Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 251 words
A vehicle selective jacking system comprising: an air compressor secured to a vehicle and powered by the electrical system of said vehicle; an air jack secured to each axle of said vehicle; at least one length of tubing connected to said air compressor at one end and connected to said air jack at the other end; and a control panel electrically coupled to said air compressor selectively controlling air pressure to said air jack for elevating or descending said vehicles; wherein each said air jack includes at least one U-clamp surrounding said axle and engaging said air jack by a fastener to thereby mount said air jack on said axle; wherein said air compressor includes: at least one support bracket surrounding said air compressor and secured to a bottom surface of said vehicle; an accessory outlet for coupling to an air impact wrench; and a cap removably coupled to said accessory outlet for preventing debris from collecting within said accessory outlet; wherein said control panel includes: a switch electrically coupled to said air compressor for controlling said air pressure to said air jack; and at least one mounting bracket secured to said control panel for securing said control panel within said vehicle; wherein a handle is mechanically coupled to said air compressor for manually pumping said air compressor upon loss of electrical power from said vehicle; wherein said control panel includes at least one switch electrically coupled to said air compressor for controlling said air pressure to each said air jack.
