ABSTRACT

This invention relates to a hand instrument commonly used by carpenters,

mechanics and others for truing surfaces in vertical or horizontal directions,

and can be described as an extension device for obtaining greater accuracy

in taking measurements by employing parts that are extensible. This

invention allows a user to employ the leveling instrument using a shorter

leveling device combined with an extension part to increase the accuracy

obtained with a longer level. The shorter instrument is capable of collapsing

so that it may be contained in a shorter tool case or cabinet. The invention

also provides an extension level in which the extension part is accurately

held with respect to the level indicating means to prevent lost motion and

inaccuracies.
