Abstract: A device is provided for use in installing a resilient replacement hand grip onto the handle portion of a manual implement particularly such as a baseball or softball bat after a worn grip has been removed. The installation device comprises a circular array of elongated leaf-type guide springs suspended from an upper platform to define a cylindrical column for supporting a sleeve-shaped replacement hand grip in a partially radially expanded condition. The knob end of the bat adjacent the handle portion is inserted downwardly through a central opening in the upper platform and further through the guide spring cylindrical column to a stop position seated within an aligned recess in a lower platform positioned slightly below the guide spring column and the supported hand grip. The guide springs are withdrawn upwardly through the upper platform leaving the replacement hand grip in place on the bat.

Abstract: A two wheel trailer comprising a trailer body having a deck and a pair of vertically oriented side portions which mount trunnions carrying the suspension arms of a pair of wheels. Locking mechanisms are actuable to permit downward and inward rotation of the trunnions to locate the wheels beneath the upper deck of the trailer body in a compact, recessed relation. Combined spring and shock absorber devices are carried by the trailer body for engagement with the suspension arms. An elongated towing tongue is telescopable within the trailer body. In a preferred embodiment the trailer body includes two hinged together sections, the rearward section mounting the tail lights being pivotable to underlie and enclose the retracted wheels located within the forward section. The folded sections are designed to fit within the trunk of a typical passenger vehicle.
