  • Patent number: 10173873
    Abstract: Provided is a lift point alignment device (30) including a mirror body (40) detachably attached to a vehicle body holding tool (20), the mirror body (40) including a mirror surface (42) facing upward while the mirror body (40) is attached to the vehicle body holding tool (20), and a light source (50) provided in the mirror body (40) to project light in a vertical direction toward a lower part of a vehicle (1) from the mirror surface (42) of the mirror body (40) attached to the vehicle body holding tool (20), wherein an alignment state of the vehicle body holding tool (20) with respect to lift points (2) of the vehicle (1) is allowed to be recognized based on a match state between an image of the light source (50) and an image of the lift points (2) of the vehicle (1) reflected in the mirror surface (42) of the mirror body (40) observed from a side of the vehicle.
