Abstract
vehicle trailer with a pair of engagement arm assemblies, one engagement arm assembly on either lateral side of the vehicle trailer, the vehicle trailer having a draw assembly for engagement with a vehicle, a chassis associated with the draw assembly and mounted on at least a pair of wheels and having at least a pair of spaced apart side rails, each side rail mounting an engagement arm assembly, each engagement arm assembly including an elongate rigid arm mounting an elongate engagement key, a first length adjustable arm associated with the elongate engagement key and a second length adjustable arm associated with the elongate rigid arm such that the elongate rigid arm can be raised and lowered to load and unload an object relative to the trailer and the elongate engagement key can be pivoted to tip an object mounted relative to the trailer.
Claims (22)
1. A vehicle trailer with engagement arm assemblies allowing for engagement and disengagement of items to be carried on or by a vehicle trailer comprising: a pair of engagement arm assemblies, wherein one said engagement arm assembly resides on either lateral side of said vehicle trailer; a draw assembly for engagement with a vehicle; and a chassis associated with the draw assembly and mounted on at least a pair of wheels and having at least a pair of spaced apart side rails, each side rail mounting an engagement arm assembly, each engagement arm assembly including: an elongate rigid arm mounting an elongate engagement key; and a first length adjustable arm associated with the elongate engagement key; wherein the elongate rigid arm can be raised and lowered to load and unload an object relative to the vehicle trailer and the elongate engagement key can be pivoted to tip an object mounted relative to the vehicle trailer; and wherein an opening is provided through the elongate engagement key and a portion of an elongate engagement keyway in order to accept a locking pin.
2. A vehicle trailer as claimed in claim 1 wherein the elongate engagement key is used to load and unload the object fitted with a corresponding elongate engagement keyway.
3. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the chassis is provided as a substantially rectangular support section provided immediately behind the draw assembly, the rectangular support section supporting the object when the object is loaded onto the vehicle trailer.
4. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein each elongate rigid arm is substantially planar and pivotally mounted relative to the chassis.
5. A vehicle trailer as claimed in claim 4 wherein at least one mounting arm is provided in order to mount the elongate rigid arm relative to a respective side rail.
6. A vehicle trailer as claimed in claim 5 wherein an inner mounting arm and an outer mounting arm are provided, each of the inner mounting arm and outer mounting arm pivotally mounted to a lower end of the elongate rigid arm and/or the respective side rail.
7. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein each elongate rigid arm is provided with a shaped portion along the length of the elongate rigid arm in order to mount a second length adjustable arm, the second length adjustable arm associated with the elongate rigid arm.
8. A vehicle trailer as claimed in claim 7 wherein the mounting portion is provided as a shaped protrusion with an engagement point for the attachment of the second length adjustable arm provided on the shaped protrusion.
9. A vehicle trailer as claimed in claim 7 or claim 8 wherein the second length adjustable arm raises and lowers the elongate rigid arm between a substantially vertical orientation and an orientation in which the second length adjustable arm is positioned to allow the object to abut a ground surface.
10. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of claims 7-9 wherein the second length adjustable arm is or includes a powered hydraulic or pneumatic ram.
11. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the first length adjustable arm is or includes a powered hydraulic or pneumatic ram.
12. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the first length adjustable arm has an upper end associated with the elongate engagement key of the engagement arm assembly and a lower end which is mounted to or relative to a respective side rail.
13. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of claims 7-10 wherein the second length adjustable arm exercises control over the position and movement of the elongate rigid arm and the first length adjustable arm exercises control over the position and orientation of the engagement key.
14. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the elongate engagement key is mounted to both the elongate rigid arm and the first length adjustable arm.
15. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims further including a transversely extending locking fastener or pin.
16. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the engagement key is substantially H-shaped in cross section having a pair of spaced apart arm portions linked by a transversely extending linking wall.
17. A vehicle trailer as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein a universal or multi axis joint is provided between the first length adjustable arm and the elongate key.
18. A vehicle trailer mounted bin system including: a vehicle trailer displaying a draw assembly for engagement with a vehicle and a chassis associated with the draw assembly where said chassis is mounted on at least a pair of wheels; at least a pair of spaced apart side rails, each side rail mounting an engagement arm assembly where each engagement arm assembly includes: an elongate rigid arm mounting an elongate engagement key; a first length adjustable arm associated with the elongate engagement key; an object having an engagement assembly on either lateral side thereof, each having an elongate keyway to receive the respective elongate engagement key therein during loading of the object on the trailer; wherein the elongate rigid arm can be raised and lowered to load and unload the object relative to the trailer and the elongate engagement key can be pivoted to tip the object mounted relative to the trailer, and wherein an opening is provided through said elongate engagement key and a portion of said elongate engagement keyway in order to accept a locking pin.
19. A vehicle trailer mounted bin system as claimed in claim 18 wherein the object is a bin and the elongate engagement keyway is provided as a slot opening formed in a substantially planar plate which is located spaced from a wall or surface of the bin such that the inner arm portion of the engagement key can be received between the substantially planar plate and the wall or surface of the bin.
20. A vehicle trailer mounted bin system as claimed in claim 19 wherein the elongate engagement keyway is provided in a raised housing portion of the bin having a part which is spaced from the wall or surface of the bin.
21. A vehicle trailer mounted bin system as claimed in claim 20 wherein the elongate slot is closed at one end.
22. A vehicle trailer mounted bin system as claimed in any one of claims 18 to 21 wherein the elongate engagement keyway is provided on a plate that can then be temporarily attached to the object to be transported. 14 22
