Patent ID: 8632055

Claim:
A combined car jack and lug wrench assembly, comprising: a body having a front portion, an intermediate region, and an end portion, the body further having first and second sidewalls spaced apart from each other; a lift arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the intermediate region of the body and a second end proximate to the front portion; a top plate coupled to the second end of the lift arm, the top plate configured to engage a lifting location of an object to be lifted; a driving head pivotally coupled to the end portion of the body to operate a hydraulic system housed within the body and configured to raise the lift arm, the driving head defining an opening and a locating notch at a distal end thereof; a rotary lock bolt disposed proximate to the end portion of the body, the rotary lock bolt operatives a locking mechanism of the hydraulic system; and a driving lever having an elongated body with a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region disposed between the first end and the second end, the driving lever having a first bend disposed between the first end and the intermediate region, the driving lever further having a coupling tip at the first end of the driving lever, the coupling tip having a rectangular cross-section configured to mate with a wrench socket, a retaining knob is disposed along a side of the coupling tip to secure a wrench socket to the coupling tip, the second end of the driving lever sized to conformably mate with the driving head to operate the driving head, a retaining hole axially at a distal tip of the second end of the driving lever, the retaining hole conformed to mate to with the rotary lock bolt to operate the rotary lock bolt, a locating pin extending perpendicular from the elongated body and disposed at a prescribed location from the distal tip of the second end to engage the locating notch of the driving head, and a grip disposed about the elongated body proximate to the second end configured to be held by a user when the driving lever is used as a spanner of a lug wrench, in which a wrench socket is disposed on the coupling tip, the grip is spaced from the distal tip of the second end so that the grip abuts the opening to the driving head when the driving lever is mated to the driving head with the locating pin engaged in the locating notch.
