Abstract
Abstract In apparatus for repairing the damaged body of an automobile there is provided an elongated bar that supports a carriage assembly which is movable relative to the damaged body of the vehicle. The elongated bar further supports a rod that is adapted to receive a tool for working on the body of the vehicle. The rod is movable about three mutually perpendicular axes in addition to being longitudinally displaceable by the carriage assembly with respect to the automobile body. Further, a portion of the rod is telescoped and hinged in order to provide additonal flexibility.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
Apparatus for repairing the damaged body of a vehicle such as an automobile or the like, said apparatus comprising, in combination: a. a carriage assembly connected to an elongated bar b. means for supporting said carriage assembly and said bar for movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said bar; c. at least one sleeve mounted on said bar for rotation about the longitudinal axis thereof; d. a plate assembly rigily secured to said sleeve, said plate assembly being rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of said bar; e. a rod assembly having a first end pivotly mounted on said plate assembly for angular displacement about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the rOtational axes of said bar and said plate assembly, the second end of said rod assembly being adapted to receive a tool for repairing the body of the vehicle; and f. means for angularly displacing said rod assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Apparatus for repairing the damaged body of a vehicle such as an automobile or the like, said apparatus comprising, in combination: a. a carriage assembly connected to an elongated bar b. means for supporting said carriage assembly and said bar for movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said bar; c. at least one sleeve mounted on said bar for rotation about the longitudinal axis thereof; d. a plate assembly rigily secured to said sleeve, said plate assembly being rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of said bar; e. a rod assembly having a first end pivotly mounted on said plate assembly for angular displacement about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the rOtational axes of said bar and said plate assembly, the second end of said rod assembly being adapted to receive a tool for repairing the body of the vehicle; and f. means for angularly displacing said rod assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
123 words
The apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein at least the second end portion of said rod assembly is hollow and is defined by a telescoping section that is substantially L-shaped, a first leg of said telescoping section being received in said hollow second end portion of said rod assembly, the second leg of said L-shaped section being defined by two telescoping portions a first one of which is pivotly secured to said first leg of said L-shaped telescoping section for angular displacement about an axis that is substantially parallel to the pivotal axis of said first end of said rod assembly and means for angularly displacing said second leg of said L-shaped second end portion with respect to said first leg thereof.
