Patent ID: 7303205

Claim:
A device that is adapted for attachment to an anti-sway bar, the device replacing a hand crank of the anti-sway and being able to serve a same function as the hand crank without any need of manual hand cranking, wherein the device is also adapted to use two bolts that were used to attach the hand crank to the anti-sway bar, the device comprising: a lever, the lever having a lever head at one end and a handle at an opposite end, wherein the lever head is attached to the anti-sway bar by the two bolts, and wherein the handle includes a nut that is housed within the handle; a lower micro-switch that is attached to a left side of the handle, the lower micro-switch having a lower trigger that extends downward from the handle; an upper micro-switch that is attached to a right side of the handle, the upper micro-switch having an upper trigger that extends upward from the handle; a screw, the screw having a base that is supported on a top of the anti-sway bar and a length that extends upward, wherein the screw is threaded through the nut in the handle; an upper stop that is fixed at a position along the length of the screw that is above the handle; a lower stop that is fixed at a position along the length of the screw that is below the handle; an electric motor that provides a rotational force for turning the screw, the electric motor being mechanically connected to the screw by one or more gears and being electrically connected to the upper and lower micro-switches; and, a control switch that is electrically connected to the motor, the control switch enabling a user to selectively send a first current to the motor that causes the motor to turn in a first direction, and a second current to the motor that causes the motor to turn in a second direction.
