Description

SREPAIRING KIT FOR AUTOMOTIVE DENTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a repairing kit for automotive dents, and (-i more particularly to a repairing kit that can be used to completely repair auto body cavities by a DIY method.

S(b) Description of the Prior Art Dents are created on a general automobile when the automobile is hit by small rocks or foreign objects. An owner of the car cannot repair by a DIY (Do It Yourself) method, and relies on an auto repair shop to repair the dents. Nevertheless, the majority of repair procedures taken by the auto repair shop include first hammering out the automotive dent cavity to restore it to a smooth surface, and then implementing a baking finish on the surface of the car body, which is both time consuming and very troublesome.

There are a few USA patents that mention a repairing kit for automotive dents, including USA Patent Nos. 1457570, 169646, 5203196 and 5934139, nevertheless, all the above mentioned patents are different from the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The primary object of the present invention is to provide a repairing kit that can be used to repair automotive dents by a DIY method.

To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of components of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of another structure of a repair member of the present invention.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of yet another structure of a repair member of the present invention.

FIGS. 5-9 show schematic views of horizontal motion of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED

EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, which show a repairing kit for automotive dents of the present invention, comprising a straight bar 10, a connecting tube 20, a handle 30, an impact piece 40, a clamp mount 50 and a plurality of repair members 60, 70, 80, wherein two ends of the straight bar 10 are respectively provided with threaded rods 11, 12.

A threaded hole 21 at one end of the connecting tube 20 enables the threaded rod 11 of the straight bar 10 to be fixedly screwed therein.

Another end of the connecting tube 20 is provided with a threaded rod 22, center of which is provided with a stop piece 23.

Center of the handle 30 is provided with a threaded hole 31, thereby enabling the threaded rod 22 of the connecting tube 20 to be fixedly screwed therein.

The impact piece 40 is mounted onto an outer side of the straight bar and is able to slide on the straight bar A threaded hole 51 defined center of the clamp mount 50 enables the threaded rod 12 of the straight bar 10 to be fixedly screwed therein.

Another end of the clamp mount 50 is provided with a clamp groove 52, and another side to the clamp groove 52 is provided with a clamp hole 53.

A clamp piece 61 located at an end of the repair member 60 clamps within the clamp groove 52 of the clamp mount 50. Another end of the repair member 60 is a contact surface 62, an inner edge of which is provided with a pull rod 63.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which show repair members 70 and respectively, each of which has a different shaped repair disk surface, and clamp pieces 71, 81, located at ends of the repair members 70, respectively can be separately clamped within the clamp groove 52 of the clamp mount 50. The disk surface of another end of each of the repair members 70 and 80 designed with a shaped dent 72 or protrusion 82 respectively are formed to match different shaped automotive dents or bulges.

Procedural steps to illustrate actions involved to repair automotive dents are described hereinafter: 1. Referring to FIG. 5, the repair member 60 that appropriately matches an automotive dent A is first chosen, and after applying high polymer glue B to the contact surface 62 of the repair member 60, it is rapidly bonded with the dent A area until the dent A area and the contact surface 62 are completely adhered to each other.

2. Referring to FIG. 6, one hand grasps the handle 30 while the other hand grasps and slides the impact piece 40 towards the rear of the straight bar 10 until it impacts the stop piece 23 of the connecting tube 20. This action is repeated until the dent A area has been completely pulled smooth and restored.

3. Referring to FIG. 7, the clamp hole 53 of the clamp mount 50 is then used to fixedly clamp onto the pull rod 63 of the repair member 60 to facilitate detaching the repair member 60 from the high polymer glue B.

4. Referring to FIG. 8, a drop of cleaning polymer is applied to the residual high polymer glue B, and a plastic knife blade is used to scrape off the residual high polymer glue B.

5. Referring to FIG. 9, after repairing, the dent A is practically unnoticeable.

Accordingly, a user can use the present invention to repair automotive dents and restore a smooth surface to an automobile using a DIY (Do It Yourself) method, without having to rely on an auto repair shop, wasting work, time, and money.

It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
