FULL SPECIFICATION of the British company's invention INTEKTRUCK LIMITED, Salisbury Road, Watling Street, Dartford, Kent, DA2 6EL, England, with the title:

"Improved support for trailers"

909846/0638

-s-

This invention relates to trailer support devices such as those used for supporting the front end of trailers when they are uncoupled Tractor can be used.

Such supports are well known and work with a single speed gearbox or with a gearbox for two / one corridors, with one corridor for quickly placing the support on the ground and a second, lower corridor for Lifting the front end of the trailer is intended. The gearbox is housed in a fixed box that is next to the the upper end of the support part is seated; this arrangement is detrimental to the versatility of the support device, since it is suitable for different Areas of application cannot be used.

It is therefore a primary object of this invention to provide a support unit to provide on which the gear box is detachable and mounted at a certain distance from the support. This arrangement increases the distance between the support surfaces and moves the prop closer to the side of the trailer in use, reducing the overhang above the winch shaft will. This projection often creates problems when turning the handle to extend or retract the support.

This invention consists of a support unit which includes the support and a gear box removably mounted thereon and wherein a spacer is provided between the support and the box.

On the attached drawings is:

According to one embodiment of the invention, the support unit belongs to z. B. the two-part support (1o), which can be extended by a gear housed in the box (12) at its upper end is. The lower end of the support (1o) is with ^ inem support wheels (14) mounted at a certain distance from one another, to enable the movement of a trailer (not shown) when its front end is passed through one or more Supports is supported.

As the internal structure of the retractable support and gear box are well known and can take various forms, e.g. B. from the patent descriptions Rr. 1 o3o 150 and 1 347 oo2 becomes one in detail A detailed description of the internal construction is not considered necessary since it is not part of this invention.

The gear box (12) is removably mounted next to the upper end of the outer housing (16) by means of a spacer (22) which is generally U-shaped. The lower end (24) of the spacer is at the rear of the gear box (12) welded, whereas those at a certain distance arms (26) attached parallel to the spacer, removable with the opposing surfaces of the outer one Housing (16) arranged by vertically at a certain distance Nuts (28) and bolts (32) are connected. The nuts and bolts are inserted through aligned openings in the Arms of the spacer or out in the outer housing. It It should be clear that the distance between the outer housing (16) and the gear box (12) depends on the requirements can be changed by simply increasing the length of the arms (26) of the spacer (22).

If desired, each arm (26) of the spacer (22) can also have more than one pair vertically at a certain distance from one another arranged openings (32) are provided, whereby

the outer housing (16) and the gear box (12) against each other can be adjusted and thus there are several possible uses. In addition, by changing the Shape of the spacer (22) this can be fixedly mounted on the outer housing (16), while the gear box (12) is removable is mounted on the spacer (22) by threaded fasteners.

The support is extended or retracted in the known manner Way through a handle (34-) »that on the drive shaft (36) of the transmission attacks. '
