Level

A tool, such as a level, including one or more polymer/plastic body segment, protective cover and/or seal is provided. The covers discussed herein may limit or prevent dirt or construction materials, such as concrete, from entering into the level body. The cover may also be a non-stick material, such as a polymer outer sleeve, that limits the ability of dirt and construction material to adhere to the level. The level may also include scratch resistant vial windows.

Level with metal frame supporting protective outer body

A level including a rotating level vial is provided. The level includes a locking mechanism that utilizes an actuator that engages a brake to lock the rotating vial into the desired position. The locking mechanism may include a spring element that is compressed by the actuator during locking, and the spring element in turn pushes against the brake facilitating control of the normal force that the brake applies to the vial surround of the rotating vial. The rotating level vial may engage the level body such that the rotating level vial is permitted to rotate 360 degrees in both the clockwise and counter clockwise directions.

Level with rotating vial and locking assembly

A mounting system for suspending luminaires from a mounting surface with a cord. In some embodiments, the cord houses both the cable for supporting the luminaire in a suspended orientation as well as the electrical wires or connectors for electrically connecting the luminaire to a power source. In some embodiments, the mounting system is designed to ensure that the cable bears the entire weight of the luminaire and that the connectors bear no weight of the luminaire. The mounting system can include a pan that is mounted to the mounting surface and a rotatable joint positioned within the pan. The cord is attached to the rotatable joint. Rotation of the rotatable joint within the pan enables the cord to extend at nadir regardless of the angle of the mounting surface and without kinking of the cord.

Luminaire mounting assembly

A vial hopper and feeder assembly is used in conjunction with automated prescription filling devices and systems, wherein the vial hopper and feeder assembly is configured to allow an operator to dump a large number of vials into a hopper in a random orientation, and the hopper/feeder assembly has the capability of selecting individual vials, orienting them in the proper direction, and delivering them individually in assembly line fashion, and in proper orientation, to the next step of the prescription filling process. A rotatable singulator receives the vials, feeds each vial individually to a pocket within a rotating turnstile. Sensors detect the presence and orientation of the vial, upright or upside down, and the turnstile rotates either clockwise or counterclockwise, based on the orientation of the vial within the pocket, to release each vial in one single direction.
