Method for forming an attaching, rotational, self-alignment apparatus

Claim 1

Method for forming apparatus, for rotation about a vertical axis, for attaching accessories to a support surface of a repairing and straightening apparatus, for allowing rotational self-alignment of the accessories about the vertical axis, and for allowing the accessories to be substantially in line with the counterforce, with the support surface being of a finite thickness and including at least one regularly shaped aperture passing vertically through the support surface, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a thick wall tubing having a top, having a diameter substantially equal to but slightly less than the diameter of the support surface aperture, and having a height greater than the thickness of the support surface; (b) first cutting the thick wall tubing along a chord of the circular cross section of the thick wall tubing extending into the thick wall tubing from the top to a depth from the top of the thick wall tubing substantially equal to but slightly greater than the thickness of the support surface; (c) second cutting the thick wall tubing spaced from and parallel to the first cut and extending into the thick wall tubing from the top to a depth equal to the depth of the first cut; (d) third cutting the thick wall tubing intersecting with the first and second cuts at a depth from the top of the thick wall tubing substantially equal to but slightly greater than the thickness of the support surface; (e) removing the material located between the first and second cuts; (f) attaching together the remaining portions of the thick wall tubing into face to face contact along the first and second cuts; and (g) attaching the top of the thick wall tubing to the bottom surface of the accessory.
