A motorcycle hitch assembly couples a motorcycle to a trailer allowing the motorcycle to easily turn a corner. A yoke assembly connected to the motorcycle has a kingpin and a cotter-pin. A tow hitch assembly is mounted to the trailer and has an elongated towing arm with a circular socket with an inner spherical surface and a radial ball mounted on and secured to the kingpin by the cotter pin. The radial ball is supported in the circular socket of the elongated towing arm and has an outer spherical surface engaging the inner spherical surface of the circular socket for rotational movement of the radial ball about the kingpin to allow free movement of the motorcycle in various planes while maintaining the trailer in a fixed plane. The circular socket is a one piece construction or a two piece construction.

The invention relates to a trailer (2) for a bicycle (1), having a braking device acting on wheel(s) (4) of the trailer (2); a sensor device (12) which supplies a measured variable, which is a measure of an acceleration force acting on the trailer (2) via a tow bar (5); a controller (18) for controlling the braking device and that is configured to act on the braking device, depending on the measured variable determined by the sensor device (12), such that an inertial force of the trailer (2) generated in the pulling mode or during braking of the bicycle (1) is compensated for or is at least reduced; and a decoupling device (10; 410; 510) which is configured for the partial mechanical decoupling of a movement of the bicycle trailer (2) with respect to the bicycle (1) in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle trailer (L).

An insulated container configured to store cold consumables is disclosed. The container has a body having a curved track wrapping around the body and upon which the body is able to be rolled. The body has an insulated wall encompassing a cavity configured to hold at least ice and consumables.

An electric bicycle charger assembly includes a trailer that can be attached to a seat post of an electric bicycle thereby facilitating the electric bicycle to tow the trailer. A pair of wheels is each of the wheels is rotatably attached to the trailer and a pair of charging units is each integrated into a respective one of the wheels generate electricity when the trailer is being towed. Each of the charging units is electrically coupled to the electric bicycle for charging the electric bicycle. A braking system is integrated into the trailer and the braking system is in communication with a braking apparatus of the electric bicycle thereby assisting with slowing and stopping.

The present invention contemplates an apparatus for, and methods of, conveniently transporting cargo by holding cargo securely in a way using a transport apparatus that can be coupled to a vehicle, for easy and convenient transport of the cargo. The invention contemplates a transport apparatus that is capable of horizontal, vertical, telescoping, and/or rotational collapse and/or expansion. The invention contemplates wheels on a collapsed transport apparatus that make moving from place to place very convenient, whether the transport apparatus is expanded or collapsed. Embodiments can be used to secure and transport cargo such as bicycles. Embodiments of the invention allow coupling of a transport apparatus to a vehicle by use of a standard ball joint and/or trailer hitch. Other embodiments could comprise a trailer connection attachment, which can be used to couple a transport apparatus to a vehicle in cases where the vehicle lacks its own trailer hitch.

A mountable hitch frame assembly for three-wheeled vehicle that secures to the rear portion of an existing three-wheeled vehicle frame to position a hitch receiver assembly rearwardly projected overtop a rear swing arm assembly of the existing three-wheeled vehicle whereby objects and accouterments are mountable securely in tow and force and inertia exerted when towing objects and accouterments is distributable directly into the existing three-wheeled vehicle frame.

A towing frame for a bicycle includes a tow bar suitable for use with a two-wheeled style bicycle. The towing frame includes a U-shaped tow bar with mounting apertures and hardware for connection to a rear frame portions of the bicycle and a rear bracket for attachment of a towed vehicle such as a cart or wagon.

The invention relates to a trailer (2) for a bicycle (1), having a braking device acting on wheel(s) (4) of the trailer (2); a sensor device (12) which supplies a measured variable, which is a measure of an acceleration force acting on the trailer (2) via a tow bar (5); a controller (18) for controlling the braking device and that is configured to act on the braking device, depending on the measured variable determined by the sensor device (12), such that an inertial force of the trailer (2) generated in the pulling mode or during braking of the bicycle (1) is compensated for or is at least reduced; and a decoupling device (10; 410; 510) which is configured for the partial mechanical decoupling of a movement of the bicycle trailer (2) with respect to the bicycle (1) in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle trailer (L).

A cart/trailer, yoke mechanism, and hitch mechanism are disclosed. The cart/trailer could be an assembly for moving and transporting objects comprising a tow bar (synonymous herein with a handle or kickstand); a variable-positioning yoke assembly for facilitating the placement of the tow bar into positions of a towbar, handle, or kickstand; and a main structure within which equipment such as sporting accessories may be placed for transport for moving and transporting objects. The coupling device could include a main body with an inner surface, and a pair of opposing flanges extending downwardly and substantially perpendicularly away from the main body for facilitating the positioning of the yoke in variable positions. The hitch mechanism could include a hitch and interface with receiver and hitch portions for facilitating the hitching of the cart/trailer to a mobility device.
