Description
WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 -1- Title STOWABLE TRAILER/DOLLY SYSTEM Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to a trailer or dolly and relates particularly, though not exclusively, to a stowable trailer or dolly system.
Background of the Invention Trailer or caravan axles are vulnerable to breakages, particularly under extended fatigue conditions which are experienced when a trailer or caravan is trailed large distances. When the axle breakage occurs in a remote location, which is often the case, the trailer or caravan must be abandoned and a tow truck taken to the trailer or caravan so that it can be trailed on its unbroken axle.
Alternatively, for a single axle trailer or caravan, repairs to the broken axle must be made at the site of the breakage. In any event it is particularly inconvenient and expensive to repair the axle breakage.
Australian patent No. 521004 relates to a carry towing trailer known as a MOBITOW. The MOBITOW is essentially a dolly designed to be hitched to and drawn by a towing vehicle. The MOBITOW is configured to "piggyback" the front or rear wheels of an immobilised motor vehicle. The MOBITOW includes a chassis which can be moved adjacent the ground and the front or rear wheels of the immobilised vehicle then drawn onto cradles provided on the chassis.
The chassis is then raised to a trailerable position above the ground and the immobilised vehicle towed as required.
Although the MOBITOW provides a relatively convenient means for towing a vehicle it still does not overcome the problems identified in the preceding paragraph.
PCT/AU98/00750 Received 28 September 1999 2 Summary of the Invention An intention of the present invention is to provide a trailer or dolly which can be stowed beneath or within a vehicle chassis or sub-frame.

WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 6 Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments As shown in Figure 1 there is a trailer or dolly shown generally as 10 mounted beneath or within a vehicle chassis 12.
The trailer or dolly 10 comprises a trailer or dolly chassis 14 being designed to carry a load (not shown), and two pairs of ground engaging wheels 16A/B and 18A/B respectively which are rotatably mounted to the trailer or dolly chassis 14. The trailer or dolly 10 illustrated in Figure 1 is in a stored position.
The trailer or dolly 10 depicted in Figure 2 has been removed from beneath or within the vehicle chassis 12 into a drawn position in preparation for towing. The trailer or dolly chassis 14 includes a pair of opposing elongate transverse members 20A, 20B and a pair of opposing elongate longitudinal members 22A, 22B. The transverse and longitudinal members 20, 22 are interconnected so as to form the rectangular-shaped dolly chassis 14.
Each of the elongate members 22, 24 is of a telescopic construction. That is, the longitudinal members 22A/B each include a pair of abutting longitudinal tubular members 26A/B which are slidably movable relative to an internal sleeve 28 which is received therein. The transverse members 20A/B each consist of three transverse tubular members 30A/B/C, adjacent and abutting tubular members and 30B/C having an internal transverse sleeve 32 about which they are slidably received.
The trailer or dolly chassis 14 also includes a central elongate member 34 having opposing ends connected between and extending perpendicular to the pair of transverse members 20A/B. The central member 34 is also of a telescopic construction so that extension and retraction of WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 7 the central member 34 can occur together with a corresponding movement in the pair of longitudinal members 22A/B. The trailer dolly or chassis 14 has a pair of intermediate elongate members 36A/B opposing ends thereof being connected to opposing transverse tubular members and 30C, respectively. The intermediate members 36A/B are located between and extend generally parallel to the central member 34 and each of the longitudinal members 22A/B.
The trailer or dolly 10 further comprises a draw bar 38 connected to the trailer or dolly chassis 14. A towing hitch 40 is mounted to an end of the draw bar 38 so that the trailer or dolly 10 can be hitched to a tow bar (not shown) of a vehicle with the trailer or dolly 10 in a drawn position. In this embodiment, the draw bar 38 consists of three telescopic sections 42A/B/C being slidably received within and thus movable relative to each other.
The telescopic section 42C is slidably received within the central member 34. The telescopic draw bar 38 is shown in a fully retracted and a fully extended position in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
As best shown in Figure 3, the trailer or dolly 10 includes a pair of draw bar locking pins 44, 46 designed to lock adjacent telescopic sections 42A and 42B together with telescopic section 42C relative to the central member 34.
The locking pins 44, 46 each pass through both the adjacent telescopic sections 42A/B and the telescopic section 42C and central member 34, respectively. A set of chassis locking pins including longitudinal member locking pins 48 and 50 are configured to securely lock both the telescopic transverse and longitudinal members 20A/B and 22A/B whilst the trailer or dolly 10 is in use. The chassis frame locking pins including 48 and 50 pass through both the tubular members and their corresponding internal sleeve, WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 8 for example longitudinal tubular member 26A and longitudinal sleeve 28.
As best illustrated in Figure i, the trailer or dolly includes twelve (12) stub axle mounts one of which is shown as 52, each being mounted at various locations beneath the trailer or dolly chassis 14. Three of the stub axle mounts 52 are mounted to each of the longitudinal and intermediate members 22A/B and 36A/B. An additional three stub axels may be mounted on the central member 34. A stub axle (not shown) of each of the wheels 16, 18 can be retractably inserted through one of the mounts 52. Thus, the wheels 16, 18 can be selectively located at any one of thirty (30) positions.
Figure 2 illustrates only sixteen (16) of the possible locations. A further eight locations are possible due to the middle stub mounts between the stub mounts used in Figure 2. In addition, a further six locations are possible, three on either side of the central member 34.
The pair of ground engaging wheels 16, 18 in Figures 3 and 4 are located in the hatched positions as depicted in Figure 2. In this example, the wheels 16, 18 are conveniently located inwardly of the trailer or dolly chassis 14 so that the trailer or dolly 10 can be located within the vehicle chassis 12 in the stored position.
Similarly, the stub axles of the wheels 16, 18 shown in Figure 1 are mounted to the central stub axle mounts 52 inwardly of the trailer or dolly chassis 14.
The trailer or dolly chassis 14 in Figures 3 and 4 is shown in a retracted position. Locking pins 48 and 50 rigidly secure longitudinal tubular members 26A/B to the longitudinal internal sleeve 28. However, as shown in Figure 5, the trailer or dolly chassis 14 may be extended whereupon one or both of the longitudinal tubular members WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 9 26A/B is telescopically slid over the internal sleeve 28 so as to extend the effective length of the trailer or dolly chassis 14. The locking pins 48, 50 secure the longitudinal tubular members 26A/B relative to the internal sleeve 28 so as to fix the chassis 14 in this position.
The frontmost pair of wheels 16A, 18A are then moved to the intermediate stub axle mounts 52. It will be appreciated that the trailer or dolly in its drawn position, such as that illustrated in Figures 2, 3, and 5, may take various configurations including variations in the width and length of the trailer or dolly chassis 14 and the various positions of the ground engaging wheels 16, 18.
The trailer or dolly 10 of Figures 2 and 5 includes a turntable 56 pivotally mounted to the central member 34.
The turntable 56 is designed to support a front or rear axle of an immobilised conveyance, including a vehicle, a caravan and a trailer (not depicted) requiring towing. The trailer or dolly 10 may include other support means for carrying a load. For example, a tray may be mounted to an upper surface of the trailer or dolly chassis 14 wherein the trailer or dolly 10 represents a box-type trailer. The tray is preferably collapsible and includes sides. It is preferable that the trailer or dolly 10 is constructed of relatively lightweight materials. For example, the trailer or dolly chassis 14 may be constructed of an aluminium alloy which is also weldable and thus appropriate for fabrication purposes.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a stowable trailer or dolly system including a trailer or dolly as broadly disclosed above together with means for locating the trailer or dolly beneath or within a vehicle. Although this aspect of the invention has not been illustrated in any of the attached drawings it will be appreciated that said means for locating the trailer or WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 10 dolly could include but is not limited to the following arrangements: a block and tackle arrangement coupled between the vehicle chassis 12 and the trailer or dolly chassis 14 so as to permit lifting of the trailer or dolly 10 into the stored position; (ii) one or more rails slidably and/or pivotally coupled to the vehicle chassis 12 so that the rails can be moved adjacent the ground and thereafter engage the trailer or dolly chassis 14 and/or the ground engaging wheels 16, 18 so that the trailer or dolly 10 can be raised into the stored position; and (iii) one or more hydraulic rams connected at opposing ends to the vehicle chassis 12 and the trailer or dolly chassis 14, respectively, the rams being designed to raise the trailer or dolly 10 into the stored position.
Now that a possible embodiment of the present invention has been described in some detail it will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that the trailer or dolly described has at least the following advantages: the trailer or dolly can be conveniently stowed beneath or within a vehicle chassis or sub frame; and (ii) the stowable trailer or dolly system allows for storage of the trailer or dolly beneath or within a vehicle chassis or sub-frame with relative ease.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that the present invention is not limited to the examples described but rather may extend to other variations/ modifications not specifically described. For example, the draw bar and/or ground engaging wheels may be fully detachable from the trailer or dolly chassis. The trailer or dolly chassis may not in fact be extendable but rather by the nature of its construction be of such a size that it can be located beneath or within a vehicle chassis or subframe. Furthermore, the trailer or dolly is not to be WO 99/12800 PCT/AU98/00750 11 limited to the specific construction described and may, for example, not include the longitudinal and/or transverse members.
It should be understood by a skilled addressee that if a vehicle does not have a chassis or the chassis is not adapted to be able to locate the trailer or dolly beneath or within, then a sub-frame may be attached to the vehicle which is adapted to locate the trailer or dolly beneath or within the sub-frame. The term sub-frame is to be construed to include this meaning without limiting its normal meaning.
All such variations and modifications are to be considered within the scope of the present invention the nature of which is to be determined from the foregoing description.
