  • Patent number: 11390205
    Abstract: A trailer and boat covering combination system includes a trailer including a frame having a front end, a first lateral member and a second lateral member. A plurality of wheels is rotatably attached to and extends downwardly from the frame. A pair of supports is attached to the trailer such that each of the first and second lateral members has one of the supports attached thereto. A spindle is attached to and extends between the supports. The supports are pivotable forwardly and rearwardly relative to the trailer such that the spindle is movable over the trailer. The supports are biased toward an upright position. A covering is positioned on the spindle and is unwound off of the spindle to cover a boat positioned on the trailer. The covering is wound back onto the spindle to store the covering on the spindle.

  • Patent number: 8978497
    Abstract: An assembly comprises a housing, a motor within the housing, and a thrust tube with an anti-rotation mechanism. The motor comprises a hollow rotor. An externally threaded screw shaft is coupled to the hollow rotor for rotation therewith. An internally threaded nut is coupled to the externally threaded screw shaft, wherein rotation of the screw shaft causes the nut to move axially. The thrust tube is operably connected with the nut, and the anti-rotation mechanism is attached to the thrust tube to substantially prevent rotation relative the housing.
