Description
April 21, 1931. .1. w. SMlTH FENDER RESHAPING TOOL Filed March 25, 1930 Patented Apr. 21, 1931 ETED STATES JOHN WILLIAM SMITH, F PITTSBURG, KANSAS FENDER-RESHAPING TOOL Application filed March 25, 1930. Serial No. 438,779.
This invention relates to an automotive tool which is expressly designed for reshaping fenders, that is, for removing dents and distorted and mis-shapen portions of the fender, such as may be caused from accident or otherwise.
The tool is primarily designed for use in a repair garage or a similar establishment but is susceptible of general utilitarian purposes and in carrying the invention into practice,
I have evolved and produced an appliance of this class which is characterized by simplicity and an arrangement of details which will enable the desired results to be accomplished in an effective and expeditious manner.
The specific features and their relative arrangement and association will become more readily apparent from the following description and drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side view of the complete tool as constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figures 2 and 8 are sectional views taken on the line 2-2 and 33 respectively of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is an elevational view of one of the details.
In the drawings, the reference characters 5 and 6 designate generally the complemental jaws. The upper jaw 6 embodies a body portion 7 formed with a laterally directed extremity 8 which is provided with a socket to accommodate the stem 9 of an element which may be conveniently denoted as a matrix 10. The shank 9 is fitted removably into the socket.
The numeral 11 designates a shank and 12 represents a lateral extension forming a joint element. The body portion 18 of the jaw 5 has its free end portion bifurcated. The furcation is designated by the numerals l4 and 15. These are disposed in diverging relationship and each furcation has its later ally directed extremit provided with an element 16 which may e distinguished as an anvil. There are two of these a-nvils and they are arranged in spaced parallelism for cooperation with the matrix 10. The anvils may be of slightly differing form according to the particular class of work to be performed.
The shank portion of this jaw 5 is indicated by the numeral 17 and the joint extension is indicated at 18 and this is formed with a fork 19 between which the element 12 is pivoted as at 20.
The numerals 21 and 22 designate the operating levers. These are of duplicate construction and each lever has pivotal connec- 6 tion with its respective shank 11 and 17. Each lever is also provided with a lug, the lug on the lever 21 being designated by the numeral 23 and the corresponding lug on the other handle being designated at 24. A link 25 affords pivotal connection between the lug 2d and the shank 11. A similar link 26 forms the connection between the lug 23 and the shank 17. This is a novel power leverage multiplying connection between the shanks and the respective levers permitting a relatively small movement of the levers to bring a powerful bending action upon the jaws 5 and 6.
he aws being pivoted to each other, and having linked and pivotal connection with the peculiarly formed levers provides a novel duplex power transmission means for the leverage which renders it sufliciently powerful for the purpose stated. The reader should observe that the anvils 16 may vary in shape, size and proportion. Likewise, I provide a multiplicity of readily detachable matrices for instance, one form be ing shown at 10 in Figure l and another form at 27 in Figure l. The shape of these matrices changes according to the particular character of dent or defect being worked upon.
The use and operation of the tool is obvious and will be better understood from actual use and experience. t is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unneccessary.
Minor changes in shape, size, and rearrangement of details coming within the field 'of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice if desired.
I clann:
A fender tool of the class described, comprising a pair of coinpleinental pivotally connected jaws, one jaw being provided with a pair of spaced parallel anvils, the other jaw being provided with an opposed removable matrix for cooperation with said anvils, both of said jaws having spaced parallel shank portions, a pair of operating levers pivotally connected to the respective shanks, each lever having a lug, said lugs being disposed in directions toward each other, a pair of links serving to connect sa-id lugs with the respective and remote shank Whereby to afford a power multiplying leverage between the levers and shank.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JOHN VILLIAM SMITH.
