  • Patent number: 7823861
    Abstract: A small vehicle jack, having the ability to lift vehicles having a variety of wheel bases, and axle configurations. A support frame provides stability for a vertical bar, which supports a winch means. The winch means raises a lifting frame using a strap means, and the lifting frame which follows the vertical bar using an improved sleeve means, in which rollers are used on either side of the vertical bar. The jack may have adjustable and detachable wheel support means, in which the wheels of the vehicle are used as the contact points to raise the vehicle. The jack may also be used without wheel support means, but instead use hook means to attach to an axle.

  • Publication number: 20090134374
    Abstract: An apparatus configured to lift vehicles having various wheels bases and axle configurations is provided. The apparatus includes a vehicle jack which includes a support frame having a base portion and a lifting-frame-support portion. The vehicle jack also includes a lifting frame having a vehicle part engaging portion and a sleeve mounted adjacent the lifting-frame-support portion so that the sleeve moves along a path defined by the lifting-frame-support portion. The vehicle jack also includes a winch mounted adjacent to the support frame and a flexible member mounted adjacent to the winch so that when the lifting frame is in a first position and the winch is activated in a first direction, the winch moves the flexible member so that the flexible member exerts an upward force on the lifting frame. The upward force moves the lifting frame adjacent the lifting-frame support portion in an upward direction to a second position.
