Abstract (en)

The jack comprises a leg (11) provided with a foot (15). An arm (20) is mounted for angular movement relative to the leg (11) and carries a formation (23) for engagement with a vehicle. A screw is mounted between the leg and the arm and engages a nut (30) on the leg, for angularly raising and lowering the arm relative to the leg. The leg has a rack of teeth (18) and the arm has an arcuate row of teeth (22) meshed with the rack teeth, so that, as the arm is moved angularly the arm rides up the leg to vary the position of the centre of rotation of the arm relative to the leg.
