Tomcatz stabilizer

Abstract

The Tomcatz Stabilizer is made of steel and designed to brace 5th-wheel camper main jacks. It is used for stability to minimize motion. It will eliminate the need for other stabilizing devices such as the bipod or tripod which always need to be set-up, collapsed, and stored. The Tomcatz folds for self-storage so there is no need to remove it once it has been installed.

1 . Apparatus for stabilizing 5th-wheel campers when parked or stored, said apparatus comprising: a pair of adjustable, tubular sleeves mounted on 5th-wheel camper jack legs with the use of 2-piece mounting brackets with 1″ spacers, and L-shaped brackets. When the jack legs are lowered and the tubular sleeves are secured with locking knobs, the camper is stabilized.  
   
   
       2 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said tubular sleeve is telescopic and square relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       3 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said 2-piece mounting bracket comprised of four 90° angles and containing 6 holes for bolts and a 1″ spacer is made from flat strap steel and painted relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       4 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of aluminum relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       5 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of brass relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       6 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of copper relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       7 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of nylon relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       8 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of steel relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       9 . Apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said tubular spacer is made of plastic relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       10 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said L-shaped bracket made of painted angle iron with two holes for securing the stabilizer to the camper jack legs/frame relative to the plurality.  
   
   
       11 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said plastic locking knob with a threaded steel shaft relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       12 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said aluminum locking knob with a threaded steel shaft relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       13 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said brass locking knob with a threaded steel shaft relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       14 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said nylon locking knob with a threaded steel shaft relative to both of said sections.  
   
   
       15 . Apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said steel locking knob with a threaded steel shaft relative to both of said sections.
