摘要： In conjunction with a cycle trailer having a frame the front reach of which consists of rounded tubing or bar, a universal-joint hitch consisting essentially of two diametrically opposed wafer-like sector bearings each of which contains on its face multiple diametrally disposed sector channels, in order to render easy the assembly of the trailer to one such sector channel in the bearings. The bearings include trunnions and integral annular thrust surfaces on their opposite faces. Through the thrust surfaces, the bearings are constrained to bear on the rounded tubing or bar of the frame from opposite directions by clamping and mounting arrangements which may include a hinge on one side of the bearings and a hand nut on the opposite side. This hand nut, when employed, is restrained from unwanted loosening by contrived interference or engagement, most conveniently through glancing interference of protrusions of its handle with the trunnion of one sector bearing. The hitch may be mounted sandwich-wise to the rear frame of the cycle by a single bolt and a sandwich plate or member which embraces a slot disposed in such wise that easy but secure assembly of the hitch to the cycle is enabled. A convenient arrangement is described for suspending a bag from the frame of a trailer while allowing easy removal of the bag when desired.

摘要翻译： 结合具有框架的循环拖车，其前端由圆形管道或杆组成，通用铰接构架基本上由两个直径相对的晶片状扇形轴承组成，每个轴承在其表面上包含多个直径设置的扇形通道， 以便将拖车容易地组装到轴承中的一个这样的扇形通道。 轴承包括耳轴和其相对面上的整体环形推力表面。 通过推力表面，通过夹紧和安装布置，轴承受到相反方向的限制，从而可以承载在框架的圆形管道或杆上，夹紧和安装方式可能包括轴承一侧的铰链和相对侧的手螺母。 这种手螺母在使用时通过设计的干扰或接合来限制不必要的松动，最方便地通过扫视其手柄的突起与一个扇形轴承的耳轴的干涉。 挂钩可以通过单个螺栓和包含以这样的方式布置的狭槽的夹心板或构件以夹紧的方式夹紧在循环的后框架上，使得搭接件能够容易而安全地组装到循环。 描述了一种方便的布置，用于在拖车的框架上悬挂袋子，同时在需要时容易地移除袋子。
