Abstract:
A kit for adapting a commercially available hydraulic bottle jack for use at selectively adjustable relatively elevated locations comprising:a first elongated tubular member having a floor engaging base fixed on one end thereof, a first transverse aperture extending therethrough near the other end thereof, and a second transverse aperture longitudinally spaced from the first aperture and extending generally orthogonal thereto;a second elongated tubular member having a first set of generally parallel generally equally spaced transverse apertures and a second set of generally parallel generally equally spaced transverse apertures with the second set of apertures extending generally orthogonal to the first set, one of the elongated members having a transverse dimension sufficiently small that it may be telescopically slidingly received within the other tubular member;a jack adapter plate fixed to one end of the second elongated tubular member;a plurality of bolts for fastening a hydraulic jack to the jack adapter plate; anda pin adapted to extend simultaneously through said first elongated tubular member transverse aperture and a selected one of said first and second sets of apertures to fix the relative locations of the first and second elongated tubular members.
