Application July 20, 1956, Serial No. 599,143
1 Claim. (Cl. 81-45) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in automobile body and fender tools and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, novel means for expeditiously pulling dents out of vehicle bodiesv and fenders after the metal has been ironed out with a hammer and dollie.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a tool of the aforementioned character which will enable the operator or mechanic to remove dents located in difiicult or ordinarily inaccessible places.
Other objects of the invention are to provide an automobile body and fender tool of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly elficient and reliable in use, compact, of light weight and which may be manufactured at low cost.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view principally in side elevation of an automobile body and fender tool constructed in accordance with the present invention; and,
Figure 2 is a detail view in front elevation of the free end portion of the pivotally mounted work-engaging guide.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a substantially U-shaped frame of suitable metal which is designated generally by reference character 3.
The frame 3, which may also be of any desired dimensions, comprises separable sections 4 and 5. The frame section 5 is provided, on one end, with a socket 6 for the reception of one end portion of the section 4. A setscrew 7 removably secures the section 4 of the frame 3 in the socket 6. The other end portion of the section 5 is bent outwardly, reversely and then inwardly in a manner to provide a handle 8. The other end portion of the frame section 4 is shaped or angulated, as at 9, and terminates in an inturned pick 10 which is engageable with one side of the work, as indicated at 11. Reference character 12 designates a dent to be removed from the work 11.
Mounted for swinging movement in the frame 3 toward and away from the pick 10 is a guide 13. The guide 13 includes a bifurcated end portion 14 which 2,835,155 Patented May 20, 1958 straddles the frame section 5 at an intermediate point and is pivotally secured thereto, as at 15. The guide 13 further includes an angularly extending, reduced free end portion 16 which is engageable with the opposite side of the work 11 and which has formed therein an opening 17 which is aligned with the pick 10 and through which the dent 12 may be observed. A coil spring 18 is connected to the guide 13 for yieldingly maintaining the free end portion 16 thereof in engagement with the work.
It is thought that the use of the tool will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the mechanic grips the handle 8 and the end portion 9 of the frame 3 is inserted behind the sheet or panel from which the dent is to be removed. As shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, the guide 13 is engaged with the outer or visible side of the panel and the opening 17 is aligned with the dent to be removed, as at 12, for aligning the pick 10 with said dent in an obvious mannet. The tool is then manipulated for pulling or rolling the dent out of the metal. The socket connection 6 permits frame sections 4 and picks 10 of various shapes and sizes to be mounted on the handle section 5, the only requirement being that the pick be substantially aligned with the opening 17 in the guide 13 when said pick and said guide are engaged with the opposite sides of the work.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
A body and fender tool comprising: a substantially U-shaped frame including separable sections, one of the sections comprising a socket on one end for the reception of one end portion of the other section, a setscrew threadedly mounted in the socket and engaged with said other section for detachably securing the frame sections together, an inturned pick on the free end of said other section engageable with the work on one side thereof, a handle on the free end of said one section, a swingable guide including a bifurcated end portion straddling said one frame section at an intermediate point and pivotally secured thereto, said guide further including an angularly extending free end portion engageable with the work on the other side thereof and having an opening therein aligned with the pick, and a coil spring having one end connected to said one frame section and its other end connected to the guide for yieldingly engaging same with the work.
