Abstract: This invention relates to equipment for securing a truck trailer against theft by protecting the trailer kingpin against being secured by a tractor. The device employs a lock housing or body which has a hole which is adapted to fit over the trailer kingpin. A sliding member is employed to go into sliding contact with the groove in a standard trailer kingpin. The sliding member is configured with a concave edge on one end in order to contact the annular groove in the standard trailer kingpin. A slot in the sliding member is used to engage the body of a heavy duty padlock when in the locked position thus holding the sliding member in contact with the trailer kingpin. A retaining means such as a screw threadably secured to the lock body and a mating slot in said sliding member is employed to prevent the inadvertant removal of said sliding member from the lock body.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved wheelchair adapted to provide enhanced mobility for the occupant together with making ground level activities available. The wheelchair comprises a main frame together with an extension frame telescopically secured to said main frame. A seat is operably secured to the extension frame so that when the extension frame is moved away from the main frame, the seat is lowered, and when said extension frame is brought back to said main frame, the seat is raised. Means are provided for further enhancing stability in the form of a mechanism to selectively move the drive wheels apart for wider wheel tracking. A rear wheel castered to the extension frame is provided with a selectively operable torsion limiter.
