Abstract
Abstract Relatively large bales of material or feed carried on a bed supported by brackets on the transverse wheel axles of an elongated trailer frame. The bed may be laterally tilted for unloading purposes by power operated, fluid piston devices. A cross-sectional trapezoidal feed rack may be secured to the trailer mounted bed.

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
In combination with an elongated trailer having a longitudinal frame connected to at least two transverse axles rotatably mounting vehicle wheels, a bale transfer device comprising support brackets secured to each of said axles adjacent to the wheels having horizontal support surfaces vertically spaced above said axles, a load supporting bed including a pair of elongated frame members positioned on said support surfaces and a plurality of cross frame members interconnecting the elongated frame members and depending therefrom below the support surfaces at longitudinally spaced locations, means pivotally connecting one of the elongated frame members to the brackets on one lateral side of the longitudinal trailer frame, rest means secured to the support surfaces on the other lateral side of the trailer frame for receiving the other of the elongated frame members, and power operated means interconnected between the brackets on said one lateral side of the trailer frame and the elongated frame members for upward pivotal displacement of the frame members toward said one lateral side of the trailer frame, a truss assembly secured to each of said elongated frame members and depending therefrom between the axles to resist bending, and a feed retaining rack secured to the frame members and extending laterally and vertically thereabove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
207 words
In combination with an elongated trailer having a longitudinal frame connected to at least two transverse axles rotatably mounting vehicle wheels, a bale transfer device comprising support brackets secured to each of said axles adjacent to the wheels having horizontal support surfaces vertically spaced above said axles, a load supporting bed including a pair of elongated frame members positioned on said support surfaces and a plurality of cross frame members interconnecting the elongated frame members and depending therefrom below the support surfaces at longitudinally spaced locations, means pivotally connecting one of the elongated frame members to the brackets on one lateral side of the longitudinal trailer frame, rest means secured to the support surfaces on the other lateral side of the trailer frame for receiving the other of the elongated frame members, and power operated means interconnected between the brackets on said one lateral side of the trailer frame and the elongated frame members for upward pivotal displacement of the frame members toward said one lateral side of the trailer frame, a truss assembly secured to each of said elongated frame members and depending therefrom between the axles to resist bending, and a feed retaining rack secured to the frame members and extending laterally and vertically thereabove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said feed retaining rack comprises a plurality of bottom rods secured to the elongated frame members, a pair of longitudinal rods interconnecting the bottom rods in laterally spaced relation to the frame members, and a pair of fence assemblies connected to said longitudinal rods extending upwardly therefrom in diverging relation to each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
187 words
In combination with an elongated trailer having a longitudinal frame connected to at least two traverse axles rotatably mounting vehicle wheels, a bale transfer device comprising support brackets secured to each of said axles adjacent to the wheels having horizontal support surfaces vertically spaced above said axles, a load supporting bed including a pair of elongated frame members positioned on said support surfaces and a plurality of cross frame members interconnecting the elongated frame members and depending therefrom below the support surfaces at longitudinally spaced locations, means pivotally connecting one of the elongated frame members to the brackets on one lateral side of the longitudinal trailer frame, rest means secured to the support surfaces on the other lateral side of the trailer frame for receiving the other of the elongated frame members, and power operated means interconnected between the brackets on said one lateral side of the trailer frame and the elongated frame members for upward pivotal displacement of the frame members toward said one lateral side of the trailer frame, and a feed retaining rack secured to the frame members and extending laterally and vertically thereabove.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
187 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
The combination of claim 3 wherein said feed retaining rack comprises a plurality of bottom rods secured to the elongated frame members, a pair of longitudinal rods interconnecting the bottom rods in laterally spaced relation to the frame members, and a pair of fence assemblies connected to said longitudinal rods extending upwardly therefrom in diverging relation to each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
146 words
In combination with an elongated trailer having a longitudinal frame connected to at least two transverse axles rotatably mounting vehicle wheels, support brackets secured to each of said axles adjacent to the wheels having horizontal support surfaces vertically spaced above said axles, a load supporting bed including a pair of elongated frame members positioned on said support surfaces, and a feed retaining rack including a plurality of bottom rods secured to the elongated frame members, a pair of longitudinal rods interconnecting the bottom rods in laterally spaced relation to the frame members, and a pair of fence assemblies connected to said longitudinal rods extending upwardly therefrom in diverging relation to each other, and means pivotally connecting the one of the elongated frame members to the bracket and power operated means interconnected between said brackets and the load supporting bed for laterally displacing the feed retaining rack.
