Abstract:

An improved hoist is disclosed to reposition a load relative to a vehicle compartment such as a trunk of a vehicle. The hoist comprises a base for location on a generally horizontal lower surface of the vehicle compartment. A horizontal telescoping shaft has a first and second distal end extending from opposed sides of the base for engaging with opposed generally vertical surfaces of the vehicle compartment. A horizontal expander coacts between the first and second distal ends for applying a horizontal engaging force between the opposed generally vertical surfaces of the vehicle compartment for horizontally stabilizing the base within the vehicle compartment. A vertical telescoping shaft having a distal end extends vertically from the improved hoist for engaging with a upper generally horizontal surface of the vehicle compartment. A vertical expander coacts between the base surface and the distal end of the vertical telescoping shaft for applying a vertical engaging force between the lower and upper generally horizontal surfaces of the vehicle compartment for vertically stabilizing the base within the vehicle compartment. A column extends from the base for supporting a boom for repositioning the load relative to the vehicle.
