2. Description of the Related Art In general, when a vehicle body is depressed at a front portion or a rear portion in an automobile accident, the vehicle is fixed by pulling out the depressed portion by a traction device called an upper correction device. In such correction work, a vehicle body dimension drawing prepared by each car manufacturer for each vehicle type and body is referred to in advance, and the specified dimension length between each point of the vehicle body described in the body dimension drawing corresponding to the accident vehicle concerned is obtained. The operator has to adjust the traction direction and the traction force by the traction device.

By the way, the applicant has previously proposed a measuring tool for repair work which is optimized in such repair work (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-24558).
issue). According to this measuring tool, it is possible to support the measuring device at a certain point on the vehicle body and to support the tip of the measure pulled out from the measuring device at another point on the vehicle body, and the length between the two points is defined. Since the correction can be performed while visually observing the dimension length of the measure so that the dimension length becomes the same, the correction operation is dramatically improved as compared with the related art.

In such a correction work, a normal vehicle body size diagram shows a dimension length between a point existing at a center position in the width direction of the vehicle body and a certain point of the vehicle body extending from the point. For example, in the vehicle body size diagram shown in FIG. 2, points D and F relate to those located at the center position in the width direction of the vehicle body, and for example, point D is a point indicating the center position of the cowl top panel. However, actually, special marking is not particularly performed on the car at such a center position, and the operator roughly calculates the center position by calculation and sets the point D and the like. Of course, some vehicles have a center mark called a center mark, but some are usually displayed in hard to see parts. I was

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional inconveniences, and it is an object of the present invention to more easily measure a center position in a vehicle width direction required for a repair work.
