Description

Motor-cycle Carriage Device The present invention is hereby concerned with the carriage of vehicles, bicycles, trials bikes trykes and the like, however, the system can be utilised for other carriage. Usually Motor Cycles are towed upon a wheeled trailer or carried in a van or pick up truck, the trailers are bulky and are quite a piece of tackle just for bike, a van or pick up is fine if you own one, however most people prefer to travel in the comfort of a car.
Therefore I have undertaken to utilise the tow-bar of a car to accommodate a facility for carriage, and also whereby the swivel action of the front forks of a motor cycle and suspension are capitilised within the function of towing. In a preferred embodiment of the invent ion, a normal tow hitch is fitted with a catchment to receive a normal ball catch to secure the facility in a vertical plain for carriage, and/or with a box cradle to receive the front wheel of a motor cycle that can be secured therein and allow the motor cycle to be towed within its own axis and suspension, The unitary formation may be of any suitable material such as steel or alloy. Steel is preferred for its strength.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, of which : Fig 1. is a schematic view of the embodiment of a ball catch and receiving location and the towing facility that will fix to to the latter.
Fig 2. is a schematic view of the receiver and facility combined.
Fig 3. is a schematic view of a car with a tow hitch and the facility combined attached in place with a motorcycle secured into the front wheel cradle of the towing facility for tow. The motorcycle could alternatively be mounted upon the cradle adjacent to the back of the car and carried thereon.
Referring to Fig 1 a normal ball hitch 4 is secured by bolt 5 whereby catchment bar 6 is also secured by bolt 5 whereby hole 7 will locate with hole 10 when ball catch 8 and box section 9 is placed over ball 4 whereby a bolt is inserted through hole 10 through 7 to secure and/with ball 4 in a vertical plain whereby cradle 11 would receive a front wheel of a motorcycle to secure therein. Alternatively the cradle 11 could be located in a lengthwise situation whereby the motor-cycle could be carried thereon rather than being towed.
Referring to Fig 2. likewise, 12 is the bolt that secures and/with the ball hitch.
Referring to Fig 3. likewise, 13 is a car whereby the facility is shown fixed at 14 whereby wheel 15 is secured into the cradle whereby the motor-cycle is towed using its own swivel action at 16 for turning and own wheel rotation 17.
