Abstract: A trailer includes a set of removable castor wheels attached to a rear portion thereof, wherein the castor wheels are oriented to face rearwardly when the trailer is oriented in the traditional horizontal position. This arrangement allows the trailer to be tilted upwardly into a vertical orientation so that it rests on the castor wheels, thus providing an apparatus and method for easily moving and storing trailers more efficiently due to the reduced footprint required for such trailer storage. The castor wheels, in one embodiment, include mounting brackets that may be attached to the trailer using a securing rod, similarly to the mounting mechanisms commonly used for removably attaching trailer hitches into trailer hitch sleeves, thus rendering the castor wheels removable from the trailer when they are not in use for storage purposes.

Abstract: A combination camp and utility trailer is disclose comprising a trailer frame having a trailer floor, and a first and second trailer side extending longitudinally along opposing sides of the trailer floor. A first and second bed support are detachably carried by the first and second trailer sides. A pair of front pivotal gates and a pair of rear pivotal gates are carried by the first and second trailer sides at the front and rear of the trailer. The front and rear pivotal gates pivot approximately 180° to locate beneath the first and second bed supports in the pivot position. The first and second bed supports may be removed and stored to provide a utility space in a utility trailer configuration.

Abstract: A motorcycle hitch assembly is disclosed for attachment to a hitch support on a motorcycle for towing a trailer. The hitch assembly comprises a base and a pivotal trailer ball carried by the base for being coupled with the trailer coupling. The trailer ball includes a ball element and a ball shank extending from the ball element having a free end. A pivot support connects the base and the ball shaft so that the trailer ball and base pivot relative to each other generally in a vertical plane so that the trailer ball remains generally vertical as the motorcycle and base lean during turning. A clearance space defined between the free end of the shank and a bottom of the base allow the trailer ball to pivot freely in a vertical plane. Binding between the trailer coupler and the trailer ball element is reduced during turning.

Abstract: A muti-function mechanic's creeper having a plurality of functional positions. The creeper includes a frame assembly having a base, middle, and head sections pivotally connected. Interlinking connectors are carried by the frame assembly for connecting the base, middle, and head sections to configure the creeper between different functional positions including a flat creeper position, an intermediate inclined headrest position, and a folded position. A rotatable frame assembly is rotatably carried by the head section on which a head cushion is affixed. The head cushion may be rotated to opposite sides of the head section depending on the creeper's configuration to provide either a headrest, a bare utility shelf for carrying items, or a cushioned seat on which the mechanic can sit.

Abstract: A transformable mechanic's creeper is disclosed having an elongated creeper frame which includes a base and a seat assembly interconnected by at least one interlinking connector pivotally connected to the base and the seat assembly. The interlinking connector has a first pivot position in which the seat assembly is positioned generally in horizontal alignment with the base for defining a creeper position, and a second pivot position in which the seat assembly is positioned generally in vertical alignment with the base to define a seating position wherein the seat assembly and the base support a worker in an upright seating position. A removable insert pad carried within the elongated creeper frame supports a worker in a supine position support.
