A jack and an adaptor in combination comprising a jack base; a pair of general parallel collapsible brackets pivotally secured to said jack base; support platform means secured pivotally to the pair of collapsible brackets; a pair of support-aligning bars connected to said pair of collapsible brackets with each support-alinging bar having a structure defining a threaded aperture a threadable jack shaft passing rotatably through the threaded aperture of each support-aligning bar such that when the threadable jack shaft rotates in a predetermined direction the two support-aligning bars are pulled towards each other causing the pair of collapsible brackets to become longer lengthwise and the support platform means to travel upwardly and such that further when the threadable jack shaft rotates in a direction opposite the predetermined direction the two support-aligning bars are pushed apart with respect to each other causing the pair of collapsible brackets to become shorter lengthwise and the support platform means to travel downwardly; an adaptor housing; a drive motor means disposed in said adaptor housing; a drive shaft means releasably engaged to said threadable jack shaft to rotate the same and coupled to said drive motor means; an engagement bracket means for engaging releasably the adaptor to one of the support-aligning bars of the jack and to prevent the adaptor from turning while the drive shaft is rotating the threadable jack shaft; and means for securing and biasing the engagement bracket means against the face of the adaptor housing; said engagement bracket means comprises a structure defining a bifurcated end having a pair of bracket arms where between the threadable jack shaft passes when the adaptor is engaged to one of the support-aligning bars; said structure of said engagement bracket means additionally defines a generally straight body portion and an upright back portion integrally bound normally to said straight body portion; and said upright baack portion has a structure defining at least one aperture, and said means for securing and biasing passes through said aperture for biasingly securing the engagement bracket means to the face of the housing.
