Automotive Engine Support Stand

摘要

This present invention provides a supporting device to be used in lifting and supporting an automotive vehicle engine during repair of the engine. The support device has a middle plate having a threaded aperture extending through the middle plate. The middle plate is above a lower base and the middle plate is supported by a plurality of legs on the lower base. A threaded shaft extends through the aperture in the middle plate and through a threaded middle grip attached to the middle plate. A substantially flat engine support platform is rotatably mounted on an upper end of the threaded shaft by the repair mechanic. Another grip permanently engages the threaded shaft and facilitates the rotation of the threaded shaft. A ball bearing is used to allow minor adjustments to the angle and position the engine as the engine is being lifted by the support device.
