Abstract
Abstract APPARATUS FOR LIFTING A VEHICLE, SUCH AS A SNOWMOBILE, FROM THE GROUND, WHEREBY IT MAY BE TRANSPORTED OR REPOSITIONED, SAID APPARATUS BEING EASILY OPERABLE BY ONE PERSON. THE APPARATUS INCLUDES A U SHAPED HANDLE ASSEMBLY, THE LEGS OF WHICH ARE SPACED APART SUFFICIENTLY FAR TO COMFORTABLY SPAN THE WIDTH OF A SNOWMOBILE. THE TIP OF EACH LEG IS PROVIDED WITH A WHEEL ASSEMBLY INCLUDING AN ANGULARLY FORMED STRUCTURE WHICH, IN COMBINATION WITH A TIE BAR, FUNCTIONS TO LIFT THE SNOWMOBILE UPWARDLY, WHEN THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY IS DEPRESSED. IN USE, THE APPARATUS IS MOVED ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE SNOWMOBILE, WITH A WHEEL ASSEMBLY ON EACH SIDE OF THE SNOWMOBILE. WHEN THE APPARATUS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A POINT JUST BEYOND THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE SNOWMOBILE THE TIE BAR IS INSERTED THROUGH FITTINGS ON THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THE FRONT END OF THE SNOWMOBILE WILL THEN BE LIFTED WHEN THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY IS PRESSED DOWNWARDLY. THE REAR END OF THE SNOWMOBILE MAY THEN BE EASILY LIFTED AND SUPPORTED, OFF THE GROUND, BY ATTACHMENT TO THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY.
