Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a contour transfer device which may be used to transfer contours such as those found on the bodies of automobiles so that a proper contour from one side may be transferred to an opposite side of the vehicle which has been damaged. The disclosure relating specifically to a pair of bars clamped together and with a row of finger receiving openings in which feeler and contour transfer fingers are slideably mounted laterally relative to the bars and wherein the bars are provided with frusto-conical openings in their adjacent sides in which O-rings are nested and frictionally engaged around the fingers and wherein clamp bolts clamp the bars together to compressively force the O-rings into frictional engagement with the feeler and contour transfer fingers so that the fingers may be held in a desired adjusted position.
