Abstract
Abstract A motor home support for preventing horizontal and vertical sway of a motor home. A vertical mounting plate has a fixed horizontal arm secured thereto. A rotatable screw whose axis extends parallel to the axis of the horizontal arm is secured adjacent to the horizontal arm and has a movable nut positioned thereon. A planar ground support plate is movable from adjacent one end of the arm to a position wherein the ground support plate is in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the horizontal arm. A pivot junction is fixed to one side of the ground support plate. A first support leg interconnects the mounting plate and the ground support plate. A second support leg is interconnected at one end to the ground support plate and the other end to the movable nut.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
In combination: a vehicle chassis including a frame having a vertical surface extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of said frame; and a motor home support comprising: a vertical mounting plate having a fixed horizontal arm secured thereto adjacent the mounting plate top surface, said vertical mounting plate having a surface abutting and secured to said chassis frame vertical surface; a rotatable screw whose axis extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of said horizontal arm and having a movable nut positioned on said screw, said screw having means formed thereon for rotating said screw; a planar ground support plate movable from adjacent one end of said arm to a ground engaging position wherein said ground support plate is in a plane parallel to the plane of said horizontal arm; a pivot junction fixed to one side of said ground support plate; a first support leg pivotally interconnected between said mounting plate adjacent said mounting plate bottom surface, and said ground support plate at said pivot junction; and a second support leg pivotally interconnected at one end to said ground support plate at said pivot junction and at the other end to said movable nut.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
194 words
In combination: a vehicle chassis including a frame having a vertical surface extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of said frame; and a motor home support comprising: a vertical mounting plate having a fixed horizontal arm secured thereto adjacent the mounting plate top surface, said vertical mounting plate having a surface abutting and secured to said chassis frame vertical surface; a rotatable screw whose axis extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of said horizontal arm and having a movable nut positioned on said screw, said screw having means formed thereon for rotating said screw; a planar ground support plate movable from adjacent one end of said arm to a ground engaging position wherein said ground support plate is in a plane parallel to the plane of said horizontal arm; a pivot junction fixed to one side of said ground support plate; a first support leg pivotally interconnected between said mounting plate adjacent said mounting plate bottom surface, and said ground support plate at said pivot junction; and a second support leg pivotally interconnected at one end to said ground support plate at said pivot junction and at the other end to said movable nut.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said first and second support legs are movable from a position wherein said second support arm axis is generally perpendicular to the axis of said first horizontal arm to a collapsed position wherein said first and second support leg axes are generally parallel to the axis of said fixed horizontal arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said movable nut is adjacent said mounting plate when said support arm axes and said horizontal arm axis are in said parallel position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor home support in accordance with claim 1 wherein said ground support leg is tiltable for adjustably mounting said ground support plate on a ground surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A motor home support in accordance with claim 4 wherein said support legs each contain telescopic portions for adjusting said support plate with respect to said ground surface.
