ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for assembling a level of improved construction. The level comprises a frame, including a planar web section having a circular opening formed therein for receiving a level vial, with a pair of diametrically-opposed notches being formed in the periphery of the circular opening. First and second cover members are disposed on opposite sides of the planar web section to cover the opening, with one of the cover members including members for engaging the notches to prevent relative movement, and the other cover member including members for retaining a vial disposed within the opening. In addition, the first and second cover members include a mating connection for allowing relative movement between the cover members so that the position of the vial within the opening may be adjusted during assembly of the level. After assembly, the first and second cover members are ultrasonically bonded to each other through the opening to prevent movement of the cover members and vial relative to the frame after adjustment.
