ABSTRACT:
In a self-stowing motorized jack, a pair of elongated axially telescoping members are arranged to be driven lengthwise relative to each other to lift the vehicle to which they are attached, and when retracted, to move into a self-stowing position. The telescoping members are pivoted at one end to the vehicle to be lifted or leveled. A cam is affixed to the vehicle and a cam follower is affixed to a retractable one of the telescoping members of the jack so that the cam follower, when retracted into engagement with the cam causes the retracted telescoping members to pivot about the pivot into a stowed horizontal position. Automatic latches are arranged for latching the telescoping jack members in both the stowed and lifting positions.
