Overview
The Right Level® is a registered trademark (Registration No. 6,059,472; May 19, 2020) and the brand name of a new, patented invention: a combination level and right angle measuring tool
(Patent No. US 9,778,034 B2; October 3, 2017).
The Right Level is intended for skilled construction professionals for whom time and accuracy are critical. The Right Level requires only one user to not only quickly verify if a long object is level or plumb, but also to easily determine if the angle of the intersection of two objects is 90 degrees. The Right Level can measure for perpendicularity both horizontally and vertically. To obtain the right angle measurement, The Right Level incorporates the three steps of the 3-4-5 rule (based on the Pythagorean Theorem) into its unique design (see Instructions).
The Right Level is the exclusive product of a U.S. veteran-owned small business startup launched by its inventor, Walter Rice of Gambrills, Maryland.
Development
The Right Level has evolved from a novel concept to a wood box-beam prototype to a pre-production aluminum I-beam prototype. The aluminum I-beam prototype contains a number of one-of-a-kind features, as well as replaceable vials, rubber bumpers, and embedded magnets.
Status
The Right Level is ready to be brought to market and is available for licensing or purchase. Engineering drawings, including STEP files (three-dimensional model files), of The Right Level are included.
