Abstract:
1. A jack kit, comprising: a lifting jack having, a left side arm and a fight side arm, a set of wheels for moving the hydraulic jack on a floor surface; a first platform having a first horizontal flat surface with an area of first magnitude for supporting an object balanced on the flat surface; a hole defined in the first platform adapted for removably receiving an object inserted from above; a hydraulic lift configured to elevate the platform; a handle configured to be removably engaged with the jack for providing an input force into the hydraulic lift whereby the hydraulic lift elevates the platform; a pivotable yoke configured to removably receive the handle and to apply a pumping action to a hydraulic press in the lifting jack; wherein, each side arm defines an opening configured to allow the handle to be snugly passed through both openings at the same time; a second platform having an area of second magnitude smaller than the first magnitude, the second platform defining a downwardly extending protrusion configured to be removably positioned in the hole in the first platform, whereby the first platform is configured to support the second platform above the first platform and the second platform is configured to be rotatable about an axis passing vertically through the hole in the first platform; a third platform having components extending beyond left and fight lateral edges of the first platform, each component being configured with an opening to receive and support a wheel of a vehicle, the third platform defining a downwardly extending protrusion configured to be removably positioned in the hole in the first platform, whereby the first platform is configured to support the third platform; wherein the handle, when passed through the openings, includes a fixed ridge at one end of the handle and a movable ridge at an opposite end of the handle, each ridge being configured to reduce wobble of the jack on a floor surface, and further wherein, the movable ridge comprises a cylindrical portion slidable over the handle, and an annular portion protruding outwardly from the cylindrical portion.
