  • Patent number: 5127167
    Abstract: A multi-function spirit-level adapted for use as inclination indicators for different specific slopes comprising a central conventional spirit level bubble tube attached at each distal end to a rectangular member with no support or other structure therebetween. The rectangular members are positioned normal to the central bubble tube. One of the rectangular members has a greater surface area than the other. The rectangular members are positioned at the ends of the bubble tube so that their four narrow outer surfaces are parallel. The bubble tube is centered on one of the rectangle members and positioned off center on the other. The offset position of one end of the bubble tube allows the spirit level to measure four different slope angles by resting the rectangular members on each of their four different outer parallel surfaces.
