Abstract:
A system for aligning a vehicle on a vehicle transporting surface comprising:a vehicle having left and right means for support separated by a distance;a vehicle transporting surface having left and right opposing sides, the vehicle being supported by the vehicle transporting surface;a left and a right angulated surface extending upward from the vehicle transporting surface at an angle other than orthogonal to the vehicle transporting surface, a bottom of the left angulated surface being separated from a bottom of the right angulated surface by a distance that is approximately equal to the distance between the left and the right means for support;the left angulated surface having:left flat surface extending horizontally from the left angulated surface for resting flush on the vehicle transporting surface while allowing the left angulated surface to extend from the vehicle transporting surface at an angle other than orthogonal to the vehicle transporting surface;left bracing member extending downward from the left flat surface at an edge thereof opposite the left angulated surface;the right angulated surface having:right flat surface extending horizontally from the right angulated surface for resting flush on the vehicle transporting surface while allowing the right angulated surface to extend from the vehicle transporting surface at an angle other than orthogonal to the vehicle transporting surface;right bracing member extending downward from the right flat surface at an edge thereof opposite the right angulated surface;wherein the left angulated surface forcing the vehicle towards the left side of the vehicle transporting surface when the left means for support is in contact therewith, and the right angulated surface forcing the vehicle towards the right side of the vehicle transporting surface when the right means for support is in contact therewith.
