Zero-in Centering Technology

The Perfect Companion to a Stud Finder

Zero-In is a new product designed to fit into the stud finder/laser level market. The patent pending product was developed to assist contractors or do-it-yourselfers in drilling a hole at a precise spot from a blind side.

For example, if you need to drill through a brick wall from outside of your home and run that new HDTV antenna cable “exactly” in the bottom corner of your den, then Zero-In is your tool. If you need to precisely install ductwork in an older home or carefully place that new water pipe through a ceramic tile kitchen wall then Zero-In is definitely the tool for you. 

Zero-In uses an emitter that is placed on one side of a wall, ceiling, floor, etc., where a hole needs to be exactly drilled.  The receiver, shaped like a big “O” or donut is used on the other side of the wall (drilling side) to detect the emitter’s signal.

The receiver is moved around the outside area adjacent to where the emitter is thought to be. As it nears the emitter, an audible tone is given off letting the user know he is in the vicinity of the target.  He moves the receiver in a circular pattern, like washing a window until the audible tone beeps faster and becomes louder.  The LED bars will light once he has ”Zeroed-In” to the emitter.  When he is exactly centered over the emitter, all bars or LEDs will light and the tone is steady.  He can mark his spot through the center hole and drill.  It is exact every time!

Available for Licensing

The Zero-In technology and its logos are available for licensing and/or purchase.  The technology has not yet been licensed, but we have talked to numerous Stud Finder manufacturers and others to gauge their interest.  All of them want to purchase the technology outright. Although the technology could be sold, we prefer to enter an exclusive license with one manufacture.

Zero-In, invented by Sam Gasque, had a provisional patent filed by the patent firm, Dority and Manning (Bernie Klosowski) in Greenville, SC.  The firm represents many prestigious national and international clients.

A broad utility patent was later filed along with a recent Continuation-In-Part. An extensive patent search was performed prior to the official filing.  Trademark registration has also been filed on the name Zero-In and its logo.   Licensing and/or a purchase would, of course, include the trademark.
