ABSTRACT:
A reversible stabilizer pad for use with stabilizer arms of vehicles. The reversible stabilizer pad has a plate with first and second ground contact faces pivotally coupled to the stabilizer arm such that the plate can rotate about the arm to engage the ground surface with either ground contact face. A spring member is provided such that it provides a spring tension that resists rotation of the pad in at least a first direction to prevent the pad from rotating from one contact face to the other contact face due to the inertia of the pad as the stabilizer arm is moved. The spring member also indexes the rotational position of the pad with respect to the arm so that at least one of the contact faces evenly engages a ground surface as the arm is emplaced. In other embodiments, a resilient latch, coupled to one of the stabilizer pad and the arm, contacts the other of the stabilizer pad and the arm, and provides frictional resistance to rotation.
