Claim Text:
1. A device for capturing a laser beam spanning a plane, said device comprising: a receiver unit comprising a housing with an upper surface, a rear surface opposite said upper surface, and a side surface perpendicular to said upper surface; a measuring area comprising a sensor disposed on said upper surface; a mounting detachably connected to the housing; said mounting comprising a polygonal-shaped base body having a longitudinal surface and an end surface; first and second clamping jaws disposed on said base body, wherein said clamping jaws are adjustable relative to each other; wherein each of said first and second clamping jaws has a clamping surface that is parallel to the end surface of the base body; a stop element defined by the end surface of the base body, or a section of the base body that forms a support surface, and a stop surface that extends perpendicularly from the end surface of the base body; a means for fastening the mounting to the receiver unit; wherein, in a first position, the upper surface or the rear surface of the housing rests against the stop surface, and the side surface of the housing rests against the end face of the mounting, or against the support surface, wherein said first position is fixed using the fastening means; wherein, in a second position, the side surface of the housing contacts the stop surface, such that the upper surface of the housing is at an incline with respect to the clamping surfaces of the clamping jaws.
