Abstract: A modular harness device for supporting fish hooks and the like from a fishing line such that fish are prevented from swallowing the hook more than mouth deep. The device includes a vertical support shank suspended from the fishing line, at least one tubular lateral support connected to and extending laterally from the shank, and fish hook attachment structure for attaching a fish hook spaced a fixed distance from the vertical support. In one embodiment, there are two spaced coaxial lateral tubular supports with a removable guard wire or connector bar bridges the space between the supports upon insertion through the tubular lateral supports. In a further embodiment, the invention includes one or more rigid extension members removably connected to the harness for supporting a plurality of fish hooks or lures a fixed distance from the vertical support, the extension members engaging the connector bar to provide a built-in swing limit function.

Abstract: A device for supporting fish hooks and the like from a fishing line such that fish are prevented from swallowing the hook more than mouth deep. The device includes a vertical shank suspended from the fishing line, a lateral guard member attached to the shank, and a support for attaching the fish hook at or below the level of the guard structure. In one embodiment, the lateral guard is a removable guard wire which is frictionally locked to the shank upon insertion through tubular lateral supports. In a further embodiment, the invention includes a swing limit retainer to prevent the fish hook from snagging on the guard wire.

Abstract: A vehicle transport tractor and trailer of the stinger-steered type including a specialized sliding track and pivotal head ramp used in connection with the tractor. The combination is capable of transporting a load of nine large cars, or as many as ten small cars with equal facility. The tractor and trailer combination is likewise capable of handling an important variety of mixed loads which are commercially needed and include vans and pick-up trucks as well as conventional cars and station wagons.

Abstract: A vehicle transport trailer including a low bed trailer capable of transporting a load of six full-sized sedans, a load of six pick-up trucks, a mixed load of vans and full-sized sedans, and further mixed loads of pick-up trucks, vans, compact sedans and other vehicles. The vehicle transport trailer in one embodiment relates to a load carried entirely within the limits and confines of a trailer structure without requiring storage of any vehicle on or above the tractor drawing the trailer. An optional embodiment includes the combination of a trailer constructed in accordance with the present invention, and further including an above the tractor cab arrangement for an additional vehicle. These referred to load arrangements are made possible by particular track and elevating mechanism arrangements and in some cases by a particular orientation of the vehicles with a loading sequence related to their relative position on the trailer.

Abstract: A vehicle transport trailer including a low bed trailer capable of transporting a load of seven full size station wagons and sedans, a load of five pick-up trucks and one intermediate size sedan, a load of ten sub-compact size cars and a broad variety of mixed loads of pick-up trucks, vans, intermediate size sedans, full size sedans, sub-compact and the like cars. The vehicle transport trailer relates to a load of automotive vehicles which are carried entirely within the limits and confines of the self-contained trailer structure without requiring storage of any vehicle on or above the tractor used to draw the trailer. The several embodiments of the invention are made possible by particular specialized track and track elevating mechanism constructions, and in some cases by a particular orientation of the loaded and carried vehicles with a loading sequence related to their relative positions on the trailer.
