Description

Title of the invention: Spirit level for installing various electrical equipment

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-function level of 80 millimeters x 80 millimeters x 16 millimeters thick for the installation of various electrical equipment (boxes for partitions, waterproof junction boxes, waterproof and non-waterproof power outlets or switches).

[0002] The installation of electrical equipment is always a problem; it is often necessary to redo the upgrading of the equipment.

[0003] Electrical equipment is often installed by eye, and when you enter a room you can immediately see when a device is crooked.

[0004] The device according to the invention makes it possible to overcome this drawback. It comprises, in a first characteristic, an element with two bubbles for use in both directions, which allows the leveling devices to be installed.

[0005] This product has several advantages:

[0006] -When installing electrical boxes or equipment between 25 and 30cm from the ground, using this device avoids having to redo work done previously, thus avoiding unnecessary movements and postures.

[0007] -Avoid gestures and postures for a second intervention.

[0008] -Returning after customer acceptance due to defects generates additional costs.

[0009] -It is very light and compact.

[0010] -According to particular embodiments:

[0011] -There are two through holes with a center distance of 52 millimeters for tracing housings waterproof electrical fittings (switches, power outlets).

[0012] -There are two half-depth holes for leveling the 67 mm diameter flush-mounting boxes.

[0013] -There are two half-depth holes for leveling the 85 mm diameter flush-mounting boxes.

[0014] -There are four sides for upgrading electrical equipment (power outlets, various sockets or non-waterproof switches).

[0015] -The rear face fits onto sealed bases.

[0016] -The rear face with its notches allows for the leveling of junction boxes waterproof. Brief description of the drawings
