Abstract: A trailer for attachment to a towing vehicle while supporting in locked engagement elongated apparatus such as a harvesting machine elevator having flanged members extending along each side thereof. Rigid frame means are supported on a pair of wheels at one end and provided with a tongue which may be telescopingly retracted to reduce the length of the trailer for loading into and transport upon another vehicle. A pair of support members, upon which the flanged portions of the transported apparatus rest, extend laterally across the front and rear of the frame means. Two pairs of locking members are provided, one member of each pair being disposed at each end of the two support members. The locking members are rotatable to position a fixed lug above the upper surface of the associated support member thereby firmly securing the flanged member of the transported apparatus between the support member and lug.
Abstract: A light-weight tubular steel racing sulky is described which is easily assembled or dis-assembled for shipping or storage and which is easily adjustable for increasing or decreasing the load on the shafts. The racing sulky includes a horizontal crossbeam member having a pair of shafts fixed thereto and extending forwardly for support by a horse. A seat is fixed to the crossbeam rearwardly thereof and a pair of support leg assemblies are pivotally joined to the ends of the crossbeam and carry wheels at their lower extremities. A pair of adjustable struts connect the lower extremities of the support legs to the shafts at points forward of the wheels and specially designed corner brace assemblies are angularly, swingably connected between the crossbeam and the legs.
Abstract: An auxiliary rider support for jog carts incorporating an upper adjustable hook engagable over a jog cart shaft and a lower locking member threadedly engagable with the projecting end the locking member and the hook cooperates with both to enable a fixing of the support to the jog cart. The support includes a seat fixed to and overlying the hook and a footrest and guard assembly spaced therebelow.
Abstract: A racing sulky adapted to be drawn by a horse between laterally adjustable guide shafts, said sulky having rider support means including a transverse bar which journals the sulky wheels. A stabilizing bar engages the respective wheel axles, and is longitudinally adjustable to individually regulate wheel alignment.
Abstract: There is disclosed a sulky in which the coupling from the rails to the forks includes a shock-absorbing frictionally loaded lost-motion coupling which allows limited relative movement between the rails and the forks to reduce shock load transfer back and forth between the horse and the sulky, as well as reducing metal fatigue at high stress points.
Abstract: A sulky comprising a flexible arch constructed of high strength tubular steel having a streamlined cross section, the arch carrying a pair of wheels supported at its outer ends on individual axles mounted behind the torsional axis of the arch is disclosed. A pair of spaced, forwardly extending, flexible shafts are mounted at the top of the arch on either side of an adjustable driver's seat, the shafts being angled upwardly and inwardly toward each other and having a streamlined cross section which is canted outwardly. The shafts are formed of tubular, high strength, flexible steel and cooperate with the flexible arch axle to provide an interaction between the driver of the sulky, the motion of the horse, and the sulky itself to produce improved performance. Stirrup mounts for the driver's feet are secured to the shafts and are adjustable to cooperate with the adjustable driver's seat to permit optimum placement of the driver with respect to the arch axles.
Abstract: The present invention comprises a portable cutting and sewing work station in which a single axle trailer of the U-haul type is adapted in order to exhibit a plurality of cutting surfaces and equipment storage areas. Said surfaces and areas may be selectably unfolded from particular areas within the trailer in order to form the desired work station. The present structure includes a sewing machine and a seat adjacent thereto in which the trailer proper is utilized as the base or support of the mobile work station.
Abstract: Disclosed is a buggy shaft for a four wheel show buggy which attaches the buggy to the horse by means of a ball joint rather than a clevis hinge. The shaft is formed of steel tubing through its main portion and has a cast aluminum distal end. The ball joint is resiliently loaded and the shafts are filled with plastic material to avoid noise generation and transmission. A harness cleat is mounted on the cast aluminum end for securing the harness to the shafts and a tug guide is provided on the main portion of the shaft to keep the tug lines in proper position. In a modified form the buggy is connected to the horse by a center shaft which mounts to the harness collar by a ball joint and is similarly mounted to the buggy. In this form the shaft is formed entirely of steel tubing.
Abstract: A sulky hitch in the form of a generally wishbone-shaped or Y-shaped assembly having two rearwardly diverging tubular members attached to the cut-off forward ends of the conventional shafts of a sulky, upwardly and inwardly curving portions contoured to the hind quarter area of a horse and a forwardly and downwardly extending member attached to an upstanding post on the forward portion of the horse's back.
Abstract: A trailer for hay bales includes a center longitudinally extending frame member supported on a single axle having wheels at its opposite ends. The trailer is pivotal about the axis of the axle. Forwardly and rearwardly of the axle on opposite sides of the frame member are bale supports cantilevered to the main frame and extending laterally outwardly therefrom for supporting a total of four large round bales. The width of the supports is such that a pair of fork lift fingers can straddle the hay supports when a bale of hay is being transferred onto the support. A pair of center spacer telescopic posts are provided on the main frame between the bale supports.
