Abstract (en)

A load-lifting jack has pairs of upper and lower arms (10, 6) connected by pivots (8, 9) and, respectively, pivotted on a head (14) and base (2) to provide a parallel linkage. Rotation of a lead screw (16) extending between the pivots (8, 9) raises or lowers the head (14) relative to the base (2). A crown gear (22) secured coaxially to the lead screw (16) meshes with a pinion (28) adapted for connection to a handle (34) whereby rotation of the pinion (28) by the handle (34) turns the screw (16) through the gear (22). The gear ratio provides a mechanical advantage for the gear (22). Preferably the axis of the pinion (28) is angled upwardly, outwardly relative to the axis of the lead screw (16).
