Patent number: 9315366Abstract: One disclosed lifting apparatus includes a base, a receiving portion, and a first pair of laterally offset arms. The base has proximal and distal ends, and the laterally offset arms are rotatably coupled to the base for movement between lowered and raised positions. The arms are also rotatably coupled to the receiving portion, and the receiving portion is relatively near the base distal end when the arms are at the lowered position. The arms of the first pair of arms do not share a common axis of rotation with one another. Further, a height of the first pair of arms when at the lowered position is less than the sum of: (a) a thickness of one arm of the first pair of arms; (b) a thickness of the other arm of the first pair of arms; and (c) a height of the base at the distal end.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: SHINN FU CORPORATIONInventors: Casey R. Gann, Peter K. Gillespie

Patent number: 8608130Abstract: One disclosed lifting apparatus includes a base, a receiving portion, first and second arms, and a support. The base has a proximal end, a distal end, and first and second opposed sides. The first side has a plurality of receiving areas spaced apart between the proximal and distal ends. The arms are rotatably coupled to the base for movement between lowered and raised positions, and are coupled to the receiving portion. The receiving portion is relatively near the base distal end when the first and second arms are at the lowered position, and the receiving portion is relatively distant to the base distal end when the first and second arms are at the raised position. The support rotatably extends from the first arm and automatically engages at least one of the receiving areas when the first and second arms move from the lowered position to the raised position.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Shinn Fu CorporationInventors: Casey R. Gann, Peter K. Gillespie, Michael Kade Belcher, Braxton Kersting, Colin Mandrick, Ron Robertson, Randy Nuttall, Ryan Jorgensen
