Abstract:

A support rod that is engageable with the bottom surface of an existing scissor jack. The rod includes an adjustable top portion selectively movable between raised and lowered positions. An elongated and portable support rod is removably engageable with the jack. The rod is provided with axially opposed end portions wherein one end portion has a bored surface for contacting the jack and another end portion is supported on the ground surface. The rod further includes a leg portion removably securable to another coupling that includes a compression-type fitting for adjusting a length of the rod. The leg portion further includes a shoe pivotally attached to a lower end portion thereof and for assisting to maintain the rod at a substantially stable position. A second rod should be symmetrically positioned opposite the first rod and against a second scissor jack on the opposite side of the vehicle, for providing necessary support.
