Axle lifting implement

摘要

An axle lifting implement lifts an axle from the ground. The axle lifting implement has a front side joined to a base resting point and an axle cradle. A first angular lift surface is joined to the base resting point and a second angular lift surface. A rear side is joined to the second angular lift surface and the axle cradle. In a first mode of operation, the axle cradle is immediately adjacent to the axle such that the second angular lift surface is on the ground. In a second mode of operation, the first angular lift surface and the base resting point are immediately adjacent to the ground and the axle is displaced the height from the ground further than the axle was displaced from the ground in the first mode of operation.

1. An axle lifting implement, configured to lift an axle of a vehicle a height above the ground; the axle lifting implement comprising:
a support frame with a part outline integrally formed from a plurality of walls; wherein the support frame comprises:
an axle cradle wall that is concave toward a middle of the part outline for mating with the axle;a base slot, formed concave into a first corner of the part outline between a first wall and a second wall; a first anti-slip ribbing fitted into and extending out of the base slot to form a first angular lift surface;a relief base slot, formed concave into a second corner of the part outline between the first wall and a third wall; a second anti-slip ribbing fitted into and extending out of the relief base slot to form a second angular lift surface;a base resting surface located at a third corner of the part outline between the second wall and a fourth wall;wherein the first wall that connects the first angular lift surface to the second angular lift surface is concave toward the middle of the part outline;wherein the second wall that connects the first angular lift surface to the base resting surface is concave toward the middle of the part outline;wherein the third wall connects the second angular lift surface to one end of the axle cradle wall;wherein the fourth wall connects the base resting surface to another end of the axle cradle wall; wherein a first mode of operation the vehicle is supported on the ground and the axle lifting implement is positioned with the axle cradle wall immediately adjacent to the axle such that only the first angular lift surface and the second angular lift surface are in contact with the ground; wherein when the vehicle is moved in a direction toward the axle lifting implement, while maintaining the axle cradle wall immediately adjacent to the axle, the vehicle movement causes the axle lifting implement to pivot on the first angular lift surface and come to rest in a second mode of operation such that only the first angular lift surface and the base resting surface are in contact with the ground; wherein in the second mode of operation the vehicle is supported by the axle above the ground.
