Patent ID: 8826554

Claim:
A baluster level system comprising: a level comprising: a level body, having a proximal end, a distal end, and defining a view port; a slide housing connected to the proximal end of the body at a proximal end, and defining a central aperture formed through at least part of a length of the slide housing; a plunger, having a proximal end and a distal end, the plunger proximal end being slideably secured within the central aperture of the slide housing; a leveling device positioned within the view port of the level body; a pressure exerting device disposed between the slide housing and the plunger, constructed and arranged to exert pressure upon the plunger and the slide housing along a lengthwise axis of the level, urging the distal end of the plunger away from the distal end of the level body, wherein the pressure exerting device is a spring assembly; and wherein the level is positioned between a banister and a floor, the spring assembly causing the distal end of the plunger to exert a continual force on one of the floor or banister, and causing the distal end of the level body to exert a continual force on the other of the floor or banister, thereby holding the level in place between the banister and the floor.
