US Classification:

254 2B

Abstract:

An arrangement for handling a load, such as an automotive component or the like, includes a jack assembly 12, a stand 16, and a platform assembly 14 that can be secured to the load and transferred between the jack assembly and stand. The jack assembly 12 includes a wheeled base supporting a piston-and-cylinder assembly. The stand 16 includes a beam 114 supported on a column 116 for relative height adjustment, and a docking tube 110 or the like supported at a free end of the beam. The platform assembly 14 presents a receiver block 48 sized for receipt on a receiver pin 46 of the jack assembly, and a docking pin 108 or the like sized for receipt in the docking tube 110 of the stand. As such, the load can be secured to the platform assembly and transferred between the jack assembly and the stand so that the load can be serviced and replaced.

Abstract:

A splined sleeve assembly is provided for use on a component support apparatus such as a clutch jack or the like. The support apparatus includes a base, a lift arm supported on the base for movement between a lowered position and a raised position, and a piston and cylinder assembly connected between the base and the lift arm for moving the lift arm between the lowered and raised positions. The support apparatus also includes a hinge plate supported on the lift arm for pivotal movement between raised and lowered positions, and the splined sleeve assembly includes a cylindrical support shaft adapted to be mounted on the hinge plate. A tubular sleeve presents a longitudinal axis and includes a cylindrical inner surface sized for axial and rotational sliding receipt on the support shaft, and an outer surface that includes a plurality of longitudinally extending splines adapted to engage a clutch or other component. When the hinge plate is pivoted to the raised position, the longitudinal axis of the support shaft is disposed in a substantially horizontal plane, and when the hinge plate is pivoted to the lowered position, the longitudinal axis of the support shaft is disposed in a substantially vertical plane.
