Jack for ATV
An ATV jack may include a clamping engagement member and a leg which pivots which respect to the clamping engagement member a limited amount to enable the jack to lift and hold an ATV. The leg may telescope to allow the jack to be used at variable heights.
Lifting and Lowering Tool
A lifting and lowering tool includes a foot configured to be supported on a surface, a bar extending therefrom, and a movable assembly including a housing, a movable platform shaped to support a load that extends from the housing, a lifting actuator configured to incrementally move the movable assembly along the bar away from the foot, a lowering actuator configured to incrementally move the movable assembly along the bar towards the foot, and a release actuator configured to disengage the movable assembly from the bar to allow free movement of the movable assembly along the bar. In embodiments, the movable assembly engages the bar through locking plates that extend through a flange of the movable assembly. In embodiments the release actuator is spaced from the lifting actuator and the lowering actuator to prevent inadvertent actuation of the release actuator. In embodiments a flange of the movable assembly surrounds the bar.
INJURY RISK MITIGATING RAISED FLOOR TILE SEPARATING DEVICE
An example raised floor tile separating apparatus includes a frame, a pedal, and a pivot arm. The pivot arm has a first end coupled to the pedal and a second end coupled to a tile attachment tool. Another example raised floor tile separating apparatus includes a bottom member, a ratchet, a pedal having an inclination, a pulley, and a cable having a first end coupled to the ratchet and a second end coupled to a tile attachment tool. The cable extends from the first end to the second end through the pulley.
Jack for ATV
An ATV jack may include an engagement member and a leg which pivots which respect to the engagement member a limited amount to enable the jack to lift and hold an ATV. The leg may telescope to allow the jack to be used at a wide variety of heights. The jack may also be used as part of a system with at least one mounting bracket to allow a tire of an ATV to be lifted and retained or replaced.

IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR MANEUVERING PARKED MOTORCYCLES AND MOTOR SCOOTERS
A dolly for supporting a tyre of a motorcycle or motor scooter off the ground is provided. The dolly comprises: axially aligned wheels supported by a frame which has a frame part forward of the wheels and a frame part behind the wheels, the forward frame part having an open end being such that the motorcycle or motor scooter tyre can locate in the open end, at least one tyre gripping member on the forward frame part and adapted to wedge the tyre when the forward frame part is lifted and release the tyre when the forward frame part is lowered, and a wheel on the frame part behind the wheels.
TOOL INTENDED FOR RAISING A VEHICLE
A tool for raising a vehicle relative to a reference plane on which the vehicle is intended to move is provided. The tool is formed by a single-piece part having a branch extending along a main axis, to be placed between the vehicle and the reference plane and to be operated by an operator substantially in a rotational movement about the main axis of the branch. In a section of the branch at right angles to the main axis and extending along the main axis, two overall distances D1 and D2 are defined that are angularly offset from one another. The first distance D1 is less than the second distance D2, the distance D1 intended to be less than a distance D separating the vehicle from the reference plane and the distance D2 intended to be greater than the distance D.
OPEN WHEEL VEHICLE SPEED JACK
A jack for raising of an exposed hub or axle of an off-road vehicle is provided. The jack has an elongated base member including an upper end and a foot portion with the upper end including a pivot attachment area. An articulating over center arm assembly is pivotably attached at the pivot attachment area of the elongated base member. The assembly includes an offset over-center arm portion with a leverage handle on a first end and a pivoting adjustable strap portion on a second end. When the strap is attached to the axle or suspension member of a hub or axle the handle may be lowered and the base pivots wherein the strap end is moved upward and temporarily secured in the up position at full actuation of the handle for raising of the wheel for removal of the wheel.
Axle lifting implement
An axle lifting implement lifts an axle from the ground. The axle lifting implement has a front side joined to a base resting point and an axle cradle. A first angular lift surface is joined to the base resting point and a second angular lift surface. A rear side is joined to the second angular lift surface and the axle cradle. In a first mode of operation, the axle cradle is immediately adjacent to the axle such that the second angular lift surface is on the ground. In a second mode of operation, the first angular lift surface and the base resting point are immediately adjacent to the ground and the axle is displaced the height from the ground further than the axle was displaced from the ground in the first mode of operation.
Support roller bearing regreasing arrangement for high load crank assembly
A crank assembly for displacing a load includes a motor and a displacement arm assembly. The motor includes a rotatable output shaft that defines a rotation axis. The displacement arm assembly includes a swingable crank arm and a support roller bearing. The swingable crank arm is coupled to the output shaft to swing about the rotation axis when the output shaft rotates. The swingable crank arm defines a pivot end adjacent the rotation axis and an opposite displacement end. The support roller bearing is rotatably supported on the swingable crank arm proximate the displacement end. The support roller bearing is configured to engage the load. The support roller bearing defines a bearing axis, which is substantially parallel to and offset from the rotation axis.
