Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a repair table on which an automobile is placed when performing sheet metal repair on an automobile body that has been deformed due to a collision or the like.

[Prior art and its problems] It is common practice to place a car that has been deformed due to a collision on a repair stand and repair the body of the car on the repair stand.
At this time, a spanning board from the ground is provided on one side of the repair stand, and the vehicle is driven onto the spanning board and placed on the repair stand. For this reason, when a car is placed on a repair stand, it may not necessarily face straight ahead. In this case, in the past, there was no way to correct the horizontal movement of the car on the repair stand, so the only option was to put it back on the car or proceed with the repair work with the car facing diagonally. In the latter case, repair work was difficult to carry out, resulting in poor work efficiency in both cases.

[Object and Structure of the Invention] The present invention aims to provide an automobile repair stand that can correct the lateral movement of the automobile so that the automobile faces straight ahead on the mount, and in order to achieve this object, the present invention In this method, a plurality of movable plates are installed so that each wheel of the car is supported separately on a frame so that it can move back and forth in the width direction of the car, and either one of the wheels on the right side or the left side of the car is supported. The movable platen to be supported is provided with a screw shaft, a handle is attached to one end of the screw shaft, and the movable platen is moved by rotating the handle.

[Operation] The vehicle is guided on the mount so that each wheel of the vehicle is placed on each movable platen. At this time, if the car appears to be facing diagonally, the direction of the car can be corrected by turning the steering wheel.

[Example] 1 is a pedestal, 2R, 2R, 2L, 2L are the pedestals 1
A plurality of movable plates are provided at appropriate locations on the pedestal 1 in order to separately support the front, rear, left and right wheels when a car is placed thereon, each of the movable plates 2R, 2R, 2L, 2L.
are provided so as to be able to reciprocate freely in the width direction of the vehicle placed on the pedestal 1, respectively. That is, each of the movable plates 2R, 2R, 2L, and 2L is arranged within the frame of a rectangular frame 3 with an open top surface fixed on the pedestal 1, and supports the roll member 4 on its lower surface. It is configured to reciprocate within the rectangular frame 3 by rotation. Further, the screw shaft 5 is screwed in the moving direction into the movable plates 2L, 2L that support the wheels on one side of the automobile (the left side in this example), and the screw shaft 5 is supported on one side frame of the rectangular frame 3. A handle 6 is attached to its protruding end. Each of the rectangular frames 3 is fixed by inserting a locking pin 7 protruding from its lower surface into an engagement hole 8 protruding from the frame 1. An appropriate number of square frames 3 are provided in each direction, so that even vehicle models with different distances between front wheels and rear wheels can be accommodated by changing the fixing position of the rectangular frame body 3. Reference numeral 9 indicates a span plate provided on one side of the pedestal 1 for guiding the movement of the automobile on the pedestal 1.

However, in the repair stand constructed in this way, the automobile is guided through the spanning board 9 to the top of the mount 1, and each wheel of the automobile is connected to each movable platen 2R, 2R, 2
Make sure to ride on L and 2L. If the vehicle is oriented diagonally at this time, the handle 6 is rotated to move the movable platen 2L in the vehicle width direction. Then, the other movable platen 2R is simultaneously moved in the same direction by the load of the vehicle, so that the direction of the vehicle is corrected so that it faces straight ahead. If the vehicle is moved laterally too much, fine adjustments can be made by rotating the handlebar 6 in the opposite direction.

[Effects of the Invention] Even if the automobile is placed on a pedestal and is facing diagonally, the movement can be corrected to make it face straight ahead. Coupled with the fact that the direction of the vehicle can be finely adjusted by operating the steering wheel, the efficiency of sheet metal work for the vehicle is greatly improved.
