Integrated drill leveling apparatus

Claim 1

An integrated drill leveling apparatus comprising: a bi-directional orienting means attachable to said drill for simultaneously assisting in the leveling of said drill in two orthogonal directions, said bi-directional leveling means comprising a circular bubble-type level, said circular level including a convex interior cavity which is tapered so as to be wider in the center of said circular level and thinner near the edges thereof; further leveling means attached to the periphery of said circular level for determining the orientation of said drill in a direction perpendicular to the two orthogonal directions determined by said circular level, said further leveling means comprising a tubular type level, said tubular type level including a cavity that is tapered so as to be wider near the center thereof and thinner near the ends thereof with one of said ends being closed and the other end being open, the open end of said tubular cavity and the cavity of said circular level communicating with each other so as to form a continuous cavity; liquid means housed within said continuous cavity; bubble means carried by said liquid means and also housed within said continuous cavity, and barrier means in said cavity of said circular level located adjacent the point of communication of said cavities for preventing said bubble means from escaping into said tubular level when said circular level is inverted so that said tubular level points upwards away from the earth, wherein said integrated level measures orientations in three mutually orthogonal directions.
