Abstract
A personal positioning creeper (PPC) for assisting mechanics, technicians and factory workers who need access to various angles and heights on a vehicle, aircraft, factory equipment, etc. The PPC allows the operator to simultaneously maneuver from lying supine near the ground, to moving upward and rotating into a full sitting position without having to dismount the PPC. The PPC comprises: a three member frame system (base, seat, and backrest frame connected together with eight (8) bell cranks and four (4) linkage assemblies), all under the control of a hydraulic system. The hydraulic system comprises: 1) a hydraulic pump with an ergonomically designed pump actuator handle and a release valve; and, 2) a hydraulic cylinder connected to the hydraulic pump, and to the linkage assemblies to rotate the bell cranks. The resistance to the pumping action felt by the operator remains constant regardless of the height of the seat.
