  • Patent number: 10151586
    Abstract: A spirit level has a hollow profile member as the spirit level body and at least one bubble level with a bubble level holder. The bubble level holder is mounted moveably in the spirit level body, and the bubble level holder has an opening into which a fixing element can be introduced through a wall of the spirit level body. The fixing elements prevents a displacement of the bubble level holder parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spirit level body, and allows a movement of the bubble level holder normal to a measurement surface of the spirit level body.

  • Patent number: 9726484
    Abstract: A level device for a spirit level includes a level device body, and a substantially cylindrical cavity formed by an inside wall of the level device body. The cavity has a longitudinal axis and serves to accommodate a liquid, and the level device body is arranged in a carrier body. The carrier body includes two transparent covers for closing the carrier body and preferably includes a casing body which is preferably in the form of a circular ring. An outside wall of the level device body has a curved region with a curvature in the longitudinal direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the cavity, by which a magnifying glass effect can be achieved when viewing a marker body which can be arranged in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 8327552
    Abstract: A device includes a vial for a spirit level. The vial has at least a first and a second region, and the second region directly adjoins the first region. A marker body is provided in the vial, and the marker body in a leveled condition of the vial is disposed in the first region. One of the at least two regions is darkened and thereby the marker body is partially visible outside the leveled condition of the vial.
