A trailer is provided with a bed and a slidably adjustable axle assembly. The bed includes a frame with left and right, inverted U-shaped channels. The axle assembly includes left and right rails upon which the channels are slidably mounted. Pins extend through the channels, but not through the rails, to limit sliding movement of the bed relative to the axle assembly. The pins are inserted into the channels with a twist lock action under spring bias. Lock members are provided to prevent accidental removal of a pin from the channel during travel. |

A tire carrier assembly is operative to provide a controlled payout of cable in response to an application of a minimum predetermined amount of force upon the tire carrier assembly. The tire carrier assembly includes a housing having a bottom wall and a side wall extending outwardly from the bottom wall defining an interior space. A rotation shaft is coupled to the housing and having a longitudinal axis. A sheave is coupled to the shaft and rotatable about the longitudinal axis. A gear member extends from the sheave and is rotatable therewith about the longitudinal axis. A pin fixedly secured to the housing. A torque plate has a gear portion epicyclically engaged with the gear member of the sheave. The torque plate has an arm portion extending generally radially outwardly with respect to the gear portion. The torque plate has a closed-ended slot formed in the arm portion and receiving the pin therethrough. The arm portion has legs extending along opposite sides of the slot. At least one of the legs has a weakened area at which the arm portion deforms in response to an application of a predetermined amount of force upon the tire carrier assembly and contacts an inner surface of the housing to provide a controlled payout of a cable from the sheave. |

A vehicle spare wheel is carried by an arm swingable about a vertical axis away from the rear of the vehicle. A powered extensible control subsequently positions the arm about a horizontal axis during wheel removal. A base is mounted on the vehicle rear bumper and supports the arm and control therefor. A latch assembly on the arm and base includes a housing that receives a ball member when the spare wheel is stowed on the vehicle. A lock biases the ball member into housing engagement. |

A concentrically shaped, moisture and dust resistant apparatus for storing tools and roadside emergency equipment. The device is designed to remain in a suspended state between the wheel of a spare tire and the underside of a motor vehicle. It is positioned above the spare tire on the metal portion of the wheel and is held in place by means of a factory installed winch system. The principal object has two separate, semi-circular compartments which, when joined, form a spherically shaped apparatus. An inner circular opening located at the mid-point of the principal object allows a spare tire retention cable and its fastening means to be received and passed through it. The arcuate exterior has positioned upon it three essentially flat and level surface segments: one at 180 degrees at the bottom of the device and two on adjacent, but opposite sides of the principal object, at 90 and 270 degrees, respectively. The flat and essentially level segments provide stability to the invention so that the device may remain in an upright position when the apparatus is in either an open or closed position. One of the storage bins is a storage compartment only, the other storage bin has within it a removable storage tray. |
