Abstract:

A bootjack having a front part with a V-shaped opening at one end is hinge connected at its opposite end to the abutting end of a rear part. The parts are pivoted into the bottom face folded position for ease in transport and storage. A bifurcated leg is hinged to the front part forwardly of the hinge connection between the two parts and a bifurcated latch yoke is hinged at one end to the leg, just above the contact point with the underlying support surface when in unfolded and locked position, and is hinged at its opposite end to the rear part beyond the hinge joint between the two parts. This forms a right angle positive latch for the leg which is pivoted to a position where it is generally perpendicular to the front part when the bootjack is in extended position for rigidifying the assembly and supporting the same in upwardly inclined position with respect to the underlying support surface. A rubber stop on the outboard end of the hinged rear part acts as a brake resisting movement of the boot and the stop moves into the gap between the bifurcated latch yoke and leg when the front and rear parts are folded against each other.
