  • Patent number: 6685169
    Abstract: A motor-operated jack for vehicles includes a lifting unit, which includes a spiral lifting ram having an internal thread limitedly formed at a lower portion of the spiral lifting ram, and a pin held in a horizontal groove formed at the top end of a primary screw. This pin is slightly projected into two longitudinal holes symmetrically formed at the top portion of a secondary screw. There is also a coil spring, a spring cover and a snap ring sequentially laid on the top of the pin. There is also a support ram, having a top support and an external thread, movably fitted in a gap between the secondary screw and the spiral lifting ram while engaging with an internal thread of the spiral lifting ram at the external thread, thus allowing a user to control the moving stroke of the lifting unit as desired.

  • Publication number: 20020171070
    Abstract: A motor-operated jack for vehicles is disclosed. In the motor-operated jack of this invention, a lifting unit consists of a spiral lifting ram having an internal thread limitedly formed at a lower portion of the spiral lifting ram, thus reducing its frictional resistance. A pin is held in a horizontal groove formed at the top end of a primary screw. This pin is slightly projected into two longitudinal holes symmetrically formed at the top portion of a secondary screw. A coil-spring, a spring cover and a snap ring are sequentially laid on the top of the pin such that the snap ring is seated in an annular groove formed on the inner surface of the top wall of the secondary screw, thus allowing the coil spring to bias the pin. This second screw is thus prevented from being raised along with the spiral lifting ram.
