Abstract
A universal targeting stand for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) comprises a central support structure, a target plate selectively connected to the central support structure and a target image attached to the target plate. Selective connection to the target plate allows a common calibration stand to be used for different vehicles even where different targets are required.
Claims23
A universal targeting stand for an advanced driver assistance system, comprising:
- a central support structure;
- a target plate selectively connected to the central support;
- and
- a target image removably magnetically attached to the target plate, wherein
- the target image is made on a magnetic material to attach to a magnetic receptive side of the target plate;
- and
- an entire major surface of the target image is supported by and in contact with the target plate.
A universal targeting stand for an advanced driver assistance system, comprising:
- a central support structure;
- a target plate selectively connected to the central support;
- and
- a target image removably magnetically attached to the target plate;
- a pair of removable arms extending laterally away from the central support structure;
- and
- a pair of lateral target plates, each of said pair of lateral target plates being attached to a respective one of said lateral arms;
- wherein
- the target image is made on a magnetic material to attach to a magnetic receptive side of the target plate;
- an entire major surface of the target image is supported by and in contact with the target plate.
A universal targeting stand for an advanced driver assistance system, comprising:
- a central support structure;
- a base for the central support structure, wherein the base comprises one of:
- a) three legs, the three legs forming a tripod to support the central support structure;
- and
- b) a wheeled base, said wheeled base comprising at least two substantially parallel bars, with wheels attached to said bars, and structure to connect said substantially parallel bars to said central support structure;
- and
- a target plate selectively connected to the central support;
- a mechanism to allow a user to level the target plate;
- and
- a target image removably magnetically attached to the target plate, wherein
- the target image is made on a magnetic material to attach to a magnetic receptive side of the target plate;
- and
- an entire major surface of the target image is supported by and in contact with the target plate.
A universal targeting stand for an advanced driver assistance system, comprising:
- a central support structure;
- a target plate selectively connected to the central support structure;
- a target image comprising a target printed on a side of a flexible vinyl sheet removably attachable to the target plate;
- a pair of removable arms extending laterally away from the central support structure;
- a pair of lateral target plates, each of said pair of lateral target plates being attached to a respective one of said lateral arms;
- a locking mechanism to secure the target plate in position relative to the central support structure;
- and
- a leveling bubble to allow a user to level the target plate;
- wherein
- the target image is made on a magnetic material to attach to a magnetic receptive side of the target plate;
- an entire major surface of the target image is supported by and in contact with the target plate;
- and
- each of the target plate and the lateral target plates are rotatably connected to the central support structure by a respective connecting mechanism.
