Abstract: A motorcycle transport rack includes a pivotable crescent shaped channel cradling the front wheel of a motorcycle. The motorcycle front wheel is rolled into the channel causing the channel to pivot forward, lock in place and rise rearwardly preventing rearward exiting of the motorcycle while in place. The crescent shaped cradle holds the motorcycle in place without the need for raising the front or rear wheels of the motorcycle over an impediment blocking its removal. An optional guide base member is provided. The motorcycle transport rack can be used to tow disabled motorcycles or transport motorcycles in use.

Abstract: A wheel lift tow accessory device includes coupling knuckles which are pinned to the ends of the piston rods of two hydraulic cylinders, which are used to deploy and retract the rotatable arms of the wheel lift arm accessories. A plate of the wheel lift arm accessory has a recess to couple with a groove in the attachment knuckle. The plate is welded to the rotating subassembly of each of the two wheel lift arm accessories. A rotary cam pin lock is securely welded to the same subassembly and positioned in registration with the open end of the recess is used to lock the knuckle securely in place or to permit its withdrawal from the recess when detaching each removable wheel lift arm.

Abstract: An assembly of three useful components for towing, such as a unique three stage telescopic boom, a tow bar assembly and a wheel lift assembly. The boom has a cable winch and cable for lifting and accommodating the tow bar assembly, which are both available to tow a disabled vehicle, in conjunction with the alternate wheel lift assembly operable off the rear deck of a tow truck. The tow truck wrecker has three significant towing components not combined in other tow trucks. The three necessary components organized under the present invention are always accessible and easily stored in respective positions, which minimize visual obstructions to the tow truck operator from within the cab of the tow truck wrecker.

Abstract: A rear-lifting cradle lifts the rear of a modern transit bus by a wrecker even if it not designed for such lifting. A minimum of bus modification is needed for the use of this cradle. The cradle includes an assemblage of robust steel tube members including a crossbar, two frame extenders, and two slider arms. The bus modifications include replacing the rear plate of each of the two rear axle stabilizers. The two frame extenders couple into square holes in the replaced rear stabilizer plates while the posts bear on the top surface of the frame extenders. The slider arms have short columns and locator pins, which fit into the holes of the rear jacking plates, which are part of the bus. When the upwardly open forks of the lifting arms of a wrecker engage the crossbar of this rear-lifting cradle, the bus is lifted with the major stresses coupled into the main structural bus frame. Any residual lifting stresses are spread into the two rear jacking points, which are sufficiently robust to accept jacking stresses.

Abstract: A combination beverage tray and sun visor comprised of a beverage tray having raised side walls and including a pre-formed perforation along a portion of the junction of the base of said tray and the side walls wherein the base may be separated from the sidewalls thereby forming an opening which allows the beverage tray to be converted into a sun visor and worn upon one's head.

Abstract: A slot machine device of substantially electronic construction including a changeable display provided by activatable matrices, a pseudo random number generator for producing stored information on demand in an apparently random manner, and a microprocessor connected between the number generator and display for effective cooperation therebetween to produce an apparently randomly selected character display.
