Abstract

See full text

A compound curved or barrel shaped contact pad for a fork lift jack includes a mounting stem diverging into a wedge-shaped contact head having a contact surface thereon for engagement with a member of a vehicle to be lifted. The contact surface has a convex front-to-back curvature and a convex transverse curvature which enable the contact surface to positively engage the vehicle member in a variety of orientations of a lift arm of a jack. The contact surface has a non-slip surface texture, such as a plurality of transversely extending serrations. The contact pad has positioning notches formed into side surfaces for cooperation with structure on the lift arm to enable the contact pad to be selectively placed in a raised deployed position or a lowered stowed position.
