  • Patent number: 4324384
    Abstract: A servicing stand for three wheeled vehicles of the motorcycle type includes a horizontal base which may be supported by casters and a pair of support brackets pivotally mounted to the rearward and forward ends of the base. Each of the brackets can swing from a retracted position through, and slightly past vertical to an extended position. A spring connected between the remote end of the forward bracket and the base urges the forward bracket toward its extended position. A linkage mechanism operatively couples the lower end of the rearward bracket to a releasable clamp mechanism which is utilized for holding the forward bracket in its collapsed position when the rearward bracket is also in its collapsed position. In this configuration, the servicing stand can be rolled underneath the three wheeled vehicle from behind, between its rear two wheels. A pair of C-shaped members at the upper end of the rearward bracket will then engage the rear axle of the vehicle.
