US12589469 - Leveling knob system and mechanism

A leveling system for a clamping device can include a base having a top, a bottom, and a plurality of sides; and a leveling knob positioned on one of the plurality of sides of the base and comprising a spring, a pin, and a knob connected at an outer end of the shaft. The spring can be compressible when the knob is pulled away from the base. In a locked configuration, the leveling knob can be at a neutral angle and in a home position with the pin positioned within the base. The pin can be removable from the base when the spring is compressed. The leveling knob can be twistable in at least one of clockwise and counterclockwise rotations when the pin is removed from the base.

Claim 1

1 . A leveling system comprising: a clamping device having a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, wherein the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm each have an inner face, and the inner faces are opposed to each other and define parallel planes, a base, wherein at least one of the first and second clamping arms is disposed thereon, and a clamping mechanism connecting the first clamping arm to the second clamping arm and enabling at least one of the first and second clamping arms to move relative to the other of the first and second clamping arms; and a leveling knob attached to the base and comprised of a knob disposed on an end of a shaft, wherein the leveling knob adjusts positioning of the opposing, parallel faces through a range of angles perpendicular to the parallel planes of the inner faces, the leveling knob has an elongate axis that is parallel to the parallel planes of the inner faces of the clamping arms, and at least a portion of the shaft is positioned within the base. a clamping device having a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, wherein the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm each have an inner face, and the inner faces are opposed to each other and define parallel planes, a base, wherein at least one of the first and second clamping arms is disposed thereon, and a clamping mechanism connecting the first clamping arm to the second clamping arm and enabling at least one of the first and second clamping arms to move relative to the other of the first and second clamping arms; and a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, wherein the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm each have an inner face, and the inner faces are opposed to each other and define parallel planes, a base, wherein at least one of the first and second clamping arms is disposed thereon, and a clamping mechanism connecting the first clamping arm to the second clamping arm and enabling at least one of the first and second clamping arms to move relative to the other of the first and second clamping arms; and a leveling knob attached to the base and comprised of a knob disposed on an end of a shaft, wherein the leveling knob adjusts positioning of the opposing, parallel faces through a range of angles perpendicular to the parallel planes of the inner faces, the leveling knob has an elongate axis that is parallel to the parallel planes of the inner faces of the clamping arms, and at least a portion of the shaft is positioned within the base. the leveling knob adjusts positioning of the opposing, parallel faces through a range of angles perpendicular to the parallel planes of the inner faces, the leveling knob has an elongate axis that is parallel to the parallel planes of the inner faces of the clamping arms, and at least a portion of the shaft is positioned within the base.
