MECHANICAL COMPARING DEVICE FOR BODY SHOPS

摘要

The portable mechanical comparing device (100) is suitable for being mounted onto a damaged vehicle (V) for checking parts of bodywork of a first side of the vehicle (V) with respect to corresponding parts of the second side of the vehicle (V), and comprises a fastening group (110) to the vehicle (V), a reference structure (130) and a comparing group (150); in the reference structure (130) a reference axis (AR) is defined; the comparing group (150) is such as to allow detecting the position with respect to the reference axis (AR) of a point on the first side of the vehicle (V) and comparing it with the position of a corresponding point on the second side of the vehicle (V). The fastening group (110) comprises two main arms (111) of equal length, with respective first ends (112) hinged to the reference structure (130) according to first pivot axes (A1) in symmetrical positions with respect to the reference axis (AR), and second ends (113) provided with fastening means (114, 115) to the vehicle (V) at safe points thereof, symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis (AV) of the vehicle (V), so that the reference axis (AR) is at the longitudinal axis (AV) of the vehicle (V). The fastening group (110), with the two equal main arms (111), facilitates the correct positioning of the device (100) on the vehicle (V), so that the reference structure (130) is definitely in an axial position with respect to the vehicle (V).
