Abstract: A motorized hammock swinging assembly automatically swings a hammock back and forth. A housing has a motor operationally connected with a crankshaft assembly. A cable is attached to a crankshaft of the crankshaft assembly and to the hammock such that when the motor is operation, the crankshaft rotates causing the cable to be pulled back and forth. The reciprocating cable causes the hammock to be swayed back and forth. The housing can be frame mounted such that the frame is secured to the ground at its point of operation, or the housing can be mounted to a structure such as a tree. The motor can be run by a battery located within the housing or by a source of AC electrical power, which source can be used to charge the battery or by a solar cell.

Abstract: A vehicle alignment system for properly aligning a vehicle with respect to a trailer without requiring the vehicle operator to leave the vehicle. The vehicle alignment system includes a first telescoping rod having a first base attachable to a hitch of a trailer, and a pair of telescoping rods extending from a cross member with a center magnet attached thereto for attaching to a ball. An upper member extends between the pair of telescoping rods for indicating when the ball and the hitch are properly aligned. An indicator ball is preferably attached to a distal end of each of the telescoping rods for increasing the visual indication.
