Sanborn Leveling Board
Since the invention of the leveling board tool, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, users can easily obtain a level work surface easily by turning the thumb screws, as shown in FIGS. 2(5) and 3(5), attached to the flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1) and FIG. 3(7), until the bubbles are centered within the attached bubble levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3) and FIG. 3(3). This has become a tool used by multiple users for leveling equipment, leveling chemical measurements, and leveling liquid media in art projects.

Spirit level
A method is provided for setting up of an object, where the alignment of the object on a target angle is checked by means of a spirit level having a body, where in the end areas of the spirit level are clamping elements are arranged. The method comprises the step: clamping of the spirit level between object areas when the object is aligned outside the vertical, setting up of the object, a signal being generated by a sensor integrated in the spirit level upon the target angle being reached, and fixing of the object in its target angle position.

Apparatus and methods for hanging objects on a vertical surface
A hanger for hanging an object on a vertical surface includes a plate with a front face and a back face. The back face is to abut a vertical surface onto which the object is to be hung. The hanger includes a first hook and a second hook protruding outward from the front face and an integrated bubble level fixably coupled to the front face and calibrated to indicate a horizontal orientation of the first hook relative to the second hook. A plurality of wall contacts protrudes outward from the front face. Each wall contact includes an opening through which an attachment mechanism traverses to attach the plate to the vertical surface. The hanger does not require the object to have a specifically shaped counterpart in order to interface with the hanger. The hanger removes the need for elaborate and/or time-consuming measuring, thus saving the user time and frustration.

Head positioning and posture balance reference device
An assembly for mounting to a head-worn accessory, the assembly includes a body configured to be affixed onto the accessory. The body has a level bubble tube. A second body configured to be affixed onto the accessory, the second body having a second level bubble tube. The second body is pivotably attached to the first body by a connection that allows pivoting of the second body relative to the first body.

LEVELING DEVICE
A leveling device having at least one opening that houses a leveling vial and having a channel formed from a working surface, where at least one magnet and at least one spacer are retained in the channel.
Electrical box installation tool
A template for use in installing electrical boxes. The template may be used to install electrical boxes in both new and old work. An elongated member is configured to grip and frictionally engage a wall stud with a pair of stud gripping components. A plurality of spacers may be inserted between the elongated member and the wall stud to set the installation depth based on the thickness of the drywall to be installed. A pair of electrical cutouts are positioned along the elongated member at a desired height to locate a height of the electrical boxes. A second pair of cutouts are positioned along the elongated member at a second desired height to locate a second height of the electrical boxes. In an additional embodiment, the template is a mat with an electrical box cutout for locating the installation position for the electrical boxes on a finished wall.
