  • Patent number: 6195902
    Abstract: A laser extender is provided for accurately elongating a reference line. The laser extender includes a housing, a battery set, and a laser unit. The housing has an external basic flat plane for resting upon a flat surface and having a straight edge that is adapted to be aligned with a reference line, an internal accommodating space, and a plurality of through holes for accessing the internal accommodating space from the exterior of the housing. The battery set is provided inside the internal accommodating space. The laser unit, utilizing power provided by the battery set, is located inside the internal accommodating space for generating a spanning plane laser beam perpendicular to the basic flat plane of the housing and for extending the reference line defined by the straight edge. In addition, the laser extender can engage a beam leveler for enhancing the leveling ability of the laser extender.

  • Patent number: 6163969
    Abstract: A 3D laser leveler is provided for accurately locating distant parallel or extension lines. The 3D laser leveler has a base block and a rotator. The base block provides a base plane for resting upon a flat surface when in use, a first leveling unit for examining the leveling status of the base plane, and a pivot mechanism. The rotator is rotatably connected to the base block and rotatable around the pivot mechanism, and includes a housing for providing an internal accommodating space, a battery set and a laser unit received inside the accommodating space. The laser unit uses power provided by the battery set for generating a spanning plane laser beam that can be utilized to locate a spatial extension or a perpendicular line. In addition, a joining bracket can be included separately to connect the 3D laser leveler and a conventional beam leveler.
