Description
Description After years of doing my own mechanical repairs on my own vehicles, I realized that my back and legs could not handle the stress of laying, or leaning over an engine, in an engine compartment, of a motor vehicle, from this came the invention of the "Mechanics Backease". The Backease starts with ( 1 ) the base, which is constructed of 32mm square tubing, horizontally on the floor it has a 100-degree bend, extruding upwards. (S) The upright extendible support, constructed of 26mm.tubing, with an 80 degree angle, horizontally extending outward 46mm, this extension accepts, over top it, the 32 mm square extendible tubing, (9) which attaches to the padded support, tool and parts tray (8). The base ( I ) has on either end, wheels (10) and (11). The rear wheels (1 I ), are locking wheels. After the bend extruding upwards on the base ( 1 ) is the adjustable step (2). The step is attached to the adjuster's (3) which adjusts by sliding up or down the upright extensions ( 1 ) on the base. They are locked in place by (4) the pull and turn spring tension device, which is attached to (3), the step adjusters.
This (4) is a 6mm pin, inserted through the sliders (3) into (1) The base uprights, and {S) the support uprights. The adjuster's (3) have diagonal crossbracing (12) attached to the center of the step (2), from the top of the step adjuster's {3). The support pad is centered on the tool and parts tray (8), which is, attached to 32mm tubing (9) that is adjustable, horizontally over (S) the top extension, thus enabling the support tool and parts tray (8) to extend out an additional 10 cm. There are 8mm holes (6) in the base uprights ( 1 ) for the adjustment of the step (2), as well as the adjustable support (S). Theses are all locked in place by (4) the pull and turn locking device, when they are in an extended position. The base ( 1 ) is 32mm, 14 gauge square tubing.88 cm long with a bend extruding vertically upwards 80 cm. The step (2) is 16 gauge, 61 em. Long by 1 Scm.
Wide, with 26mm.
Bends, downward on both sides and 1 S cm. Upward bends at each end attaching the step to the adjuster's {3). The step adjusters (3) are 30cm. Long, 14- Gauge Square tubing, adjusting the step from its lowest point floor level up to a height of 4Scm. The diagonal crossbracing ( 12) is 12-gauge, 2Smm wide by 4S-cm long, flat iron. The upright extendible body support (S) is a 46cm.
Long 14- gauge square tubing with an 80-degree bend, 16-em. From the bottom, which extends horizontally out 46 cm., acting as the deck support, which accepts the over top, it the telescoping deck supports (9) the deck support (S) extends upward, from a deck height of 87 cm. From the floor to a maximum height of 138 cm. The sliding deck supports {9) are 30 cm.
Long, 14 gauge square tubing, which attaches to the tools and parts tray (8) with the the padded support (7) in the centre. The tool and parts tray (8) is 30cm. Wide by 81 cm. Long, made of 16-gauge sheet metal, with folded ends and sides, with welded corners. The padded support (7) is constructed of folded 16-gauge sheet metal, 30by30cm. At a 6 degree angle with a 51 mm. Foam on top, both covered with vinyl leather.
This (4) is a 6mm pin, inserted through the sliders (3) into (1) The base uprights, and {S) the support uprights. The adjuster's (3) have diagonal crossbracing (12) attached to the center of the step (2), from the top of the step adjuster's {3). The support pad is centered on the tool and parts tray (8), which is, attached to 32mm tubing (9) that is adjustable, horizontally over (S) the top extension, thus enabling the support tool and parts tray (8) to extend out an additional 10 cm.
