摘要： Devices for straightening portions of a vehicle, particularly the unibody and/or frame of a vehicle following a collision. A device comprising a clamp which is attachable to a pulling device which exerts a pulling force in a direction P. The clamp comprises jaws which open in the general direction of pulling force P to engage a flange or other portion of a vehicle extending away from the direction of the pulling force P. This aspect is particularly useful for repairing the wheelhouse of a vehicle. Another aspect is a clamp with two openings, preferably in a single set of jaws. One opening may, for example, open proximally, i.e., in the general direction of pulling force P, while the other opening may open in a direction away from pulling force P. Another aspect of the present invention comprises providing a plurality of clamps in a single pulling device wherein the clamps are connectable, via a chain, to a single pulling arm, and where the clamps are independently positionable relative to each other. For example, the clamps can be rotated, twisted, extended and/or retracted independently of each other for connection to portions of a vehicle all of which can then be pulled in a single pulling step. Another aspect comprises a device having a plurality of clamps which allow portions of a vehicle to be pulled sequentially during a single pulling operation.

摘要： A device for straightening a vehicle panel comprising a base which is attachable to a pulling device and at least three fingers pivotally connected to the base and movable from a retracted position designed for insertion into a drilled hole in a damaged panel. The fingers are movable to an extended position wherein a gripping portion extends generally perpendicular to the longitudinal pulling force. Another aspect comprises providing the gripping portion of at least one of the fingers with a substantially flat pulling surface in order to maximize the contact area between the finger and the damaged vehicle panel.

摘要： A device for repairing a damaged vehicle includes a generally V-shaped base having a first substantially horizontal elongated member and a second substantially horizontal elongated member which are fixedly attachable to each other at an angle less than 90 degrees. At least a pair of slidably attachable clamps on the first member attach to two locations of a vehicle, and preferably to two pinch weld locations of a unibody. A slidably attachable clamp on the second member attaches to a third location on the vehicle, and preferably to a pinch weld location on a unibody. In one embodiment, the first member and the second member are pivotally attached to one another for varying the angle therebetween.
