4 Claims. (01. s -15) This invention relates generally to the class 0 T I tools and pertains particularly to improvements in tools for use by automobile body repairers for straightening or restoring the body part to its .original condition.
' i A principal object of the present invention to provide a novel tool designed for use in straightening dented or mashed drip moldings of automobile bodies, the tool'being particularly designed to be used in association with a force applying tool and more especially a pneumatic hammer head of the type illustrated in my issued Patents Nos. 2,148,619 and 2,148,943, both issued February 28, 1939.
Another object .of the invention is to provide a repair or straightening tool for restoring bent or mashed drip moldings to their former condition, which is constructed to be easily and quicklyapplied to the moldings and which is provided 'with an anvil or driving element to which a driv- .ing force may be readily applied whereby to effect the movement of the straightening tool along the molding. Another object of the invention is to provide ,a drip molding straightening tool of the character stated which is designed with coacting parts for engaging the inner and outer surfaces of the molding and which parts are so constructed that, as a driving force is applied to the tool to move it in one direction lengthwise of the molding, the molding will be forcibly reshaped and restored to its former contour.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the description of the same proceeds and th invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification, with the understanding, however, that the invention is not confined to a strict conformit with the showing of the drawings but may be changed or modified so long assuch changes or modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of one embodiment of the present invention, constructed in the form of a plier and illustrating, in broken lines, the manner in which a pneumatic hammer may be employed for working the tool along a molding.
Figure 2 is a view in elevation of the face of the tool, looking at the engaged jaws.
Figure 3 is a view of the side of the tool head opposite from the driving rod or anvil.
Figure 4 is a detail section illustrating one method of coupling the handles of the tool together.
Figure 5 is a view partly in elevation and partly insection .of another embodiment of the drip molding straightener.
1 Figure 6 is a view 'in'perspective of the second embodiment, V I Referring now more particularly to the embodiment ofthe invention illustrated in Figures 1 to. 4 inclusive it will be seen that the tool comprises two coacting jaw members HI and H. One "of the jaw members, here designated [0, has formed integral therewith the relatively long substantially straight handle or arm l2 which is provided atits free end with the slot I3. The head 10 has a rectangular opening or slot l4 'therethrough which is in a plane perpendicular to the width of the head.
The'jaw head I! has the upwardly curvin shank portion which passes through the slot l4 and which merges with the relatively long straight handle 16 which, when the jaws are closed, extends substantially parallel to the handle l2. This handle It also has, in its free end, the slotor opening l1.
A pivot pin I8 passes through the head It] and through the Shank'portion I5 of'the head II so that these two heads work together as cooperating jaws.
As'shown in Figure '3 the forward face of the lower jaw II is undercut or cut back as indicated 'at lfl and extending across the forward "face of the jaw H at the top of the undercut jwall I9 is the channel or gutter 20 which, at one end, is rounded as indicated at 2|. This rounded f'end edge of the gutter 20 is at the end of the gutter which opens through the side of the tool which is the advancing side when the tool is in use. It will also be noted that the gutter opens ,upwardly in a direction extending substantially in a plane parallel withthe undercut forward face l9 and the outer side of the gutter merges with the upper part of the wall l9 forming the relatively sharp lip 22.
The top jaw or head III has formed integral with molding upon which the tool is to be used. The
end of this shaping rib 23 which advances in the use of the tool, is rounded as indicated at 24 for coactionwith the rounded edge 2| of the gutter.
gThus when'the tool is in position and is forcibly advancedalongthe dripmolding the deformities of the molding will beforced smoothly between these roundededges and between the coacting .rib and thegutter surfaces so as to smooth and straighten themolding to restore it to its original form.
. At the rear or trailing side of the tool head oneof thej'aw members, here shown as the. upper 5 and a right angularly extending end portion, one of said jaws being secured to the back portion, the other jaw being slidably positioned against the back portion between the fixed jaw and the said right angularly extending portion, a screw threaded through said right angularly extending portion and having an end swivelly coupled with the said other jaw, means for rotating the screw, said screw when rotated functioning to move the said other jaw relative to the fixed jaw to bring the dies into or out of working relation, and
means carried by an end of one of the jaws for facilitating the application of driving blows to the said one of the jaws to cause the jaws to move longitudinally of a molding engaged between the dies, the last named means comprising a relatively long anvil rod secured to the said one of the jaws to extend therefrom longtudinal- 1y with respect to the dies.
