Abstract (en)

The jack is of the type having a leg (11) provided with rolling base (13), or pivotted to a base, an arm (20) pivotted to the leg, a load-support shoe (30) on the arm and a screw (23) and nut (24) arrangement for pivotally moving the arm relative to the leg. The load-support shoe may be mounted on further links attached to the arm and the leg in a parallelogram arrangement. In order to position the jack correctly in different setting-up positions, an auxiliary foot (40) is provided. The foot is geared to the arm (20) by meshed teeth (44,48), so that the auxiliary foot is automatically adjusted relative to the base as the arm is pivotally moved relative to the leg.
