Abstract: In various embodiments, a battery lifting device is provided that includes an expandable retention subassembly, a shaft and a handle. The expandable retention subassembly is adapted to engage lifting tabs of a battery to be lifted and the shaft is pivotally coupled to the retention subassembly. The handle is connected to the shaft such that a lifting force applied to the handle utilizes the weight of the battery to expand the retention subassembly. Expansion of the retention subassembly, via the weight of the battery as the battery is lifted, firmly engages the retention subassembly with the battery lifting tabs such that the battery will not become dislodged or disconnected until the lifting force is removed.

Abstract: A steering column assembly attached to a frame of a vehicle includes a base rigidly attached to the frame. A bracket may be attached to the base. A steering column may be rigidly attached to the bracket. The bracket may attach to the base in a plurality of orientations. At least one angle may be defined in a first orientation between the steering column and the base. A correspondingly measured second angle may be defined in a second orientation between the steering column and the base. The first angle is distinct from the second angle.
