  • Patent number: 6108919
    Abstract: An automatic optical plumbing instrument includes: an objective telescopically mounted at a front portion of a telescopic housing adjacent to an object to be observed, an ocular telescopically mounted at a rear portion of the housing adjacent to an observer's eye, and a transparent plumbing protractor defining a plumbing line thereon and mounted in the housing between the objective and the ocular, whereby upon entrance of a vertical line (or plane) of the object into the instrument to form an image therein, a verticality of the vertical line (or plane) of the object can be checked whether the vertical line is aligned with the plumbing line marked on the protractor, thereby providing a plumbing instrument for calibrating a verticality of the object.

  • Patent number: 4656752
    Abstract: A precise-reading angular level includes a casing, a rotational protractor rotatably mounted in the casing, a plumbing swing wheel pivotedly mounted in the protractor, and a vernier formed on the central top position of the casing above the protractor, wherein the protractor is made to have an outer angle scale matching with the vernier scale and an inner angle scale operatively coinciding with a pointer printed on the swing wheel to prevent strabismal reading error, and an aligning pointer is formed on the protractor to projectively superimpose the pointer on the wheel for convenient reading of the measured angle even after removing the level from the measuring position.
