Three-dimensional optical levelling, plumbing and angle-calibrating instrument
DCFirst Claim
1. An optical levelling, plumbing and angle-calibrating instrument comprising:
- a frame;
a plumb body universally pendulously mounted on the frame and defining a vertical plumb line gravitationally;
an illuminating means electrically connected to a power supply means and mounted on the plumb body for emitting laser light; and
a cylindrical-surfaced lens means mounted on said plumb body in front of said illuminating means and having a lens axis projectively perpendicular to the laser light emitted from said illuminating means for planarly diverging the laser light as emitted from said illuminating means through said lens means to form a laser light plane transverse to a lens axis of said cylindrical-surfaced lens means, said laser light plane projectively intersecting an objective wall to form an optical image line, said illuminating means and said lens means operatively projecting a first laser light plane projectively perpendicular to the vertical plumb line of the plumb body to intersect the objective wall to form a horizontal straight line of optical image for levelling; and
said illuminating means and said lens means operatively projecting a second laser light plane projectively perpendicular to said first laser light plane to intersect the objective wall to form a vertical straight line for plumbing.

Abstract
An optical levelling, plumbing and angle-calibrating instrument includes: a frame; a plumb body universally pendulously mounted on the frame and defining a vertical plumb line gravitationally; at least an illuminator electrically connected to a power supply and mounted on the plumb body for emitting laser light; and at least a cylindrical-surfaced lens mounted on the plumb body in front of the illuminator for planarly diverging the laser light as emitted from the illuminator through the lens to form a laser light plane transverse to a lens axis of the cylindrical-surfaced lens, whereby the laser light plane will projectively intersect an objective wall to form a straight line of optical image, serving as a reference line for levelling or plumbing use.
