Patent ID: 8579258

Claim:
A load support for a jack for lifting automobiles and other vehicles consisting of an integral load support formed of a sheet material bent in a manner such that the bending angle between two adjacent surfaces α<180° and comprising: load support surfaces A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, and L; a first bend line between surfaces D and E, formed by bending surface E at −α° with surfaces F, G, and H remaining parallel with surface E; a second bend line between surfaces E and F, formed by bending surface F at +α° with surfaces G and H remaining parallel with surface F; a third bend line between surfaces F and G, formed by bending surface G at +α° with surface H remaining parallel with surface G; a fourth bend line between surfaces G and H, formed by bending surface H at −α°; a first centre terminal bend line between surfaces A and K, formed by bending surface K laterally outwardly at +α°; a second centre terminal bend between surfaces B and L, formed by bending surface L laterally outwardly at +α°; a u-bend line between surfaces A and C, formed by bending surface A at +α°; a u-bend line between surfaces B and C, formed by bending surface B at −α°; a bend line between surfaces C and D, formed by bending surface D at −α°; wherein surface F sits on a sitting edge of a seat housing formed by surfaces A and B, surface E sits on a support edge of the seat housing, and surface G sits on an angular edge of the seating housing; and wherein surfaces K and L are centered and surface H sits on surfaces K and L.
