Because of its shape, the housing may conveniently be formed of a metal stamping, or of plastic.

Abstract: A tie down bracket is provided which is formed of a looped rod-like member, and which may be conveniently welded or bolted to trailers, or other vehicles or structures. The configuration of the bracket is such that it can conveniently be welded or bolted to the frame of the vehicle by two separate welds, or two separate pairs of bolts, disposed at 90.degree. to one another for enhancing the tie down strength.

Abstract: A simplified and economical flat bar torsion spring suspension assembly for trailers or other vehicles which extends between two wheels of the vehicle and which comprises a flat torsion bar for each wheel, each end of the torsion bar being received in a sliding fit in a corresponding socket. A socket at the end of the torsion bar adjacent to the corresponding wheel is rotatably mounted in the a housing which can double as frame of the trailer, and the socket at the other end of the torsion bar is held against rotation by the frame. A radial arm is attached to the rotatable socket and the corresponding wheel of the vehicle is mounted on the end of the radial arm. In the embodiments to be described, the housing for the suspension assembly can be used as the frame of the vehicle or merely a convenient package for ease of attachment and containment of a possibly cumbersome assembly.

Abstract: A mount is provided for securing a jack to the tongue of a trailer, and the like. The mount in one embodiment includes two separate brackets, each having a gusset-like configuration; the brackets being welded or bolted to the tongue in position such that the forward edges of a pair of upright sides of each of the brackets engages the jack in essentially diametrically opposite relationship to the jack. These edges are welded to the jack, and the resulting assembly provides a rugged, rigid, strong and simple mount for the jack. In a second embodiment the mount is formed of a single piece.

Abstract: Brackets are provided for mounting a tool box over the wheel of a trailer in place of the fender. The brackets are intended to be attached to the fender support mounts, or to any bracket secured to the frame of the trailer. They are configured to support the tool box with the tool box being bolted at each end to the respective brackets. The brackets have a feature in that identical brackets can be used in each pair without any need for making a different bracket for each end of the tool box, and also in that the brackets of each pair can be spaced to accommodate different sized tool boxes. Moreover, the brackets themselves may serve as containers is so desired.
