  • Patent number: 5826889
    Abstract: The invention pertains to electrically operated levelers and stabilizers for vehicles, particularly recreational vehicles, wherein a reversible electric motor extends and retracts telescoping members mounted to the vehicle by a linkage system. Operation of the linkage system through a linkage and slot arrangement automatically pivots the stabilizer to a horizontal storage position and lowers the stabilizer to an operative position during extension of the telescoping members. The links are locked by an over-center relationship when the stabilizer is extended, and automatically unlock from the over-center relationship when the stabilizer members are retracted and raised. A foot at the outer end of the stabilizer automatically pivots between storage and operative positions.
