International Classification:

B63H 114

US Classification:

440 55

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a transom bracket adapted to be mounted on a boat transom and including a rearwardly and laterally open socket, a swivel bracket connected to the transom bracket for pivotal movement about a horizontal tilt axis, a trail arm pivotally mounted on the swivel bracket for movement between a retracted position adjacent the swivel bracket and an extended position projecting from the swivel bracket and including an outer end receivable in the socket in the transom bracket and having a laterally extending projection, a latch member pivotally mounted on the transom bracket for movement between a retracted position and a latching position, which latch member includes a hook located, when the latch member is in the latching position, for engagement with the projection to prevent withdrawal of the outer end of the trail arm from the socket, and which hook is located, when the latch member is in the retracted position, clear of interferring engagement with travel of the outer end of the trail arm into and out of the socket, and a propulsion unit connected to the swivel bracket for common movement therewith about the tilt axis and for pivotal movement relative to the swivel bracket about a vertical steering axis and including a propeller shaft adapted to support a propeller.

Stephen R. Hardwick - Des Plaines IL

Assignee:

DFM Corporation - Indianola IA

International Classification:

B60K 1104

US Classification:

180 686

Abstract:

A winterfront of the present invention is adapted to fit over the radiator grill of a vehicle in order to restrict the flow of cold air through the radiator during cold weather. The winterfront is comprised of a molded ABS plastic cover which fits over the grill of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the winterfront includes a plurality of transverse ribs with apertures formed therebetween for providing the appearance of a radiator grill. In another embodiment, the winterfront has one large aperture formed in the middle portion of the winterfront. The winterfront is adapted to clip onto the radiator grill so that no drilling into the grill or vehicle is required.
