least one laser generator in the housing, a power source, and a switch electrically connected to the power source; and

,

a pedestal;

wherein the main body is removably attachable to the pedestal in a plurality of locations on the pedestal.

10. The laser level of claim 9, wherein the main body is moveable in a plurality of directions on the pedestal.

11. The laser level of claim 9, wherein the main body is moveable under force in a plurality of directions when the main body is attached to the pedestal.

12. The laser level of claim 9, wherein the one of the main body or the pedestal has one of a concave or a convex contact area and the other of the main body or the pedestal has a mating concave or convex contact area to removably attach the main body to the pedestal.

13. A laser level, comprising:

a main body comprising a housing, at least one laser generator in the housing to project a laser beam, a power source, and a switch electrically connected to the power source; and

,

a pedestal;

wherein the main body can be removably swiveled and moved on the pedestal to alter the locational position of the laser beam projected from the laser generator in the main body with a base plane of the pedestal of the main body.

14. The laser level of claim 13, wherein the laser beam can be spatially adjusted by moving the relationship of the main body and the pedestal.

15. The laser level of claim 13, wherein one of the main body or the pedestal has one of a concave or a convex contact area and the other of the main body or the pedestal has a mating concave or convex contact area to removably attach the main body to the pedestal.

16. The laser level of claim 13, wherein the pedestal has a spherical or similar upper surface, and wherein the main body has a base surface with a corresponding mating shape.

17. The laser level of claim 13, wherein the pedestal and the main body removably attach to each other by magnetism.

18. A laser level, comprising:

a main body comprising a housing, at least one laser generator in the housing, the laser generator projecting a fan-shaped laser beam, a power source for the laser generator, and a switch electrically connected to the power source, the housing having a base surface having one of a convex or a concave portion; and

,

a pedestal having an upper surface that has a mating convex or concave portion to mate with the corresponding convex or concave portion of the base surface of the main body.

19. The laser level of claim 18, wherein the laser beam can be spatially adjusted by moving the main body on the pedestal.

20. A laser device, comprising:

a main body comprising a housing, a laser generator positioned within the housing, a power source for the laser generator to project at least one laser beam, and a switch electrically connected to the power source and the laser generator; and

,

a pedestal, wherein the main body and the pedestal attach to each other at a spherical contact area such that the laser beam can be spatially adjusted.
