Jack hanging apparatus

An apparatus for holding, rotating and positioning a jack for the purpose of attaching said jack to one side of a concrete structural support having reinforcing rods that project upwardly from the support and having front portions directed toward said one side, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a base mounted on top of said support and having means for clamping said base against the rear portions of the rods opposite to said front portions above the concrete support and including a generally horizontal pivot axle extending parallel to said one side of said structural support;
• and
• (b) a holder having two side arms pivotally connected at one end to the pivot axle of the base for horizontal adjustment of said arms relative to each other between closed and open positions along the axle and for displacement of the holder between a first location above said structural support and a second location at said one side, each of said arms having a receiver, said receivers operable in said closed position to engage and retain the jack as the holder is pivoted between said locations in order to position the jack for attachment of the jack to said one side of the concrete support, said receivers in the open position affording disengagement of the holder from the jack after said attachment;
• in said open position, said holder being displacable from said second location back to said first location after disengagement of the holder from the jack.

An apparatus for holding, rotating and positioning a jack having a topside providing a support structure and an underside providing a strut portion for the purpose of attaching said jack to one of two opposite sides of a wall with the support structure uppermost and the strut posited below the support structure and angled against the wall, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a saddle frame anchored on the wall, confronting both sides of the wall, and clamped against said one side;
• and
• (b) a holder pivotally connected at one end to the saddle frame for displacement between a first location above said saddleframe and a second location at said one side, said holder having a pair of elongated receiver members and an actuator to displace said members relative to each other to a closed position to releasably engage the jack from the topside when in the first location, and operable to retain the jack as the holder is pivoted between said locations in said second location said receiver members being constructed and arranged to position the jack for attachment of the strut portion on its underside to one side of the wall, said receiver members being actuatable relative to each other to an open position for disengagement of the holder from the jack after said attachment;
• in said open position, said holder being displacable from said second location back to said first location after disengagement of the jack from the holder.

An apparatus for holding, rotating and positioning a jack for the purpose of attaching said jack to one of two sides of a wall, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a frame releaseably anchored on the wall having a pivot axle extending parallel to said one side of said wall;
• and
• (b) a holder having two angle members pivotally connected at one end to sleeves mounted on the pivot axle for providing horizontal adjustment of said angle members relative to each other along the axle between closed and open positions and vertical pivotal displacement of said holder between a first location above said wall and a second location at said one side to position the jack for attachment to said one side of the wall, said holder having a receiver mounted to an opposite end of each angle member operable in the closed position to retain the jack when the holder is pivoted between said locations, said receiver being actuatable to the open position for removal of the holder from the jack after said attachment;
• in said open position, said holder being displacable from said second location back to said first location after disengagement of the jack from the holder.

An apparatus for holding, rotating and positioning a jack for the purpose of attaching said jack to one side of a structural support, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a base having means to releasably clamp the base on the structural support;
• and
• (b) a holder pivotally connected at one end to the base for displacement between a first location above said base and a second location at said one side to position the jack for attachment to said one side of the structural support, said holder having a receiver comprising two parallel elongated angle members and adjusting means operable for moving the elongated members together to a closed position to engage and retain the jack when the holder is pivotally displaced between said locations, said adjusting means also operable for moving the two elongated members apart to an open position to disengage the holder from the jack after said attachment;
• in said open position, said holder being displacable from said second location back to said first location after disengagement of the jack from the holder.

An apparatus for holding, rotating, and positioning a jack for the purpose of attaching said jack to one side of a structural support, said apparatus comprising:

• (a) a base having means to releasably clamp the base on the structural support;
• and
• (b) a holder comprising two side arms, and a receiver mounted on an end of each arm, said side arms being pivotally connected at an opposite end to eh base for displacement of the holder between a first location above said structural support and a second location at said one side to position the jack for attachment to said one side of the structural support, said side arms being displaceable relative to each other along the pivot axis between closed and open positions, and means connecting said side arms and the receivers for adjusting the distance of the receivers from the arms, said receivers being operable in said closed position to retain the jack when the holder is pivoted between said locations, said receivers being actuatable to said open position for removal of the holder from the jack after said attachment;
• in said open position, said holder being displacable from said second location back to said first location after disengagement of the jack from the holder.
