2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, a vehicular fixing aid of this type is formed in an inverted U-shape on the upper surface of a rectangular plate-like substrate 101 and has a wedge insertion portion 102 for inserting a wedge.
Is formed by erecting a shaft portion 103 having on the other hand,
As shown in FIG. 9, a jack for supporting and fixing the accident vehicle has a box-shaped underframe 106 provided on the upper surface of a rectangular bottom plate 105, and a pair of clamps 107, 107 attached to one side of the underframe 106. 108 are integrally fixed. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIGS.
In order to fix the jack 104 for supporting and fixing the accident vehicle A on the upper surface, the jack 104 is disposed in parallel with the rail groove 109 provided on the upper surface of the vehicle fixing device 100 so as to straddle the bottom plate 105 of the jack 104. Then, the substrate 101 is inserted into the sliding gutter 110 below the rail groove 109, and the fixing auxiliary tools B are respectively positioned on both sides of the jack 104.
Further, in this state, the jack 104 is fixed by driving the wedge 111 into each of the wedge insertion portions 102 and sandwiching the upper surfaces on both side ends of the bottom plate 105 between the wedge 111 and the upper surface of the vehicle fixing device 100.

[0003]

By the way, when the side a of the body of the accident vehicle is depressed in a U-shape, the jack 10
12 must be fixed obliquely to the rail groove 109 as shown in FIG. 12, but the substrate 101 of the fixing aid B has a width substantially the same as the width of the sliding gutter 110 and a shaft 103
Is formed of a flat plate wider than the groove width of the rail groove 109 and cannot be rotated. As a result, the wedge 111 only slightly hangs on the upper surface of the bottom plate 105.
There was a risk that the 11 would come off the upper surface of the bottom plate 105. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle correction aid capable of firmly fixing a jack or the like irrespective of the orientation of a jack bottom plate or the like by enabling a vehicle fixing device to rotate horizontally in a sliding groove. Is what you do.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a fixing auxiliary tool for correcting a vehicle according to the present invention has a size that allows a substrate to freely rotate in a horizontal direction in a sliding groove of a vehicle fixing device. Also, since the shaft portion is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter that can be fitted into the rail groove, even if the bottom plate of the jack is arranged obliquely with respect to the rail groove, the fixing aid is free in the horizontal direction. , And can be fixed in a conventional manner following the direction.
