Um beschädigte Karosserien oder Karosserieteile von Kraftfahrzeugen wieder instandzusetzen bzw. aufzubauen, werden im allgemeinen Richtwinkelsätze verwendet, die auf besonderen Richtbänken aufgebaut sind und mit welchen die Überprüfung der verschiedenen Befestigungen der einzelnen Teile unterhalb der Karosserie durchgeführt werden kann.In order to repair or rebuild damaged bodies or body parts of motor vehicles, straightening angle sets are generally used which are built on special straightening benches and with which the various fastenings of the individual parts can be checked below the body.

Eine derartige Richtbank besteht im allgemeinen aus einem aus Profilstücken aufgebauten Rahmen, auf dem Terminal-Richtwinkelsätze angeordnet sind, die aus mechanischen Teilen bestehen, die auf entsprechend am Rahmen befestigten Führungsträgern längsverschieb- und festlegbar mit als Multi-Z-Aufnahmen dienenden Säulen angeordnet sind. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise in dem DE-GM 87 08 639.5 beschrieben.Such a straightening bench generally consists of a frame constructed from profile pieces, on which terminal straightening angle sets are arranged, which consist of mechanical parts which are arranged on guide rails fastened to the frame in a longitudinally displaceable and fixable manner with columns serving as multi-Z receptacles. Such a device is described for example in DE-GM 87 08 639.5.

Um nun die einzelnen Punkte der Karosserie zu überprüfen, müssen die Richtwinkelsatzteile so auf der Richtbank eingestellt werden, daß die entsprechenden Punkte der Karosserie an den entsprechenden Punkten des Richtwinkelsatzes genau anliegen.In order to check the individual points of the body, the straightening bracket parts must be set on the straightening bench so that the corresponding points of the body at the corresponding points in the straightening bracket set.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil zu schaffen, welches insbesondere dann verwendet werden kann, wenn zwei nahe beieinander liegende Punkte der Karosserie zu überprüfen sind. In diesem Falle ist es im allgemeinen schwierig, Richtwinkelsatzteile mit eigenen Multi-Z-Aufnahmen zu verwenden.The present invention has for its object to provide a terminal straightening angle set part, which can be used in particular when two points of the body close to each other are to be checked. In this case, it is generally difficult to use straightening bracket parts with your own Multi-Z recordings.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe wird ein Richtwinkelsatzteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 vorgeschlagen, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß auf der in den Träger eingesetzten und mit einem Arm versehenen Säule des Elementes ein weiteres, einen Arm tragendes Element zur gleichzeitigen kontrollierung eines zweiten Punktes am Fahrzeug mit einer Muffe gleitend dreh- und festlegbar angeordnet ist.To solve the problem, a straightening angle set part is proposed according to the preamble of claim 1, which is characterized in that on the inserted in the carrier and provided with an arm column of the element, another arm-supporting element for simultaneous control of a second point on Vehicle with a sleeve is rotatably arranged and fixed.

Mit dem Richtwinkelsatzteil gemäß der Erfindung wird der wesentliche Vorteil erreicht, daß zwei nahe beieinander liegende Punkte der Karosserie überprüfbar sind, an welchen ein zweites Teil platzmäßig nicht untergebracht werden kann. Ferner wird für diese doppelte Prüfung nur eine Multi-Z-Aufnahme benötigt, wodurch sich eine Vereinfachung der Richtbank ergibt. Die beiden Elemente können an der Oberseite beliebig ausgebildet und mit entsprechend angeordneten Bohrungen versehen sein, um die Punkte am Kraftfahrzeug zu erreichen. In den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 4 sind bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Elemente beschrieben.With the straightening angle set part according to the invention, the main advantage is achieved that two points of the body close to each other can be checked, at which a second part cannot be accommodated in terms of space. Furthermore, only a Multi-Z recording is required for this double test, which simplifies the straightening bench. The two elements can be designed in any way on the upper side and can be provided with correspondingly arranged bores in order to reach the points on the motor vehicle. Preferred embodiments of the elements are described in subclaims 2 to 4.

Anhand der Zeichnungen soll am Beispiel einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform das Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil gemäß der Erfindung näher erläutert werden.The terminal straightening angle set part according to the invention is to be explained in more detail using the drawings using the example of a preferred embodiment.

Wie sich aus Fig. 1 ergibt, besteht eine Richtbank, bei welcher das Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil gemäß der Erfindung verwendet werden kann, aus einem aus zwei Profilschienen 1 und querverlaufenden Profilstücken 2 aufgebauten Rahmen, der an der Oberseite mit Löchern zur Festlegung der Träger 3 versehen ist.As can be seen from FIG. 1, a straightening bench, in which the terminal straightening angle set part according to the invention can be used, consists of a frame made up of two profile rails 1 and transverse profile pieces 2, which are provided on the top with holes for fixing the beams 3 is.

Auf dem Rahmen sind von vorne nach hinten mehrere Elemente eines Richtwinkelsatzes im Maßstab des erforderlichen Rastermaßes auf den Quer- und Längsträgern angeordnet. Die Formgebung der mechanischen Teile ist den zu kontrollierenden Punkten der jeweiligen Karosserie angepaßt.On the frame, several elements of a set of straightening angles are arranged on the cross members and side members in the scale of the required grid dimension from front to back. The shape of the mechanical parts is adapted to the points of the body to be checked.

Es kann vorkommen, daß an einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie nahe beieinander liegende Punkte zu überprüfen sind, wobei aber zwei Träger einer Multi-Z-Aufnahme platzmäßig nicht angebracht werden können.It may happen that points close to each other on a motor vehicle body have to be checked, but two carriers of a Multi-Z holder cannot be attached in terms of space.

Um diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden, kann in beliebige Träger 3 der Richtbank ein Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil eingesetzt, wie es in den Fig. 2 bis 5 beschrieben ist.In order to avoid this disadvantage, a terminal straightening angle set part can be inserted into any support 3 of the straightening bench, as is described in FIGS. 2 to 5.

Dieses Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil besteht im wesentlichen aus einem als Element 4 eines Richtwinkelsatzes dienenden Arm 5, der an einem äußeren Ende eine senkrecht verlaufende Bohrung 6 aufweist. Am anderen Ende ist der Arm 5 mit einer zylindrischen Säule 7 versehen, die zwei Querbohrungen 8 und 9 aufweist.This terminal straightening bracket set essentially consists of an arm 5 serving as element 4 of a straightening bracket set, which has a vertically running bore 6 at an outer end. At the other end, the arm 5 is provided with a cylindrical column 7 which has two transverse bores 8 and 9.

Auf der Säule 7 ist ein zweites Element 10 mit einer Muffe 10' mit einer Querbohrung 11 und einem zweiten Arm 12 aufgesteckt, der am äußeren Ende ein nach oben verlaufendes T-Stück 13 aufweist, dessen Querbalken 15 den ersten Arm 5 überragt.On the column 7 is a second element 10 with a sleeve 10 'with a transverse bore 11 and a second Arm 12 plugged on, which has an upwardly extending T-piece 13 at the outer end, the crossbar 15 projects beyond the first arm 5.

Der zweite Arm 12 ist mittels eines Steckers 14, der durch die Querbohrung 11 in der Muffe und durch das eine Loch 8 in der Säule 7 verläuft, festlegbar.The second arm 12 can be fixed by means of a plug 14 which runs through the transverse bore 11 in the sleeve and through the one hole 8 in the column 7.

Die zweite Querbohrung 9 in der Säule 7 dient zur Festlegung des gesamten Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteiles an einem Träger 3 mittels eines zweiten Steckers 16, der durch die entsprechenden Öffnungen gesteckt wird.The second transverse bore 9 in the column 7 serves to fix the entire terminal straightening angle set part on a carrier 3 by means of a second plug 16 which is inserted through the corresponding openings.

Wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 5 ergibt, verläuft der Querbalken 15 quer zur Achse 17 des zweiten Elementes. Er weist ferner an den äußeren Enden zwei Bohrungen 18 zum Durchtritt der Festlegungsbolzen auf.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, the crossbar 15 extends transversely to the axis 17 of the second element. It also has two bores 18 at the outer ends for the passage of the fixing bolts.

Mit dem Terminal-Richtwinkelsatzteil gemäß der Erfindung wird der wesentliche Vorteil erreicht, daß nahe beieinander liegende Punkte an Kraftfahrzeugkarosserien in einfacher Weise überprüft werden können, was mit den bisherigen einzelnen Multi-Z-Aufnahmen infolge des beanspruchten Platzes nicht möglich war.With the terminal straightening angle set part according to the invention the main advantage is achieved that points close to each other on motor vehicle bodies can be checked in a simple manner, which was not possible with the previous individual Multi-Z recordings due to the space required.

Die Ausbildung des oberen Teiles der beiden Elemente 4 udn 10 kann beliebig sein. So können insbesondere die Kontrollaufnahmen, die fahrzeugabhängig sind, ein oder mehrere Löcher mit entsprechenden Steckbolzen aufweisen.The design of the upper part of the two elements 4 and 10 can be any. In particular, the control receptacles, which are vehicle-dependent, can have one or more holes with corresponding plug pins.
