Abstract
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.
Claims
1. I claim any product used to create a level work surface, using the below listed items as described, is a leveling board, also known as leveling table, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, for the purpose of this patent. a: Flat Board. The flat board as shown in FIG. 1(1) and FIG. 3(7) can be textured or smooth; made of wood, plastic, or tempered glass; in the shape of a square or rectangle; and with any dimension or color. b. Hole. One hole drilled into the wood or plastic flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1), on each of its four corners. c. Threaded Insert Nut. The threaded insert nut, as shown in FIG. 2(6), placed into each hole in each of the four corners of the flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1) and FIG. 3(7), that allows the thumb screw, as shown in FIG. 2(5), to move up or down securely, as shown in FIG. 2. d. Coupling Nut. The coupling nut, as shown in FIG. 4(10), is glued into a coupling nut bracket, as shown in FIG. 4(9), which is glued to each of the four corners of the flat board, as shown in FIG. 3(8). The coupling nut allows the thumb screw, as shown in FIG. 3(5), to move up or down securely. An example of this is displayed in FIG. 4. e. Thumb Screws. The thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 2(5) and FIG. 3(5), are used to move the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, up or down, when hand screwed clockwise or counterclockwise. The thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 2(5), are screwed into the threaded insert nut, as shown in FIG. 2(6), for the wood or plastic board, and the coupling nut, as shown in FIG. 4(10), for the glass board, as shown in FIG. 3(7). f. Bubble Levels. The bubble levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3), are glued into a bubble level bracket, as shown in FIG. 1(2) and FIG. 3(8). The bubble levels show that the leveling board, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, is level, when the bubble in the bubble level is in the center. g. Bubble Level Brackets. The bubble level brackets for the plastic or wood leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1(2), is a bracket that holds the bubble level, as shown in FIG. 1(3), and is securely screwed to two adjacent side edges of the wood or plastic flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1). h. Bubble Level Brackets. The bubble level brackets for glass leveling boards, as shown in FIG. 3(8), which holds the bubble levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3), are glued securely to two or four adjacent bottom edges of the flat board, as shown in FIG. 3(7). i. Bracket Screws. as shown in FIG. 1(4), are used to screw the screwed bubble level brackets, as shown in FIG. 1(2), to the wood or plastic flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1). j. Coupling Nut Bracket. as shown in FIG. 4(9), is used to hold the coupling nut, as shown in FIG. 4(10). The coupling nut, as shown in FIG. 4(10), is glued into the bracket, as shown in FIG. 4(9). A coupling nut bracket, as shown in FIG. 4(9), is then glued to the underside of each of the four corners of the flat board, as shown in FIG. 3(7). I claim this as my invention for the purpose of this patent.
Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
[0015] The leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, solves the surface leveling issues for users by providing a more accurate and easier leveling tool.
[0016] The leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, can be made into different dimensions and in the shape of a rectangle or square. It can be made from any type of wood or plastic or tempered glass. It can also come in different colors.
[0017] The leveling board, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, has two or four bubble levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3). The bubble levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3), are glued into the level brackets, as shown in FIG. 1(2) and FIG. 3(8).
[0018] The bubble level bracket, as shown in FIG. 1(2), is screwed on the side of the wood or plastic flat board, as shown in FIG. 1(1). The bubble level brackets, as shown in 3(8), are glued to the bottom of the glass flat board, as shown in FIG. 3(7).
[0019] For wood or plastic leveling boards, as shown in FIG. 1(1), a hole is drilled into each corner. A threaded insert nut, as shown in FIG. 2(6), is placed in each hole by twisting it in securely. The thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 2(5), are then screwed into the threaded insert nut, as shown in FIG. 2(6).
[0020] The plastic or wood leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1, is set on the user's work surface. Two adjacent thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 1(5), are then screwed into the threaded insert nuts, as shown in FIG. 2(6). The user turns the thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 1(5), concurrently by hand, clockwise or counterclockwise, based on whether the user wants to raise a side to make the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1, level. This step is continued on the next adjacent, perpendicular side of the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1, until the bubbles are centered in both levels, as shown in FIG. 1(3). The item to be leveled is set upon the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 1, and is then considered level.
[0021] The glass leveling board, as shown in FIG. 3, is set on the user's work surface. Two adjacent thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 3(5), are then screwed into the threaded coupling nuts, as shown in FIG. 4(10). The user turns the thumb screws, as shown in FIG. 3(5), concurrently by hand, clockwise or counterclockwise, based on whether the user wants to raise a side to make the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 3, level. This step is continued on the next adjacent, perpendicular side of the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 3, until the bubbles are centered in both levels, as shown in FIG. 3(3). The item to be leveled is set upon the leveling board, as shown in FIG. 3, and is then considered level.
