DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] In the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 of the diagrams, it is illustrated an improved laser level multi-tool comprised of a body section 1 with a sliding track system 3 formed generally along the length of the said body section. The body section is capable of accommodating a laser projection arm 2 within said sliding track system 3, wherein the said laser projection arm is adjustably mounted disposed within said sliding track system of the body section, in that its position can change by sliding along the track system or rotating for different variations of utility among other types of movement. A lock mechanism disposed within said sliding track system of the body to adjustably mount the laser projection arm. In its essence, a projection arm has a laser beam source 8 arranged generally at the frontal section of the arm and may be one of lasers that projects a single point type, projects a 180° line or projects a single straight line from the source of the beam.

[0021] Further, in the same FIG. 1 of the diagrams is illustrated normal levels 5, preferably but no always mounted on the top surface of the body section. The levels perform the task of indicating the levelness of the multi-tool for efficient operation of its designated tasks. A laser arm lock knob 10 and a degree dial gauge 6 are provided on the body section and projection arm respectively, wherein the degree dial provides suitable measuring method for determining the angle between the body section and the projection arm, and by extension, the angle at which the laser beam source 8 is projected. Also illustrated in the same diagram are wall mounts 12, which allow for the multi-tool to be mounted suitably on a wall for purposes of operation, and a wall leveling knob 11, preferably provided to help adjust the multi-tool to a level position for suitable operation.

[0022] In a second embodiment according to FIG. 2 of the diagrams, it is illustrated an improved laser level multi-tool comprised of a body section 1 with a sliding track system 3 formed generally along the length of the said body section. The body section is capable of accommodating a laser projection arm 2 within said sliding track system 3. Further provided are hand grooves 9 suitably provided to enable holding and handling the multi-tool by an operator. While it is illustrated ad having the hand grooves on the top surface, the said hand grooves could be located anywhere on the body section. A second laser beam source 4 is provided, preferably positioned to project laser beams along the 180° axis. In the preferred embodiment illustrated, the laser beam type is a dedicated laser on the body mounted to project lasers along the 180° plane. It could further be rotatably mounted, and may be one of lasers that projects a single point type, projects a 180° line or projects a single straight line from the source of the beam.

[0023] The embodiment according to FIG. 3 of the diagrams illustrates an exploded leveller device. Illustrated is a body section 1 with a sliding track system 3 formed generally along the length of the said body section. The body section is capable of accommodating a laser projection arm 2 within said sliding track system 3, wherein the said laser projection arm is adjustably mounted disposed within said sliding track system of the body section, in that its position can change by sliding along the track system or rotating for different variations of utility among other types of movement. A lock mechanism disposed within said sliding track system of the body to adjustably mount the laser projection arm. In its essence, a projection arm has a laser beam source 8 arranged generally at the frontal section of the arm and may be one of lasers that projects a single point type, projects a 180° line or projects a single straight line from the source of the beam.

[0024] Further illustrated on the exploded view of the diagram is are normal levels 5, preferably but no always mountable on the top surface of the body section. A degree dial gauge 6 are provided mountable on the body section and projection arm respectively, wherein the degree dial provides suitable measuring method for determining the angle between the body section and the projection arm, and by extension, the angle at which the laser beam source 8 is projected. Also illustrated in the same diagram are wall mounts 12, which allow for the multi-tool to be mounted suitably on a wall for purposes of operation, and a wall leveling knob 11, preferably provided to help adjust the multi-tool to a level position for suitable operation.

[0025] The FIG. 4 of the diagrams is an illustration of an alternative embodiment of a leveler with an open channel type of a sliding track 13. The objective of having the open type of channel as in the diagram is to provide for a projection arm that has a near 360° field of view, as it is rotatably mounted in said sliding track. Illustrated in the diagram is a projection arm 2 in a folded position, wherein the laser beam source 8 of the projection arm is projected generally parallel along the body section.
