  • Patent number: 4916793
    Abstract: An anchor assembly for use in straightening unibody frame rails comprises a weld plate having at least one internally threaded sleeve projecting from a face of the weld plate. The sleeve is arranged to project into an anchor hole drilled in a metal unibody frame rail to be straightened. The face of the weld plate contacts a side wall of the frame rail in which the anchor hole is drilled so the weld plate can be permanently welded to the side wall of the frame rail with the internally threaded sleeve reinforcing the anchor hole. An anchor plate is releasably fastened to the weld plate on the frame rail. An anchoring bolt extends through an anchor hole in the anchor plate and is threaded into the reinforcing sleeve of the weld plate for releasably fastening the anchor plate to the weld plate.
