Abstract
Abstract The rectilinear jack comprises a cage defining an inner chamber at an upper portion while a lower portion of the cage is thinned out in order to form an end lug with a hole for fixation of the cage. The upper portion of the cage is substantially of a lozenge shape for enclosing a cam with two noses placed substantially at 120° with respect to each other. The cam displaces two substantially V-shaped parts bearing on inclined inner walls of the inner chamber while an open lower portion thereof contains trains of rollers kept in engagement with the above parts by a spring. The trains of rollers bear on an upper portion of a jack stem having at least one connection head.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A rectilinear jack blocked by rollers in an indifferent position, comprising a cage (1) defining an inner chamber (4) at an upper portion while a lower portion of the cage is thinned out in order to form an end lug (6) with a hole for fixation of the cage (1), and wherein said cage (1) is, in said upper portion, shaped for enclosing a cam (8) with two noses (9) placed substantially at 120° with respect to each other, said cam (1) displacing two generally V-shaped parts (15, 16) bearing, on a side opposite the two noses (9) of the cam (8), on inclined inner walls of the inner chamber (4) while an open lower portion thereof contains trains of rollers (17, 18) kept in engagement with said parts (15, 16) said trains of rollers (17, 18) bearing on an upper portion of a jack stem (23) having at least one connection head (25).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A rectilinear jack blocked by rollers in an indifferent position, comprising a cage (1) defining an inner chamber (4) at an upper portion while a lower portion of the cage is thinned out in order to form an end lug (6) with a hole for fixation of the cage (1), and wherein said cage (1) is, in said upper portion, shaped for enclosing a cam (8) with two noses (9) placed substantially at 120° with respect to each other, said cam (1) displacing two generally V-shaped parts (15, 16) bearing, on a side opposite the two noses (9) of the cam (8), on inclined inner walls of the inner chamber (4) while an open lower portion thereof contains trains of rollers (17, 18) kept in engagement with said parts (15, 16) said trains of rollers (17, 18) bearing on an upper portion of a jack stem (23) having at least one connection head (25).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The jack according to claim 1, wherein the jack stem (23) has a square shaped section and bears in lower portion of the chamber (4) via a lower side thereof while an inner side supports the trains of rollers (17, 18).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
The jack according to claim 1, wherein said engagement of said trains of rollers (17, 18) with said parts (15, 16) is effected by a spring (20), said spring (20) being maintained in position by a lug (21) formed by a cut-out portion of a shell (2) forming with a shell (3) the cage (1) defining the chamber (4).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The jack according to claim 1, wherein the cam (8) is rotatably controlled by a lever (14) rigidly connected to said cam (8) by a cam extension (12) forming an axis of rotation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
The jack according to claim 1, wherein the parts (15, 16) have inner angles containing the trains of rollers (17, 18), said inner angles having a value less than that of a bearing angle of outer ramps (15a, 16a) of said parts (15, 16) placed inside the cage (1).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
64 words
The jack according to claim 1, wherein the trains of rollers (17, 18) have a position providing that, by a voluntary action on cam lever (14) or by inertia, said rollers will climb on inner ramps of the parts (15, 16) in order to block the cage (1) on the stem (23) for avoiding any untimely relative displacement of the two parts (FIG. 4).
