Abstract: An automobile pneumatic jack assembly includes at least one pneumatic cylinder assembly capable of lifting a vehicle to a suitable height to allow repairs to tires and other vehicle parts; at least one compressor, at least one distribution manifold assembly, and electrical controls for controlling the operation of said pneumatic jack assembly. The automobile pneumatic jack assembly may include up to four pneumatic cylinders mounted at various locations on an automobile chassis having a frame. The said pneumatic cylinder assemblies are preferably mounted to said automobile chassis through said frame by welding, mechanical fasteners, or any other suitable means.

Abstract: Telescoped excavating support and wear members are releasably retained in their telescoped relationship by a connector pin assembly removably received in aligned connector openings in the members. A body portion of the pin assembly blocks removal of the wear member from the support member, and a lock member portion of the assembly is rotatable relative to the body, toward and away from a locking orientation, to releasably lock the body within the connector openings. A resilient detent member carried by the lock member slidingly and deformably engages a polygonally shaped interior side surface section of a body passage that rotatably receives the lock member, the detent member yieldingly resisting rotational movement of the lock member away from its locking orientation.
