  • Patent number: 6378888
    Abstract: A trailer assembly for collecting litter. The trailer assembly includes a carrying member for collecting litter, a support frame for supporting said carrying member and a pair of wheels for making the trailer assembly mobile. The carrying member includes a top portion that has least one aperture for allowing litter to be placed in the carrying member. The support frame includes a main support portion. A distal end of the main support portion is pivotally coupled to a lower medial portion of the carrying member. The carrying member further has a rear portion. The rear portion is pivotally coupled to a rear top end of the top portion. A lower end of the rear portion extends away from a lower back portion of the carrying member when the carrying member is pivoted relative to the main support portion of said support frame. Thus any litter in the carrying member is forced out when the carrying member is pivoted relative to the main support portion of the support frame.
