Abstract
A Support frame for a jack hammer has an armature comprised of a riser member rotationally attached to a vertical support member. The vertical support member extends perpendicularly from a base having wheels, casters, and pods. Extending diagonally from the vertical support member is a joystick support member to which is movably attached a joystick. The joystick has a handle at one of its end and an attachment ring at its opposite end to attach the bottom of the jack hammer. The joystick runs through a sleeve which is rotationally attached to a cross beam. The sleeve allows for the joystick to slide therethrough.
Claims18
A support frame for a jack hammer comprising a base member adapted to remain stable upon a flat surface;
- an armature attached to said base member and extending vertically therefrom, said armature including a riser member rotationally attached to a vertical support member that is securely attached to said base member;
- said riser member includes a handle at one end and two cradle members at an opposite end adapted to hold handles of a jack hammer, such that said riser member is adapted to pivot upon said vertical support member and thereby lift or lower said jack hammer vertically from said flat surface;
- a joystick member adapted to attach to a portion of said jack hammer a distance from said jack hammer handles;
- said joystick including a handle portion, and an attachment portion adapted to attach securely to said jack hammer;
- and a joystick support member attached to said vertical support member and extending in a direction in proximity to said riser handle;
- said joystick support member includes a sleeve that is fixedly attached to a cross beam member, such that said joystick is adapted to slide through said sleeve and attach to said jack hammer, thereby offering the ability of said support frame to manipulate said jack hammer in a variety of positions desirable.
A combination of a jack hammer and a support frame, said combination comprising a jack hammer;
- and a base member adapted to remain stable upon a flat surface;
- an armature attached to said base member and extending vertically therefrom, said armature including a riser member rotationally attached to a vertical support member that is securely attached to said base member;
- said riser member includes a handle at one end and two cradle members at an opposite end adapted to hold handles of a jack hammer, such that said riser member is adapted to pivot upon said vertical support member and thereby lift or lower said jack hammer vertically from said flat surface;
- a joystick member adapted to attach to a portion of said jack hammer a distance from said jack hammer handles;
- said joystick including a handle portion, and an attachment portion adapted to attach securely to said jack hammer;
- and a joystick support member attached to said vertical support member and extending in a direction in proximity to said riser handle;
- said joystick support member includes a sleeve that is fixedly attached to a cross beam member, such that said joystick is adapted to slide through said sleeve and attach to said jack hammer, thereby offering the ability of said support frame to manipulate said jack hammer in a variety of positions desirable.
