Abstract
A jack assembly includes a jack, and a service accessory including a plurality of different working surfaces defining a plurality of different service orientations. The service accessory includes a first elongate guide structured to mate the service accessory to the jack beam in a first assembly configuration presenting some of the working surfaces at first service orientations relative to a jack beam, and a second elongate guide structured to mate the service accessory in a second assembly configuration presenting some of the working surfaces at second service orientations relative to the jack beam.
Claims20
A jack assembly comprising:
- a base;
- a beam including therein a plurality of apertures spaced vertically between a first beam end coupled to the base, and a second beam end;
- a runner assembly including climbing elements selectively positionable in the plurality of apertures, and an actuator for varying a position of the runner assembly vertically upon the beam;
- and
- a service accessory including a plurality of working surfaces, and a beam fastening opening formed therein;
- the service accessory further including a first elongate guide structured to mate the service accessory to the beam in a first assembly configuration presenting some of the plurality of working surfaces at first service orientations relative to the beam, and a second elongate guide structured to mate the service accessory to the beam in a second assembly configuration presenting some of the plurality of working surfaces at second service orientations relative to the beam.
A service accessory for a jack comprising:
- a one-piece accessory body having an outer peripheral surface varied in contour so as to form a plurality of outer working surfaces, and at least one inner peripheral surface forming a beam fastening opening and a plurality of inner working surfaces;
- the one-piece accessory body further including a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a first elongate guide extending longitudinally between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end;
- the one-piece accessory body further including a first transverse end, a second transverse end, and a second elongate guide extending transversely between the first transverse end and the second transverse end;
- and
- the plurality of inner working surfaces having a distribution in at least one of a longitudinal direction or a transverse direction, and the plurality of outer working surfaces among them defining at least one service orientation in the longitudinal direction and at least one service orientation in the transverse direction.
A service accessory for a jack comprising:
- an accessory body having a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, a first transverse end, a second transverse end, a first side, a second side, and at least one hole extending through the accessory body from the first side to the second side;
- the accessory body further including a first outer working surface defining a service orientation in a longitudinal direction, and a second outer working surface defining a service orientation in a transverse direction;
- and
- the accessory body further including a longitudinal set of guide channels formed in one of the first side or the second side and a transverse set of guide channels formed in one of the first side or the second side.
