A horizontally disposed hollow sleeve is secured to the upper end of the upper support frame and a screw jack is provided for adjusting the height of the sleeve relative to the lower support frame. A support bracket assembly is pivotally mounted in the sleeve for swinging movement about a horizontal axis and a pair of pivoted clamps adapted to engage the cavitation plates on the housing of a stern drive unit are pivotally mounted on the support bracket assembly for pivotal adjusting movement about a second horizontal axis orthogonal to the first horizontal axis. The clamps may be secured in any desired pivoted position and limit stops are provided to limit the pivoting movement of the clamps.Field of SearchOPPOSED SHELF-TYPE ELEVATOR AND TRANSPORTERLoad bridging vehicle Having elevating load body LOAD SUPPORT HAS LINEAR VERTICAL MOVEMENT AND ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT FOR ALIGNING AND MOUNTING LOAD AT A SPECIFIC LOCATION Additional movement is rotational Movable about horizontal axis Movable rigid jaw clamping type Tilting carrier Sectional platform type On portable (e.g., vehicle-mounted, etc.) elevator Carrier comprises spaced, elongated, horizontally coplanar, load-supporting members, at least one being movable Carrier comprises spaced, elongated, horizontally coplanar, load-supporting members, at least one being movable Pivotable in horizontal plane And otherwise movable therein Pivotable in horizontal plane And otherwise movable therein Shiftable in horizontal plane perpendicularly to axis of elongation Adjustable WITH GROUND TRAVERSING MEANS Set screw type With plural means for changing holder positions | |
