Abstract: A carrier having special utility for transporting recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles and snowmobiles is designed to be used either as an independent towable trailer or, with or without such vehicles carried thereon, to be removably coupled to a towable travel trailer. This carrier includes a V frame structure having a hitch ball coupling at the apex for detachable connection to a towing vehicle and opposed wheel assemblies capable of quick and easy adjustment to be either in or out of ground engagement or, if desired, completely removed when not required. The diverging members of the carrier frame are designed to embrace and be detachably secured to a conventional tongue with a hitch ball coupling on a travel trailer, and a hitch ball is suitably mounted intermediate the diverging members of the carrier frame for registration with the standard hitch ball coupling on the trailer tongue.

Abstract: A transmission control for a motor vehicle includes a valve and a spool mounted in the valve biased to extend therefrom. A spool actuator member controls extension of the spool from the valve. A spool control member is connected to move in response to movement of an operator control. An adjustable engaging member on the spool control member moves a predetermined distance free of forced engagement with the spool actuator. Subsequently the engaging member engages and moves the spool actuating member.

Abstract: A linkage assembly coupled between a pedal, rotatable from a neutral position in either of two directions, and a transmission and a carburetor or fuel injector. The linkage assembly includes a crank rotatable in either of two directions in response to the rotation of the pedal from the neutral position and a pair of arcuate links connected between the crank and a control rod which moves in a single direction in response to movement of the crank in either direction, the carburetor increasing the speed of a vehicle engine as the rod moves in the single direction. The assembly also includes other linkage which controls the transmission to shift the vehicle either into forward or reverse drive, depending on the direction of movement of the pedal from the neutral position, at various drive ratios.
