Abstract
The indicator has a unit which transmits a perfectly vertical luminous beam from. a low point to a high point. This beam is produced from an incandescent or laser source (2) which is mounted on the top of a tripod (8) by use of a ball and socket joint and which simulates a pendulum. A mirror is inclined at 45 degs. and is fixed on a ring pivoting around the beam axis to permit sending of a horizontal laser beam in all azimuths. ADVANTAGE - Enables workman to trace easily on wall or ceiling by use of felt-tipped pen lines for fixing holes or various fittings e.g. electrical lamps.
Description
Les installateurs électriciens, sanitaires, en chauffage, en ventilation et autres poseurs de conduites ont souvent besoin de tracer au plafond d'un bâtiment les endroits de suspension ou de passage de conduites.
Cette opération est malaisée et nécessite toujours l'utilisation d'une échelle ou d'une plateforme si la hauteur du plafond est élevée, ce qui demande du temps et la présence d'un aide.
Il est donc plus facile de tracer sur le plancher les axes des conduites ou des ouvertures et de les reporter verticalement vers le plafond à l'aide d'un appareil spécial et adéquat.
La présente invention permet d'effectuer cette fonction car elle a pour objet un dispositif indicateur de verticalité comprenant une source électrique logée dans un boîtier et produisant un rayon lumineux à incandescence ou à laser dirigé vers le haut, le boîtier étant lesté est suspendu au sommet d'un trépied par l'intermédiaire d'une rotule ce qui provoque un effet de pendule assurant la verticalité du rayon.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description d'une forme d'exécution en regard des 2 dessins, soit:
La Fig. 1 représente schématiquement une coupe partielle du dispositif et montre celui-ci dont le rayon lumineux 1 vertical et dirigé vers le haut provient d'une source de lumière 2 alimentée par une ou plusieurs batteries 3 faisant aussi office de contre-poids. Le tout est logé dans un cylindre 4 qui se prolonge vers le bas par une tige téléscopique 5 terminée par une pointe de visée 6. Cet ensemble est suspendu par l'intermédiaire d'une rotule 7 au sommet d'un trépied 8, ce qui assure la verticalité parfaite du rayon émis, par effet de pendule.
La Fig. 2 représente une vue en perspective de l'utilisation de ce dispositif indicateur de verticalité.
Grâce à ce dispositif indicateur de verticalité à rayon lumineux, un ouvrier muni d'une perche légère, au besoin téléscopique, et terminée par une craie, un pinceau ou un crayon feutre, peut ainsi tracer au plafond d'un immeuble les axes de conduites préalablement dessinés sur le sol et ceci sans aucune assistance.
Cet appareil serait donc très utile sur les chantiers de bâtiments où l'on doit effectuer des installations aux plafonds dont les hauteurs se situent entre 2 et 6 m.
On rencontre déjà sur les chantiers des théodolytes à rayon laser mais ils ne sont pas conçus ni utilisables pour remplir cette fonction du dispositif indicateur de verticalité, et ils sont en outre beaucoup plus coûteux.
Electrical, sanitary, heating, ventilation and other pipelayers often need to trace the locations of hanging or running pipes on the ceiling of a building.
This operation is awkward and always requires the use of a ladder or platform if the ceiling height is high, which requires time and the presence of help.
It is therefore easier to trace the axes of pipes or openings on the floor and to transfer them vertically to the ceiling using a special and suitable device.
The present invention makes it possible to perform this function because it relates to a verticality indicator device comprising an electrical source housed in a housing and producing an incandescent or laser light beam directed upwards, the housing being ballasted hanging from the top a tripod via a ball joint which causes a pendulum effect ensuring the verticality of the radius.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description of an embodiment with reference to the 2 drawings, namely:
Fig. 1 schematically shows a partial section of the device and shows it whose vertical light beam 1 and directed upwards comes from a light source 2 powered by one or more batteries 3 also acting as a counterweight. The whole is housed in a cylinder 4 which is extended downwards by a telescopic rod 5 terminated by an aiming point 6. This assembly is suspended by means of a ball joint 7 at the top of a tripod 8, which ensures the perfect verticality of the emitted ray, by pendulum effect.
Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the use of this verticality indicator device.
Thanks to this vertical light indicator device, a worker equipped with a light pole, if necessary telescopic, and terminated by a chalk, a brush or a felt-tip pen, can thus trace the axes of pipes on the ceiling of a building. previously drawn on the ground and this without any assistance.
This device would therefore be very useful on building sites where installations must be carried out on ceilings whose heights are between 2 and 6 m.
Theodolytes with laser beams are already encountered on construction sites, but they are neither designed nor usable to fulfill this function of the verticality indicator device, and they are also much more expensive.
