Abstract:
1. A laser mounting tool for mounting a laser tool to a wall to adjacent to an end of a mounted first molding segment and for orienting the laser tool to project a beam of light from a point aligned with a longitudinal edge of the first molding segment along the wall to locate and permit marking of the position of a corresponding second molding segment longitudinal edge comprising: a laser tool distal end for mounting to a support surface and having a laser tool proximal end; a mounting structure comprising a structure peripheral region with fastener passing openings for securing said mounting structure to a wall adjacent to an end of a first molding segment, and mounting structure slidable fastening means, and a backing structure for slidably fastening to said mounting structure slidable fastening means and for fastening to said laser tool distal end, said backing structure having a direction indicator extending laterally to an extent to be visible to an observer at the laser tool proximal end; such that said mounting structure slidable fastening means permits said backing structure, together with said laser tool fastened to said backing structure, to slide relative to said mounting structure and thus relative to a wall to which said mounting structure is mounted and also to be rotated relative to the wall to align the direction indicator on one side of the laser tool with an end of a first molding segment and to project a laser beam in an opposing direction for marking a position for a second molding segment.
