TONGUE JACK AND COUPLER ASSEMBLY
A system for connecting a tongue jack to a trailer coupler includes a coupler, a jack plate, and a lower plate. The coupler defines a slot configured to receive an outer tube of a tongue jack. The lower plate defines an aperture configured to receive and laterally restrain the outer tube of the tongue jack. The jack plate defines an aperture configured to receive and laterally restrain the outer tube of the tongue jack and a hanger configured to be received by the slot of the coupler and supported by the coupler adjacent the slot.
Hitch receiver
A height adjustable hitch receiver is disclosed and described.
Automatic weight distribution system and method with continuous monitoring
A system for automated trailer weight distribution, including: A system for automated trailer weight distribution, having a tow vehicle with a hitch mount having a spring bar. The system may also include a trailer and a spring bar mount disposed on the trailer and having an initial position relative to the trailer, where the spring bar mount is configured to receive and engage the spring bar. Furthermore, a weight distribution measurement device disposed in association with the tow vehicle and being configured and arranged to determine a weight distribution of the tow vehicle when the spring bar is engaged with the spring bar mount and a weight distribution actuator can be configured and arranged to adjust the height of the spring bar mount while engaged with the spring bar.
Trailer Tongue System
The trailer tongue system is provided and includes a trailer frame, an arm support assembly secured to the trailer frame, and a trailer connection arm assembly. When the trailer tongue system is ready for deployment, the hydraulic system support activates. The hydraulic system support permits the arm support assembly to pivot between first position and second position depending on whether the user would like to connect or disconnect a trailer from a power vehicle. The arm support assembly enables the trailer arm of the trailer connection arm assembly to be either raised or lowered depending on whether the user would like to connect or disconnect the trailer.
Jack hitch system and device
A jack hitch system includes a jack hitch device, including an upper jack hitch assembly with an upper elongated body, left and right pivotable and extendable handlebars, an I-shaped member, a front wheel, a lifting assemblage with a interior lifting assembly, a rotatable handle and an electric engine, and a front mounting piece for connecting to a hitch mount of a vehicle, and a lower jack hitch assembly with a lower elongated body, left and right rear wheels, a rear mounting piece for mounting an accessory object. The system can include a jack hitch platform, including pivotable side panels, pivotable wheels, and a front mounting connector.
Powered trailer hitch
A trailer hitch system for coupling a vehicle to a trailer including a housing, a shaft coupled to the housing and being configured to be received within a receiver coupled to the vehicle, a mounting structure including a swing arm extending therefrom, the swing arm being coupled to the housing such that the swing arm can pivot relative to the housing, and an actuator coupled to (i) the housing such that the actuator can pivot relative to the housing and (ii) the swing arm such that movement of the actuator causes corresponding movement of the swing arm between a first position and a second position, thereby aiding in coupling the trailer to the vehicle.
Body Prop Assembly
A body prop assembly for supporting portions of a tilting trailer assembly. Said body prop assembly comprising a body prop, a hinge assembly, a one or more side tracks. Said body prop assembly configured to attach to said tilting trailer assembly between a tilting portions and a trailer platform. Said tilting portions selectively rotates with respect to said trailer platform on a tilting hinge. Said tilting hinge defines a tilting axis of said tilting trailer assembly. Said body prop is configured to selectively hold a portion of said tilting portions at an incline. A lower guides is configured to slide through portions of said one or more side tracks in order to adjust a lower portion of said body prop assembly. Said body prop comprises an upper portion, a side portions and said lower guides. Said upper portion is substantially parallel with said lower guides.
VERTICALLY ARTICULATING TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER FOR VEHICLE
The disclosed inventive concept provides a vertically articulating trailer hitch assembly for use with a vehicle, and particularly for use with an autonomous vehicle. The trailer hitch assembly is pivotally attached to the vehicle frame. The hitch assembly is allowed to swing away from the vehicle frame from a lowered position in which the trailer ball is uncoupled from the hitch coupler of the trailer to a raised position in which the trailer ball is coupled to the hitch coupler. The hitch assembly typically includes a receiver that has a long axis. The vehicle frame has a long axis. When the hitch assembly is in its lowered position, the long axis of the receiver is out of alignment with the long axis of the frame. When the hitch assembly is in its raised position, the long axis of the receiver is aligned with the long axis of the frame.
DEVICE, SERVER, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a device, an air mobility, a server, and a method for controlling a vehicle. The device includes a communication device, a memory storing vehicle information and air mobility device information, and a processor. The processor is configured to select, based on the vehicle information, a target vehicle to be coupled to a trailer, select, based on the air mobility device information, a target air mobility device, and transmit, via the communication device, at least one signal. The at least signal includes an indication for requesting the target vehicle to move to a location of the trailer, and an indication for requesting the target air mobility device to capture at least one image containing the target vehicle and the trailer.
Jack stand for auto-connect assembly
A coupling assembly couples an implement to a vehicle having a pickup hitch. The coupling assembly includes a coupler frame attached to the implement. A jack stand member is mounted on two coupling pins which project from the coupler frame. The jack stand member has a first slot which receives the first pin and a second slot which receives the second pin. The second slot forms a first shoulder which engages the second pin to support the coupler frame when the jack stand member is in a ground engaging lowered position. A block mounted to the pickup hitch is spaced apart from the jack stand member to allow it to fall to the lowered position when the coupler frame is uncoupled from the vehicle. The block engages a surface of the jack stand member to raise the jack stand member when the coupler frame is moved towards the vehicle.
