ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (1) for applying marks to surfaces, such as walls and ceilings, particularly for use in home and building construction, includes a photoelectric detector device (21-25) for detecting bundled light signals from a light source, such as a laser, arranged at a distance from the surface to be marked. A signal-generating positioning aid (27-28) cooperates with the detector arrangement (21-25) for enabling a user of the apparatus to position it on the surface based on the detected light signals. In addition, the apparatus includes a marking device for applying a mark to the surface when the apparatus is correctly positioned.
