FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of one of the anchor hook inventions.
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of two of the anchor hook inventions being employed with a pair of anchor hooks chains attached thereto for straightening a frame.
Briefly stated, the invention comprises an anchor hook invention having an L-shaped hook mounted to the top thereof for hooking into a bore in a frame, the hook device has a socket like construction at its lower end for receiving an end of telescoping power jack and a slot in the socket for alternatively receiving a link of an anchoring chain whereby the anchor hook may be employed in pairs by being hooked into bores in the frame on opposite sides of the area of the frame to be straightened and either a power jack may be placed with its ends in the socket of the anchor hook devices and telescoping for straightening the frame by spreading the anchor hooks apart, or anchoring chains may be hook into the slots of the hook devices and one of the anchor chains secured and the other chain pulled away to the opposite direction to spread the anchor hooks apart for straightening the frame.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the anchor hook invention is illustrated. In FIG. 1 a pair of anchoring hook inventions 20 are illustrated mounted at locations 21 and 21 on a frame 22. The frame 22 is a conventional automobile frame which has been bent out of place at locations 23.
The anchor hook invention 20 has an L-shaped rod or hook member 24 and a socket portion 25. The socket portion 25 has a top plate 26 with one leg 24' of the L-shaped rod welded at its end to the top plate 26. An inclined plate portion 27 inclines rearwardly and downwardly from the top plate portion and has a reversely curved lower end portion 28. An elongated slot 29 extends centrally along the reversely curved lower end portion 28 and upwardly into the inclined plate portion 27 and terminates at the lateral edge 30. The lower end 31 of the slot is open at the forward edge 32 and 32' of the reversely curved portion 28 to provide access into the slot 29. A pair of side plates 33 and 33' are welded to the side edges 26 and 26" of the top plate 27' and 27 of the inclined plate portion and 28 and 28" of the reversely curved lower end portion.
The L-shaped rod has its one leg 24 extending perpendicularly upward and its other leg 24" extending horizontally forward at a slight downwardly inclined angle in relation to the leg 24'.
OPERATION The anchor hook invention 20 operates as follows:
Assume for purposes of illustration that the anchor hook invention is being employed with a conventional telescoping power jack 34, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The operator will drill a pair of holes 35 in the frame on opposite sides of the bent portion 23 of the frame 22. The holes 35 will be of a size as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. Whereupon the operator will insert the lateral leg 24" of the L-shaped rod into the bore 35 in the frame 22 and pivot the anchor hook up until the top surface 26 of the top plate abutts theunder surface 22 of the frame and the forward end of the leg 24 abutts the inner surface 22" of the frame with the leg 24 being bent downward slightly at an angle toward the inner surface 22 of the frame, in relation to leg 24' and the top plate 26, so as to lock the anchor hook its portion shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 when either the telescoping jacks or the anchor chain apply pressure to the anchoring device 20.
Once the anchor hooks 20 have been inserted into the bores 35 in the frame, the telescoping jack 34 will be installed as illustrated in FIG. 1 with one end 34 of the jack in the socket area or trough of socket member 25: 36 of the anchor hook invention 20 and the other end 34" of the jack in the socket area or trough 36 of the other anchor hook invention 20. The one end 34" of the jack will be telescoped outward relative to the sleeve portion 37 of the jack and the other end 34' of the jack causing the anchor hook 20 to spread apart, thereby spreading the rear 38 and 39 of the frame 22 apart until the bent areas 23 of the frame are straightened out to their original position.
Whereupon, the operator will retract the leg 34" of the jack hooks into the sleeve 37 a sufficient distance to enable the ends 34' and 34" of the jack to be removed from the sockets in the anchor hooks 20, and the anchor hooks 20will be removed from the bores 35 in the frame by pivoting and sliding the legs 24" of the rods 24 of the anchor hooks 20 out of the bores 35 in the frame 22.
When the operator employs the anchor hook invention 20 with link anchor chains 39 and 40 as illustrated in FIG. 6, the operation will be as follows:
Bores 35 will be drilled into the frame 22 at location 42 and 41 on opposite sides of the bent area 23, and the frame 22 will be placed on a block 43 at location 44 on the frame.
The anchor hook invention 20 will be hooked into the frame 22 at locations 41 and 42, with the anchor 20 at location 41 being hooked into a bore 35 of the bottom of the frame, and another anchor hooked at location 42 being hooked into a bore 35 in the vertical side of the frame, at location 42 in the same manner as already described. The anchor hook device 20 at location 42 will have its open bottom 45 facing horizontally outward, as illustrated in FIG. 6. Whereas the anchor hook device 20 at location 41 will have its open bottom 45 facing downward as also illustrated in FIG. 6.
Once the anchor hooks have been attached to the frame the operator will attach an upper link 39' into the socket of the anchor chain 39 by sliding the next adjacent and lower link 39" endwise into the slot 29 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the upper link 39 will extend crosswise across the slot 29 and abut against the inner surface in the socket 36 of the anchor device to lock the anchor chain 39 to the anchor hook 20 at location 41. The lower end 39 chain is firmly fixed to a cement floor 46 by a pin 47.
Similarly the upper link 40' of the chain 40 will be received in the socket 36 of the anchor device 20 at location 42 by sliding the next adjacent lower link 40" endwise into the slot 29, and the upper link will extend across the slot 29 and abut the inner surface in the socket 36 of the anchor device 20 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 6 to lock the anchor chain 40 to the anchor hook 20 at location 42. The chain 40 will extend outward away from the anchor device 20 and will be attached to the telescoping rod 49 of a power jack 50.
The jack 50 has a sleeve 51 for the rod 49 to telescope hydraulically inward and outward. The sleeve 51 will be fixed to an upright post 52 and the post 52 will be fixed to the cement floor 46. Whereupon the operator will retract the rod 49 into the sleeve 51 hydraulically causing the chain 40 to move in the direction of the arrow 53 and pull the anchor device 20 at the location 42 in the same direction thereby pullying the area of the frame 22 at location 42 in the same direction.
Since the other chain 39 is fixed to the cement floor it will restrain the anchoring device at location 41 and prevent it and the frame at location 41 from moving. Thus causing the anchoring devices 20 at locations 41 and 42 to spread apart, thus spreading the frame 22 at location 41 and 42 apart and causing the bent area 23 of the frame 22 to be straightened out.
When the rod 49 has been retracted sufficiently to straightened out the frame. The operator will then telescope the rod 29 back out of the sleeve 51 a sufficient distance to enable the chairs 39 and 40 to be detached from the anchor hook 20 at location 41 and 42 by sliding the links 39" and 40" out of the slots 29 in the anchoring devices 20.
The anchoring devices 20 may be used in a variety of similar ways with either the power jack or anchor chains to straighten frames as just described at various locations on the frames. In some instances bore 35 already exist in the automobile frame 22 which may be employed without the necessity of specially drilling the hole.
Thus it will be seen that a novel anchoring invention has been provided for easily and quickly straightening automobile frames.
It will be obvious that various changes and departures may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited to that specifically described in the specification or as illustrated in the drawing but only as set forth in the appended claims wherein:
