  • Patent number: 4402141
    Abstract: A leveling mechanism having bubble levels is removably attachable to a hand-held power drill. In one form, the leveling mechanism includes a drive shaft coupled between the drill and a chuck for rotation therewith. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted to a support, and the support is held stationary relative to the drill housing. The support may include first and second surfaces parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft for supporting first and second bubble levels. Alternatively, the support may include a support plate and a level plate hinged thereto for supporting one or more bubble levels; a grooved alignment plate engages the edges of the support plate and level plate for maintaining a predetermined angular relationship therebetween. In another form, the leveling mechanism is removably attached to the front face of the drill housing.

  • Patent number: 4258475
    Abstract: A sighting device for enhancing a golfer's putting accuracy comprises an elongated vertical sight and a liquid level, which are provided by a compact hand-held, semitransparent or translucent casing with particular indicia and contained liquid. After the golfer moves to a position at which he views the ball and the cup along their shortest interjacent path, he views the position of the cup with respect to the ball in reference to the sight and plumbs the sight in reference to the level. A correct indication of how the ball will break thereby is provided.

  • Patent number: 4158259
    Abstract: A hollow body is provided defining a pair of openings therein opening outwardly of the interior of the body in directions disposed at generally right angles relative to each other. A substantially planar light reflective surface is mounted within the body for reflecting light rays entering the body through one opening outwardly from said body through the other opening and a finger engageable support member is provided for engaging and support from a finger portion with said finger portion extending along a predetermined path relative to the support member. Mounting structure is provided for mounting the support member on the exterior of the body for adjusted angular displacement of the support member relative to the body about an axis disposed at generally right angles relative to one of said directions and said path.
