| Abstract: |
A two wheel trailer comprising a trailer body having a deck and a pair of vertically oriented side portions which mount trunnions carrying the suspension arms of a pair of wheels. Locking mechanisms are actuable to permit downward and inward rotation of the trunnions to locate the wheels beneath the upper deck of the trailer body in a compact, recessed relation. Combined spring and shock absorber devices are carried by the trailer body for engagement with the suspension arms. An elongated towing tongue is telescopable within the trailer body. In a preferred embodiment the trailer body includes two hinged together sections, the rearward section mounting the tail lights being pivotable to underlie and enclose the retracted wheels located within the forward section. The folded sections are designed to fit within the trunk of a typical passenger vehicle.

I claim:
1. A two wheel trailer comprising:
- a trailer body including adjacent forward and rearward sections which in their operative positions define, respectively, downwardly opening forward and rearward compartments, said forward and rearward sections being hingedly connected together for pivotal movement of said rearward section about a transverse axis into a storage position underlying said forward section;
- a pair of suspension arms normally located in an outer position outwardly of the sides of said forward section, respectively, for pivotal movement about transverse pivot axes;
- shock absorbing means carried by said sides of said forward section, respectively, and engageable with said suspension arms;
- a pair of wheels carried by said suspension arms, respectively,
- support means carried by the sides of said forward section for mounting said suspension arms, said support means being operative to enable said wheels and said suspension arms to be pivoted from said outer position to a retracted position within said forward compartment whereby, upon location of said rearward section in said storage position, substantially all of said suspension arms and all of said wheels are completely enclosed by said forward and rearward sections and locking means normally maintaining said suspension arms in said outer position but selectively operable to enable said suspension arms to move to said retracted position.
