CORRECTION CLAMP

The invention relates to a straightening bracket and, in particular, a straightening bracket for rectifying a vehicle or the like, which comprises a bracket body on which the drawbar or other straightening member is arranged to be fastened and jaws attached to the bracket body for releasably fastening the bracket to the vehicle or the like.

10 Alignment of vehicles or similar equipment shall be carried out by means of clamping devices which shall be attached to a suitable point in the vehicle or other device. Such straightening fasteners generally have jaws which are pressed to the desired position. The fasteners frame, in turn, is fitted with a suitable drive member and is moved in the appropriate direction to correct a portion of the object. It is known to use a draw bar which can be rotated in different directions.

The prior art straightening fasteners have one or more jaw members permanently mounted on their body. Adjustment brackets with two or more jaw parts provide a longer distance to the vehicle body or other object than one ... adjustment bracket.

I 25 ·; ; The problem with existing straightening fasteners is' · that doorways and other structures with angles ». effective straightening is difficult. Such an opening structure; '·· At different stages of the straightening work, it is necessary to fasten::: 30 several fastening holes, each with its own drive element.

It is an object of the invention to provide a straightening fastener which eliminates the drawbacks associated with existing straightening fasteners. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide: a straightening fastener having jaw portions that are adjustable and lockable at different angles independently of the straightening fastener body.

The object of the invention is achieved by a straightening fastener which is characterized by what is stated in the claims.

5

According to the invention, the jaw members are pivotally attached to the fastener body. They are then rotated at a suitable angle to the fixture body and the object to be corrected. The jaw members provide a good and permanent grip on the vehicle's various positions, they can be pivoted independently and locked at a desired angle independently.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the jaw members are fixed by articulation close to the ends of the fastener body by means of fastening members. This allows them to be rotated to different positions independently of the mounting frame.

In another further embodiment of the invention, the clamping frame extends between the clamping jaws of the jaw portions, the clamping jaws 20 being arranged to clamp when locked against the clamping frame. Thus, a permanent and firm locking is achieved and the position of the jaws cannot be changed during the straightening operation.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastener body is a plate-like member. Such a plate-like body is simple: in structure, but very suitable for this purpose.

•! ' Preferably, the fixation body of the rectifier fastener according to the invention has shoulders against which the jaw members rest when turned to their extreme position. Such shoulders provide additional support on which the jaw members can rest.

In one embodiment of the straightening fastener of the invention, the drawbar is pivotally attached to the fastener body.

35 This allows the drawbar to be oriented in the desired direction and ·: · * ': the device functions properly.

In addition, in one embodiment, the drive means comprises a shaft mounted on a clamping body which is pivotally mounted on the clamping body by a locking member. The drawbar is also pivotally mounted on the shaft. Thus, the drawbar 5 can be rotated in a very versatile manner in different directions and the draw is made exactly in the desired direction.

Next, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an adjusting bracket according to the invention obliquely viewed from below, Fig. 2 shows a rectifying bracket according to Fig. 1 with a shaft and a drawbar 1, which is used for various straightening tasks.

In the embodiment shown in the figures, the straightening bracket comprises a clamping body 1 and jaw members 3, 4 attached thereto. The clamping body 1 is a plate-like part. The jaw members are secured by pivoting 20 near the ends of the fastening body 1 by means of fastening pins 5 acting as fastening means, which are located in the thighs of the fastening body. In known manner, the jaw members 3, 4 comprise two separate clamping jaws which, by means of clamping means, such as clamping bolts 14, can be clamped against each other.

The clamping body 1 is designed such that the plate-like body, at least partially extends between the jaws of the jaw portions 3, 4. When clamping the clamps, the clamps clamp: In addition to the vehicle or other part of the device, the clamping jaws are clamped so that they cannot pivot in a different position during work.

In the center of the clamping body there is a hole 9. In this embodiment 9, a shaft 7 is fastened by means of a fastening bolt 8 to the applications 9 in Figs. 2-5 and 7, in turn the shaft 7 is fixed. can be swiveled to the fastener body 1, that is, it can be fastened and locked at different angles thereto. In addition, the drawbar 2 is attached to the shaft 7 so that it can be rotated 180 ° with respect to the shaft and the mounting frame.

5

The clamping body 1 is spaced from the ends of the body by means of the lugs 6 which are projections formed on the surface of the body. The shoulders 6 limit the rotation of the jaw portions such that in this embodiment, the minimum angle between the jaw portions is 90s, 10 as shown in Figure 2. This smaller angle is not required in this straightening work. In another application, there are no shoulders, and the jaw members can even be turned parallel to each other.

In the embodiment according to the Figures, the jaw part 3 at the other end of the fastener body 1 is pivotally attached by means of a clamping bolt 14. The shaft 7 can be fastened to the end of the junction member in a known manner, e.g. The straightening clamp can then be pulled straight 20 along its length.

Figures 3-7 illustrate the attachment of a straightening bracket to different positions of the vehicle 11 so that it can be pulled ,,. in the desired direction. To fasten, place both jaws at the desired locations on the structure and tighten the clamping bolts to lock the straightener into the desired position. It is also possible to insert and [| *] the second jaw portion first and then: fit and secure the second jaw portion to a suitable location.

In Figures 3, 6 and 7 the straightening bracket is attached to the vehicle such that the jaw members are aligned in a row to provide a firm grip on the object to be corrected. In the drawings t * k 4 and 5, the straightening bracket is fixed to the opening or door opening of the vehicle 11 - 11 35 of the vehicle so that the straightening brackets are pivoted on different sides of the opening. Also in this case, the draw V, can be directed in the best possible way to a particular 1> ·

In Figures 3 to 5, the shaft 7 is secured by a locking pin from a hole in its base to a straightening bracket. In the embodiment of Figure 7, the shaft 7 is secured from a hole in its side to a straightening bracket. In the embodiment of Figure 6, the shaft is secured to the coupling member at the end of the mounting body by means of a hole in its side.

The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments shown, but may vary within the scope of the inventive idea of the claims.
