Abstract
A connecting bracket for a tripod support comprises a trapezoidally shaped base plate, two hollow cylindrically shaped receptacles mounted on the same side of the base plate at the inclining ends thereof, and an elongated metal rod receptacle mounted on the other side of the base plate at the center thereof. The rod comprises an upper leg-engaging portion and a lower hook-shaped portion. The tripod support formed thereby can be used to support a winch assembly as well as the object to be lifted, i.e. an automobile engine. In another embodiment, the two cylindrical receptacles are replaced by elongated metal rods.
