ABSTRACT:
A self-deploying stabilizing support jack is presented which stabilizes and positions a recreational vehicle or trailer. The support jack comprises a bracket, a two-way cylinder, lift arms, a stabilizing sleeve and several electrical warning devices and safety features. The lift arms and cylinder are attached to the bracket at separate, offset first and second points so that when the ram of the cylinder contacts the foot of the lift arm, the entire apparatus is raised to a horizontal position. A stabilizing sleeve attached to the lift and surrounding the cylinder stabilizes the device from lateral movement. An intermediate third pivot point in the lift arm helps reduce stress upon raising. Several signalling devices warn the operator when the support jack is in the deployed position. A safety circuit automatically raises any support jack that is not in the horizontal safety position should the ignition be turned to the "on" position. The safety circuit may be overridden by a cut-out switch, if desired, however the blinking red light and buzzer warning remains energized.
