Abstract
Description
Technical description:
[0001] The invention relates to a mobile, modular support unit for the temporary stabilization of vehicle bodies, in particular of camping vehicles.
[0002] The support consists of an aluminum body (102) with a universal mount (100) at the top for standard rubber jack pads. This mount allows for flexible use under different vehicle types by adapting to different vehicle underbody geometries.
[0003] A height-adjustable threaded rod (108) made of stainless steel (VA) is integrated into the aluminum body (102). This threaded rod allows precise height adjustment of the support to suit the specific situation and floor conditions. To fix the set height, the support is equipped with a contact or locking unit (104), which prevents the threaded connection from loosening under load.
[0004] At the lower end of the threaded rod (108) is an articulated foot (110), which allows for compensation for unevenness in the surface. The articulated foot (110) is pivotally mounted and adapts to the angle of the surface (112) to ensure a stable, tilt-free support. Additionally, the articulated foot is provided with an anti-slip rubber coating on its underside, which effectively prevents the support from slipping on smooth or sloping surfaces. Special features: ▪ Universal holder (100) for jack rubber pads for compatibility with different vehicle types ▪ Aluminum body (102) with high strength and low weight ▪ Height adjustment via stainless steel threaded rod (108) ▪ Mechanical safety unit (104) against unintentional adjustment ▪ Articulated foot (110) for adaptation to uneven floor surfaces ▪ Anti-slip rubber coating on the underside of the joint foot (110) ▪ Modular design for easy handling and storage Area of application:
[0005] The support is designed especially for temporary use in the areas of camping, vehicle maintenance or mobile vehicle support, but can also be used in other areas of mobile vehicle technology.
Claims
[1] Vehicle support unit, characterized by a modular aluminium body (102) with a receptacle (100) for attaching commercially available jack rubber pads in the upper area, a height-adjustable threaded rod (108) made of stainless steel (VA), a mechanical locking unit (104) for locking the height adjustment on the threaded rod (108) and a jointly mounted foot (110) for stabilisation on uneven ground (112), wherein the jointed foot (110) is provided on its underside with a non-slip rubber coating. [2] Vehicle support unit according to claim 1, characterized by , that the receptacle (100) in the upper area is cylindrical or cup-shaped in order to accommodate various jack rubber pads in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner. [3] Vehicle support unit according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by, that the height adjustment is carried out by turning the threaded rod (108) inside the aluminium body (102), whereby a knurled lock nut or contact plate (104) secures the set height. [4] Vehicle support unit according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the articulated foot (110) is ball-bearing mounted or pivotable to compensate for inclination angles of the substrate (112) up to 15°. [5] Vehicle support unit according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the non-slip rubber coating on the underside of the joint foot (110) consists of an abrasion-resistant elastomer and is applied over a surface or integrated in a form-fitting manner. [6] Vehicle support unit according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that all components of the support for mobile use are made of corrosion-resistant materials, in particular aluminium and stainless steel. [7] Vehicle support unit according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the modular design allows for tool-free disassembly and storage.
