Abstract

A motorcycle lifting tool includes a main body, a support member, a hold seat, a fixing member, and an adjustment support device. The main body has a first end and a second end foldable against each other. The second end stands on the ground. The support member is linearly disposed at the first end and has a screw end and a support end, wherein the screw end is exposed at the outer side of the first end. The hold seat is screwed to the screw end for holding the rear wheel of the motorcycle. The fixing member removably fixes the support member to the main body. The adjustment support device is disposed between the main body and the support member for supporting the support end. When the fixing member is removed, the adjustment support device drives the support member to move outward from the main body.

Claims

1. A motorcycle lifting tool, comprising:

a main body provided with a first arm and a second arm that are pivotally connected and foldable against each other, with a second end disposed at the second arm, and a first end disposed at the first arm and away from the second end, such that the first end and the second end are foldable and expandable against each other, and the second end is allowed to stand on a ground surface;

a support member slidably disposed at the first end of the main body and arranged in linear alignment to the first end, the support member including a screw end and a support end, the screw end exposed at an outer side of the first end, the support end disposed in the main body;

a holding seat screwed to the screw end for supporting a rear wheel of the motorcycle;

a fixing member removably fixing the support member to the main body; and

an adjustment support device connected between the main body and the support member for supporting the support end of the support member;

when the fixing member is removed from the main body, the adjustment support device is allowed to drive the support member to be projected from the main body.

2. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 1, wherein the main body includes a first fixing bore, and the support end includes a second fixing bore, such that the fixing member passes through the first fixing bore and the second fixing bore for fixing the support member to the main body.

3. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 2, wherein the adjustment support device includes an operation handle and a linkage;

the operation handle has one end thereof pivotally connected with the main body, and the another end thereof exposed at the main body, the linkage has one end thereof connected with the support end, and the other end thereof connected with the operation handle.

4. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 3, wherein the linkage is pivotally connected between the two ends of the operation handle through a pivot axle;

the operation handle is pivotally connected with the main body through a fixing axle;

a length between the pivot axle and the fixing axle is smaller than a length between the pivot axle and a free end of the operation handle.

5. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 3, wherein the linkage includes a positioning bore;

when the operation handle is shifted to sway against the main body, the linkage drives the support member to slidingly move, such that the positioning bore is in alignment with the first fixing bore, so that the fixing member passes through the positioning bore and the first fixing bore to achieve a positioning function.

6. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 5, wherein the main body includes an opening through which the operation handle is exposed at an outer side of the main body;

the fixing member includes an insertion portion and a ring-pull, and the insertion has an end thereof provided with a positioning ball which is allowed to project from or be pressed into the insertion portion.

7. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 1, wherein a position limiting plate is disposed at the first end of the main body, with the support member passing through the position limiting plate;

a resilient member is disposed between the position limiting plate and the support member, so as to permanently push the support member toward the adjustment support device.

8. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 1, further comprising a rotation axle and a pin, the rotation axle pivotally connected between the first arm and the second arm, the pin removably passing through the first arm and the second arm;

when the pin is removed, the first arm and the second arm are allowed to be pivotally folded against each other with the rotation axle as a pivoting center.

9. The motorcycle lifting tool of claim 1, wherein the holding seat includes a pipe portion, and the pipe portion is internally provided with an inner thread which is screwedly combined with the screw end.
