Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spirit levels, in particular to a spirit level end cover that can be quickly hidden. Background Art

[0002] A level is a commonly used measuring tool for measuring small angles. In the machinery industry and instrument manufacturing, it is used to measure the inclination angle relative to the horizontal position, the flatness and straightness of the guide rails of machine tool equipment, the horizontal and vertical positions of equipment installations, etc.

[0003] An outer shell and end covers need to be installed on the outside of the level to provide protection for the level body. However, the level is often needed to measure surfaces in different environments. At this time, the end covers of the level need to be easy to open and hide, so that the level body can be taken out to measure different surfaces. The existing end covers of the level are not easy to open and hide, and are inconvenient to use. At the same time, it is not convenient to measure the ceiling of the room.
