ABSTRACT:
A foot-operated motorcycle lift stand. The cyclist drives the motorcycle over the lift stand in its lowermost compact position. While manually steadying the motorcyle, the cyclist actuates a foot lever to shift the stand platform into lifting engagement with the undercarriage of the motorcycle by means of legs which pivotally secure the platform to a base and which, in motion, describe a parallelogram. The foot lever pivots from its position adjacent one of the legs of the stand to an upstanding position, where additional foot pressure creates a turning moment to shift the legs and platform to a stable raised position. The cyclist's hands are then free to secure the lift stand with positive locking means which lock the stand in place. When not in use, the lift stand can be conveniently stored in an upright position whereby edges of the platform and base provide stable resting means.
