This invention relates to certain new and"- useful improvements in lifting jack handles, more particularly to a foldable' jack handle adapted-to be detachably engaged with a lifting j ack and to'be rotatedto operate the jack.
\ ore specifically the j ackhandle comprises in its preferred form, a pair of pivotally connected rod sections, the free end of one of which is formed to engage with the lifting jack, and the free end of the'othersection being formed with offset crank and handle members. A slide member or loop on' one section is adapted to be engaged with an end portion of the other section to hold themembers in substantial alignment when the handle'is extended to 0 rativeposition.
The principal ob ectof this-invention is to provide an improved ac'k handle of the type briefly described hereinabove and disclosed more in detail in the specifications which follow.
Another object is to of a foldable lifting jack'handle';
' Another object is to provide an improved locking means forholding the handlesections in substantial alignment.

"Fig. 8 is a perspective view'of the pivoted end portion of one of the handle sections."
1- Figs9 is a perspective view of the locking oop. The handle comprises a pair of; rod sections A'and B, each of whichispreferably constructed of ordinary bar metal ofround I cross-section, although it will'be apparent as the description proceedsthat rod sections of other cross-section than round could be used ifdesired. The free end portion of-section A is provided with suitable means for detach} able connection with the rotary driving mechanism of the jack. In the vform hereshown the free end of section-A is'stamped into a head of somewhat enlarged square or other non-circular cross-section, as shown at 1,1 to en'gage'within a socket 2, of similar cross-section, formed in the rotatabledriving member 3,' ofthelifting jack; '(se'e'Fig. 2).
The member indicated at3 is usually a hub extending from adriving gear. or pinion mounted in the jack. Preferably a pair of locking balls 4 are mountedin a transverse channel 5 formed in the head l'andflare pressed out by an interposed spring Gagainst annular lips 7 which hold the balls'within V the channel 5.
