Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A power truckle for a house trailer, comprising: a. a longitudinally extending support frame having a forward end and a rearward end and comprising a plurality of laterally extending longitudinally spaced rear pipes having means connecting same together to form a unit, and a pair of longitudinally extending inclined pipes joined to the forwardmost rear pipe and extending forwardly to form said forward end; b. at least one laterally movable front wheel on said forward end; c. at least two laterally movable rear wheels on said rearward end which are spaced apart laterally; d. a pair of laterally spaced tire support platforms fixed on said support frame in proximity to said rear wheels for receiving the tires of a house trailer; e. front support means at said forward end of said support frame for supporting the front end of a house trailer; and f. power means separate from said platforms and operable by power other than the tires of the house trailer for driving at least one of said wheels for moving said support frame and the parts therewith laterally for thereby moving a house trailer thereon laterally.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The power truckle set forth in claim 1, including: a. inclined ramp means with each of said tire support platforms for facilitating the movement of the tires of the house trailer from ground level to the tire support platforms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
89 words
The power truckle set forth in claim 1, including: a. inclined ramp means with each of said tire support platforms for facilitating the movement of the tires of the house trailer from ground level to the tire support platforms; and b. resilient means for resiliently holding the lower edges of said ramp means oFf the ground so as to avoid contact with the ground upon lateral movement of the truckle but allowing for supporting contact with the ground when the tires move upwardly or downwardly on said ramp means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
