Pivot block connection

A pivot block assembly comprising:

• a first support block for attachment to a pivotable device, said first support block having a first opening extending therethrough;
• a first bracket having a first end and an opposing second end, said first end having a second opening extending therethrough, said first bracket further including a first inner plate and a first outer plate, said first outer plate is attached to said first inner plate, said second opening extends through both said first inner plate and said first outer plate;
• a first pivot rod spacer positioned between said first support block and said first bracket, said first pivot rod spacer having a third opening extending therethrough;
• a second support block for attachment to said pivotable device, said second support block having a fourth opening extending therethrough;
• a second bracket having a third end and a fourth opposing end, said third end having a fifth opening extending therethrough, said second bracket further including a second inner plate and a second outer plate, said second outer plate is attached to said second inner plate, said fifth opening extends through both said second inner plate and said second outer plate;
• a second pivot rod spacer positioned between said second support block and said second bracket, said second pivot rod spacer having a sixth opening extending therethrough;
• and
• a pivot rod extending through said first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth openings;
• wherein said pivot block assembly further comprises said pivotable device, said pivotable device comprises a stationary base and a pivotable access, said pivotable access having a first side, an opposing second side, and an access way extending therebetween, said pivotable access capable of being raised and lowered;
• and
• wherein said first support block is positioned adjacent to and between said first side of said pivotable access of said pivotable device and said first pivot rod spacer, said first support block rigidly attached to said first side of said pivotable access so that rotation is limited between said first support block and said pivotable access, and wherein said second support block is positioned adjacent to and between said second side of said pivotable access of said pivotable device and said second pivot rod spacer wherein a sleeve bearing is press fitted within the first and fourth openings to reduce wear due to rotation between the pivot rod and the support blocks.
