A SELF-CENTERING TOOL FOR INSTALLING SIGNAGE AND OTHER APPLICATIONS

Allows workers to move from location to location without having to pull out a tape measure and level each time to mark walls and doors for sign installation

FEATURES AUTOMATIC CENTER-FINDING

THE ‘SWISS ARMY KNIFE’ OF LEVELS THAT ACCEPTS ACCESSORIES

Current measurement tools for installing signage in commercial, apartment, condo, hospitals, hotels, and similar buildings are limited to basic hand tools with singular functions. Self-Centred, on the other hand, features:

  • A bubble level
  • Top and bottom channels allowing for accessories to be attached
  • Simultaneously extending geared rails which will centre automatically within a given span, like a door jam
  • 2 rulers; the Front Ruler measures from either end inwards and the Rear Ruler sets the sign width for center-finding.
  • Adjustable sliding end-stops which can also accept mounting jigs
  • A mono pod that maintains a consistent install height when moving between multiple locations.


This tool will reduce the labour hours and skill level required to install many types of products, allowing companies to be more efficient on the job site, which means they can be more competitive in pricing, and thus more profitable.



Although this tool has been designed specifically for the signage installation, there is potential for a broader market as a modified box beam level with the its ability to attach accessories using the top and bottom channels, such as, line lasers with digital angle-finder, set squares, sliding T-bevels, clamps, laser distance finders, led lights, magnets, suction cups, and much more. With continued ingenuity, this tool could be the "Swiss Army Knife" of levels.

HOW IT WORKS

1.

Set the two end-stops to the sign width on the ruler, then attach the bracket, monopod, adjust to the required height, and lock in place.

2.

Place the assembly against the closed door and extend the simultaneously geared rails outward centering the tool within the door jam and turn the thumbscrews to lock them in place.

3.

Now install the sign between the two previously set end-stops. Once the tool is calibrated, you can continue installing signs on all the doors with-out any further tool adjustments or measurements.

FEATURES
