Abstract:
A portable towing system for a motorcycle or similar vehicle, such as a trike, the frame of which can be lowered to ground level to facilitate loading of the motorcycle or similar vehicle by pushing or riding the vehicle onto the frame without risk of the vehicle falling off the sides of a steeply inclined ramp. The towing system may be assembled, raised, lowered, and disassembled by a single person, if desired. The raising and lowering of the frame is effected by a lifting and lowering mechanism connected with the wheel assemblies.
Abstract:
A portable hoist assembly for lifting, relocating and lowering loads includes a trailer that is both wheeled and configured to couple to a vehicle. A power module, a lift arm and an actuator are coupled to the trailer. The actuator is operationally coupled to the power module and the lift arm. A fastener is operationally coupled proximate to a second end of the lift arm. The fastener is configured to couple the lift arm to a load. The actuator is positioned to motivate the lift arm and the fastener upwardly and downwardly. The load that is coupled to the lift arm is elevated from a first resting position to a raised position, repositioned by movement of the trailer, and lowered from the raised position to a second resting position.

A portable towing system for a motorcycle or similar vehicle, such as a trike, the frame of which can be lowered to ground level to facilitate loading of the motorcycle or similar vehicle by pushing or riding the vehicle onto the frame without risk of the vehicle falling off the sides of a steeply inclined ramp. The towing system may be assembled, raised, lowered, and disassembled by a single person, if desired. The towing system also comprises a cargo box to store the frame when disassembled. The raising and lowering of the frame is effected by a lifting and lowering mechanism connected with the wheel assemblies, and at least three heights of the frame are achieved by rotation of the lifting and lowering mechanism of the wheel assemblies. The cargo box and the frame can use the wheel assemblies interchangeably.
Abstract:
A transshipment implement for agricultural products, comprising a wheeled cart of the kind towable by a tractor; a complementary structure assembled over the cart; a dumper supported over the cart which has the ends of the upper edge of one of its side walls hinged to the corresponding points of the complementary structure, wherein it is tilted at an angle slightly greater than 90°; and an unloading and cleaning transshipment belt with an edge hinged in adjacent alignment to the same hinging edge of the dumper. The transshipment belt moves from a vertical position to a horizontal position, wherein, in the first position, the belt remains juxtaposed to the corresponding wall of the dumper, being embedded for the transport of the implement, while the second position is an unloading position for movement of the product received in the dumper to another receptacle, such as the compartment of a larger transportation vehicle.
Abstract:
A system for dual-attachment of a trailer to a vehicle by either manually or robotically so that the trailer becomes a laterally-stable extension of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A mission adaptable multi-purpose, collapsible portable cart/utility table, for use in emergency response and disaster situations, camping, hunting and other outdoors activities, which carries medical rescue carts, canoes, small boats, game, or hauled cargo by hand. It transports one or more cargo bins over long, rough terrain and each bin can include one or more cabinet drawers therein, wherein upon tilting of a cargo bin from a horizontal transport position to a substantially vertical position the cargo bin serves as a supply cabinet. Each bin is openable to expose the supply drawers for use.
Abstract:
A trailer 10 having a trailer assembly 20 which is adapted to be deployed on a tongue 12 and which provides a storage box 170 and a container 180.

Abstract:
A transport vehicle includes a bed formed in the rear end thereof. A base is seated on the bed and supports a load-bearing platform opposing the bed forming a storage space therebetween and an opening therebetween into the storage space at the rear end of the vehicle. A wheeled trailer is also provided, which is positionable in the storage space, is removable from the storage space, and has a hitched drawbar engagable to a tow bat secured to the rear of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A folding structure of a carrier includes an expansion member connected between a base frame and an extension member. As the expansion member pivotally passes through the point of over-tangency (the turning point of balance of force), the extension member is extended or folded due to a liner bias force provided by the expansion member and also due to the change in length of the expansion member. For example, the expansion member starts to elongate itself when passing through the point of over-tangency, generating a force to extend the extension member in an extended position automatically.
