Mechanical jack:
This
mechanically operated jack will take the movement of the shaft to lift the
cars. There is a big reason for choosing this mechanical jack instead of the
traditional mechanical jack using hands to revolve the lever in order to lift
the car. Those traditional jacks require a solid base surface to rest and then
lifting is made possible. But in the deserts we cannot expect a solid base
surface as we can only find uneven surface of sand buns for miles and miles.
This was the concept came after a long study of the shaft movement. It will
take the same movement of the shaft which rear wheel drives take to move the tires.
This jack will be installed in a box and will be located ahead of the tires, a
possible place where a good lift can be achieved. With the help of a set of
worm gear train, movement which was being given to the rear wheel drive will be
taken by the gears and transfer the same to the jack which will lift the car.
Parts of the mechanical jack:
This jack will require couple of parts that will combine
together forming a mechanical jack. These parts will have their own functions
and based on it there classification will be explained.
Gear lever:
The set of gear will be added as an extra unit in the
dashboard of the car. This set of gear will operate the worm gear fitted
besides the jack, covering the shaft. This will be a set of two levers, one
will activate the jacking mode while preventing the movement of the car by
restricting the movement given to the rear wheel drive, and the other lever
will control the amount of lift required to overcome the situation of getting
stuck.
Actual
working of the gear will take place when the car gears are adjusted in neutral.
Settings will be so done in the way that the jacking levers will operate only
when the car gears are adjusted in neutral gears. Once this gear has been set
into neutral, operation of jacking levers will take place. As mentioned above,
the 2 sets of a gear will be responsible to activate the movement of the
jacking gear where as other will be responsible to give the lift. Now the first
lever will be set in a position to activate the jacking medium which will stop
the movement of the shaft given to rear wheel drive while using the movement to
operate the worm gear transmission. Once the worm gear has accepted the
movement and started to move, second lever will be used to provide the desired
lift to the car.
