Abstract:
A lifting device having an axle and a pair of wheels attached to the axle, a support element secured to the axle, a vertical element secured to the axle at an angle relative to the support element, and a handle secured to the distal end of the vertical element. In some embodiments, a safety arm is rotatably connected to the support element and the safety arm is moved from a closed position to an extended position, and vice versa, by simply rotating a handle grip which actuates a lever thereby moving a release pin from an engaged position to a dis-engaged position. The release pin secures the safety arm in the closed and extended positions. In further embodiments, a tooth is rotatably connected to the distal end of the support element and the tooth is biased inwards towards the lifting device by at least one spring.
Abstract:
A positioning apparatus for a transmission jack saddle is provided in which a first arm has a pivot joint that allows an angle between a first arm and a second arm to be adjusted and each arm further defining an edge wall having ratchet teeth that allows movement and securement using a locking pawl mechanism.
Abstract:
A plurality of portable lifts are dynamically configured to form a lift system for raising and lowering of vehicle. Each portable lift is added to the lift system and communicates wirelessly with a centralized control module. Some systems guide the user through a sequenced association of lifts in particular relative positions around the vehicle, while others use automatic position-detection techniques to determine those relative positions without explicit user input. Some systems allow definition of subsystems that can be operated together. Flexible controls may selectively allow operation of individual lifts, pairs or subsystems of lifts, or the full system at once. Controls on each lift may communicate commands for other lifts by way of the centralized control module.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hubsäule (10) für eine medizinische Einrichtung, mit mindestens zwei Säulenelementen (12, 14), die in ihrer übereinstimmenden Längsrichtung relativ zueinander bewegbar sind und mit mindestens einem Gleitelement (40), das an einer Innenfläche (54a bis 54d) eines ersten der beiden Säulenelemente (12) befestigt ist und das eine Gleitfläche (50) hat, die an einer der Innenfläche (54a bis 54d) des ersten Säulenelements (12) zugewandten Außenfläche (18a bis 18d) eines zweiten der beiden Säulenelemente (14) gleitend gelagert ist. Dabei ist eine Vergussmasse (52) in einem Raum zwischen der Gleitfläche (50) des Gleitelements (40) und der Innenfläche (54a bis 54d) des ersten Säulenelements (12) ausgehärtet.
Abstract:
A system and method for raising a structure, or part thereof, the system comprising vertical jack members connected and disposed about a rail system attached about the periphery of the structure. The vertical jack members comprise an outer sleeve and a slidable inner portion that is driven vertically by a jack screw and drive block. Extensible diagonal cross-braces stabilize the jack members and structure being raised.
Abstract:
Ce dispositif perfectionné support d'élément de mobilier urbain escamotable comprend, en premier lieu, un caisson (1) disposé dans le sol (2), en deuxième-lieu, un ensemble mobile (3) logé dans le caisson (1) et comporte un plateau support (5) d'un élément de mobilier urbain (6), qui est mobile entre une position haute dans laquelle l'élément de mobilier urbain (6) émerge du caisson (1) au-dessus du sol (2) et une position basse dans laquelle l'élément de mobilier urbain (6) est escamoté à l'intérieur du caisson (1) de manière que sa partie supérieure ne dépasse pas le niveau du sol (2), et, en troisième lieu, des moyens d'actionnement (4) pour déplacer l'ensemble mobile (3) entre ces deux positions. Le caisson (1) comporte un logement latéral (7) débouchant à la surface du sol (2). Application dans le mobilier urbain escamotable.
Abstract:
A multi-axial lever system is made by a system of three mobile levers (3, 6, 7). Two levers (3, 7) are pointed on a fixed part (4) with one lever (6) in connection between the others, pivoting in both. As the multi-axial lever system can transform a force exerted in one direction into another very different direction so the system can be used in a lot of appliances like tools, liquid and gas pumping bombing systems, pressing tools, vacuum bombs, cutters, stretchers, crabs, jacks and others.
Abstract:
A lifting apparatus (10, 70) for small vehicles, including a frame assembly (12), a pair of fabric webs (52a, 52b) attached to the frame assembly (12), and a pivotable lift assembly (30) with a pair of spaced-apart wheel holders for receiving and securing the forward wheels of a vehicle such as a lawn or garden tractor, golf cart, or the like. To use the apparatus (10), the operator positions the wheels of the vehicle (T) on the webs (52a, 52b), operably positions the forward wheels in the wheel holders, then drives the vehicle (T) over the webs (52a, 52b) while the lift assembly (30) pivots upwards.
Abstract:
The disclosed vehicle stands have a base, a top plate, and a mechanical stop on the top plate that hold a vehicle in a secure, suspended position above a surface, such as the ground or a floor. The top plate can be removable from the base. The base has two legs that extend away from the top plate. The top plate can be flat or contoured to compliment a shape of a vehicle resting upon it. The top plate can include additional securing elements, such as a friction that on a surface that contacts a suspended vehicle and a locking mechanism that attaches to the suspended vehicle. Multiple vehicle stands can be used together. Two of the multiple stands can be connected by a cross-bar that extends under the vehicle as it is suspended above the surface by the two respective top plates.
