Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a level, specifically a short level with good accuracy and stability. Background Technology

[0002] A spirit level is a common measuring tool, used for 95% of measurements, including horizontal and vertical alignment. It is widely used in construction, machinery installation, carpentry, and other fields. In recent years, with the increasing sophistication of daily life and production, short spirit levels have become increasingly popular due to their small size, ease of storage, and portability. However, the compact design of short spirit levels often limits their functionality, resulting in simple product designs. Their small size also makes them prone to being carelessly dropped or misplaced, leading to accidents such as collisions and falls. Furthermore, existing short spirit levels suffer from limited protection points and poor reliability, with the bubble level holder sometimes becoming loose, causing variations in bubble level accuracy.

The lower part of the bracket 3 has several strip-shaped grooves 35 on the front and rear sides that cooperate with the inner wall of the ruler body 1. The middle part of the bracket 3 has a downward-folded flange 32 protruding on the front and rear sides. The flange 32 and the outer wall of the bracket 3 form a slot 33 for the ruler body wall of the mounting opening 11 to be inserted. A first elastic buckle 36 protrudes on the inner wall of the flange 32. The lower end of the mounting opening 11 of the ruler body 1 has a corresponding first locking hole 12. The lower part of the bracket 3 is inserted into the ruler body 1, rests on the ruler body wall of the mounting opening 11 through the front and rear locking grooves 33, and is positioned by the cooperation of the first elastic buckle 36 and the first locking hole 12. The upper left and right sides of the bracket 3 are provided with strip-shaped buckles 34. After the bracket 3 is inserted into the ruler 1, the strip-shaped buckles 34 abut against the inner wall of the upper end of the ruler 1 for positioning. The bracket 3 is provided with a mounting cavity 31 for the horizontal bubble seat 4 to be placed. The inner wall of the mounting cavity 31 is arc-shaped. The horizontal bubble seat 4 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the arc-shaped mounting cavity 31 of the bracket 3. The horizontal bubble seat 4 is set in the bracket 3 and the angle can be adjusted by the arc fit. After the horizontal bubble 5 is adjusted, the horizontal bubble seat 4 and the bracket 3 are glued and fixed. The horizontal level 5 is a level with a rectangular cross-section. The horizontal level 4 has a U-shaped groove 42 formed on it for inserting the horizontal level 5. The upper left and right sides of the U-shaped groove 42 of the horizontal level 4 have elastic edges 41 formed for inserting and positioning the horizontal level 5. The horizontal level 5 is set in the U-shaped groove 42 of the horizontal level 4 and is fixed on the ruler 1 by the cooperation between the horizontal level 4 and the bracket 3.

[0025] The vertical fixing base 6 has a side U-shaped structure with an opening at the left end. The left end of the ruler body 1 is formed with a corresponding U-shaped mounting opening 13. The front and rear sides of the vertical fixing base 6 are provided with folded edges that cooperate with the U-shaped mounting opening 13. The folded edges and the front and rear outer walls of the vertical fixing base 6 form a U-shaped groove for inserting the ruler body wall of the U-shaped mounting opening 13 of the ruler body 1. A second elastic buckle 62 is provided on the inner wall of the folded edge. The ruler body wall inside the U-shaped mounting opening 13 of the ruler body 1 is provided with a corresponding second locking hole 14. The front and rear sides of the right end of the vertical fixing base 6 are provided with several strip-shaped grooves that cooperate with the inner wall of the ruler body 1.
