Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing laser levels lack sufficient adjustability and mounting options, limiting their versatility and precision in construction and alignment tasks.
Innovation Solution
The laser level incorporates horizontal macro-adjustability, vertical and horizontal micro-adjustability, a removable level module, and a gimbal mount for self-leveling, along with a versatile mount that allows for secure coupling and movement along multiple axes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a laser level is mounted securely to a support structure, then stability and reliability are improved, but adjustability and versatility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mount incorporates movable components including a first movable jaw that can be adjusted along the support structure, and a second movable jaw that can be positioned independently. This dynamic design allows the mount to adapt to different positions and configurations while maintaining secure engagement through adjustable clamping forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount is divided into separate functional components: a base that engages the support structure, a support column that provides vertical positioning, and adjustable jaws that provide horizontal positioning and clamping. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall adjustability.
2Measurement precision
If multiple adjustment mechanisms are added to a laser level, then precision and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mount combines multiple adjustment functions into an integrated structure. The base with its adjustable jaws handles horizontal positioning, the support column with elevation adjustment handles vertical positioning, and the laser level cradle handles orientation. This merging of functions into a unified mount system reduces overall complexity compared to separate adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount is designed to accommodate different laser level models and support structure types through universal engagement features. The adjustable jaws can clamp various diameters, the support column can be positioned at different heights, and the cradle can orient the laser level in multiple directions, providing multi-functionality without requiring multiple specialized components.

AI summary
A laser level mount includes a mount configured to engage a support to couple the laser level mount for secure use of the laser level mount, and a base that is coupled to the mount. The base is configured to support a laser level for movement of the laser level relative to the mount along a first axis and rotation of the laser level about a second axis that is parallel to the first axis and a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.
