Description

Multi-purpose trailer for vehicles.

Technical sector

The present invention is related to trailers towable by vehicles for loads of different types, particularly those for use in hitching with respect to automobiles, proposing a trailer of this type that allows to meet autonomously the needs for the experience in long-term journeys .

State of the art

It is known to use trailers as a complement to cargo for cars, there are various embodiments, in terms of capacity and configuration of such trailers, according to the application for which they are intended.

In that sense, there are, for example, trailers configured for the transport of animals, such as dogs, horses, etc., trailers intended for the transport of vehicles, such as motorcycles, quads, etc., as well as trailers configured in the form of platforms or Cargo containers of any kind.

These trailers are practical for use as means of transport of the type of cargo to which they are intended, but do not serve to adequately meet the needs of people living in autonomous conditions of accommodation, food, refueling, water, etc. ., in long-term journeys.

They are known, on the other hand, trailers called caravans, made in their training with equipment and distribution as a home, so that they can be used as a cabin for habitual functions of living of people, in autonomous conditions, but these Trailers are, by their own characteristics, very bulky and very expensive, which greatly restricts their use.

Object of the invention

In accordance with the invention, a car trailer is proposed with features that allow it to transport everything necessary to be able to practice long-term journeys in autonomous refueling and living conditions.

This trailer object of the invention consists of a body arranged on a chassis that rests on a wheel axle and incorporates a hitch for coupling to a drag car, the interior space that determines the body being distributed in three sectors, two of they in the front and rear zones, and the third in the intermediate zone, including in the front sector a water tank, while the rear sector determines a compartment that houses a fuel tank and a compartment that houses electrical equipment, staying in the intermediate sector a refrigerator chest, next to which there is a free space destined as a loading area.

Over said distribution of the trailer are arranged transverse arches, on which a covering canvas is arranged in relation to the front and intermediate sectors, while in relation to the rear sector said arches support a cover on which some are arranged photovoltaic panels for the supply of electricity to electrical equipment through the use of solar energy.

The body is closed at the back with a practicable door that allows access to the rear compartment; while in relation to the space destined as a loading area in the intermediate sector the body itself determines a folding door that configures a ladder, for access to said cargo space.

In the transverse arches, lights are arranged to illuminate the interior of the trailer, to facilitate the actions to be performed inside said trailer; going in said arches also hooks for hanging accessory objects, such as hoses intended for filling water and fuel tanks from supply points.

With all this, said trailer object of the invention offers functional versatility possibilities for applications, for example, to help victims of natural disasters, water, food, fuel and / or electrical energy supply to any emergency situation in displaced places , long-term trips, etc., in autonomous conditions, resulting from an advantageous use for any of the aforementioned or other similar applications.

Detailed description of the invention

The object of the invention relates to a trailer intended for dragging by motor vehicles, comprising a body (1) disposed on a chassis (2) that is supported on a wheel axle (3) and which has a hitch (4) for coupling to drag cars.

According to the invention, the interior space of the trailer is distributed in such a way that it determines a front sector (5), an intermediate sector (6) and a rear sector (7), incorporating above said distribution some transverse arches (8) that go arranged in the front and rear end parts and over the divisions between the sectors (5, 6 and 7), as shown in Figure 1.

As Figure 2 shows, a water tank (9) is housed in the front sector (5), which can be of a variable capacity, said tank (9) having a gravity filling mouth (10) or from a supply under pressure and some taps (11) to extract the water from inside, carrying a pump (12) that also allows the filling by suction. In connection with this reservoir (9), a hose (not shown) of a certain length is provided as an accessory, for the filling line from the water intake points.

In the intermediate sector (6) a refrigerated chest (13) is housed, leaving next to it a free space (14) destined as a loading area for accessory objects, such as food, footwear, tools, tent, appliances cooked, gas cylinders, folding table and chairs, etc.

The rear sector (7) determines on one side a compartment in which a fuel tank (15) is housed, which can also be of variable capacity, this tank (15) also having a filling mouth (16) and a tap

(17)

 for the extraction of fuel; also being provided, in relation to this tank (15), an accessory hose (not shown), for the filling line from the fuel supply points. The fuel tank (15) is provided formed by a 50 or 100 liter drum, disposed in the corresponding compartment in a removable manner, secured with elastic supports.

On the other side said rear sector (7) determines another compartment, in which an electrical equipment is housed, comprising, for example, electricity accumulators (18), an alternator (19), a transformer (20) and sockets current (21) of different voltages; this rear sector (7) being closed at the back with a practicable door (22) that allows access to the said electrical equipment compartment and the tank

(5)

 for the extraction of fuel.

The transverse arches (8) serve as supports for arranging a covering canvas (23) on the front sector

(5)

 and the intermediate sector (6); while above the rear sector (7) they support a cover (24) on which photovoltaic panels (25) are arranged, which can be positioned inclined for orientation more effectively in relation to the sun; so that said photovoltaic panels (25) are connected to the electricity accumulators (18), allowing them to be loaded when the trailer is exposed to sunlight. For the same charging function of the electric accumulators (18), the trailer is expected to be equipped with a connection cable to the drag car, so that the electric charge is produced from the car itself when no sunlight is received, by example during night circulation.

In the corresponding lateral part with the space (14) destined for loading area, the canvas (23) is provided with a zip fastener, which allows access to the interior, the body (1) possessing in that area a door (26) ) foldable provided on the inside with a ladder shape, which facilitates the entry and exit by said zip closure of the canvas (23), with respect to the aforementioned space (14) intended as a loading area.

Hooks (27) are provided in the transverse arches (8), which allow accessories to be hung, thus facilitating their location on the trailer, for example to arrange the accessory hoses of the water tank (9) and the fuel tank (15), without excluding the possibility of also hanging other accessories. In said transverse arches (8), lighting elements (28) are also incorporated, which allow to illuminate the interior of the trailer, to facilitate the actions to be carried out therein.

With all of this, this trailer object of the invention allows carrying in it everything necessary for one or more people to travel and develop the living activities in a totally autonomous way, with all the necessary equipment in an embodiment of relatively small dimensions , which is cheaper and easier to transport by drag with cars than conventional caravan trailers.
