Boat trailer guide

Details

Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Aschenbrenner; Peter A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Head & Johnson

An improved boat trailer guide-on comprising bracket means that adjustably attaches to a conventional boat trailer and holds a substantially vertical shaft means with telescopically extendable foamed plastic rollers thereon. Such a device allows the roller to float upwards as the boat trailer is backed into the water, thus remaining visible and capable of assisting in the loading and unloading of a boat. Optionally, the top of the floating, telescopically extendable, roller is equipped with a tail light lamp for assisting in loading and unloading after dark.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A boat trailer guide comprising: (a) a bracket means for attaching to a boat trailer and adapted to hold a shaft means substantially vertical and adjacent to the side of a boat support on a trailer; (b) a shaft means for supporting a floatable roller wherein said shaft means is attachable to said bracket means and adapted to be held substantially vertical and adjacent to the side of a boat supported on a trailer when said bracket means is attached to a boat trailer; and (c) a floatable roller attached to said shaft means and adapted to rotate about said shaft means as well as to float upwardly and extend telescopically on said shaft means, thus extending the boat guide vertically, when a boat trailer to which said bracket means is attached such as to hold said shaft means substantially vertical is lowered below water.
2.
A boat trailer guide of claim 1 further comprising a light source means mounted within said boat trailer guide with a protective lens attached at the upper end of said floatable roller such as to illuminate the top of said floatable roller even when extended.
3.
A rotatable, telescopically extendable, lighted, boat trailer guide-on comprising: (a) a bracket means for attaching to a boat trailer and adapted to hold a shaft means substantially vertical and adjacent to the side of a boat supported on a trailer; (b) a shaft means for positioning a floatable and removable cylindrical roller means substantially vertical and adjacent to the side of a boat supported on a trailer; (c) a floatable and removable cylindrical roller means concentrically attached to said shaft means such as to simultaneously revolve around and telescopically extend and retract vertically on said shaft means; and (d) a light source means for illuminating said roller means.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.
Field of the Invention: This invention relates to a lighted boat trailer guide for assisting in floating a boat on and off of a trailer.
More specifically, but not by way of limitation, the present invention relates to a boat guide that floats and as such, automatically extends and retracts as the trailer is submerged or withdrawn from the water
