Abstract: An inflatable packaging assembly (10) comprising a container (12) and a flexible bag (28). The container (12) has a base (14) and a number of upstanding walls (16) extending from the base (14) to a container opening (18) for receiving and storing a package item (20). One of the upstanding walls (16) includes an aperture (26) passing through the wall (16). The bag (28) includes first (30) and second (32) bag panels having peripheral edges (34) sealed together to define an inflatable chamber. A bag opening (36) extends through a portion of the sealed edges (34) for receiving a fluid medium to inflate the bag (28). A filling valve (38) extends through the bag opening (36) and into the inflatable chamber. The filling valve (38) includes a flexible sealing port (40) and a filling tube (46). The filling tube (46) has a first end (48) secured to the sealing port (40) and a semi-rigid second end (50) extending out from the bag opening (36).

Abstract: A mount is provided for secure mounting on one end of a vehicle and an elongated arm has a first end thereof provided with support structure for supporting a vehicle wheel therefrom with the medial plan of the wheel generally paralleling the arm. Mounting structure is also provided for mounting the second end of the arm from the mount for angular displacement relative thereto about a first horizontal axis generally normal to the aforementioned plane between a raised upright position with the first end of the arm uppermost and a generally horizontal position with the arm first end swung downwardly to a horizontal position. The mounting structure also mounts the second arm end for swinging relative to the mount about an upright axis, whereby the wheel supporting arm may first be swung across the associated vehicle end from an upright position to a horizontal position and then may be swung outwardly from the corresponding vehicle end.
