ABSTRACT:
An automobile trunk loading apparatus for loading wheelchairs, outboard motors and the like into the trunk of an automobile comprises a carrier frame on which the object to be located may be removably attached. The frame is connected at the end which is to extend into the interior of the trunk to a pair of chain-like track elements which are constructed of interconnected oppositely facing U-shaped channel links having engaging surfaces to limit the radius of curvature attainable by the chain in the direction extending upwardly from the trunk floor to a minimum radius and to limit the radius of curvature on the opposite side thereof to approximately a straight line. When an object is located in the trunk in a loaded position, the chain-like track elements lie flat on the floor of the trunk. To remove an object, the frame nearest the edge of the trunk is lifted up sufficiently to clear the trunk and then pulled horizontally out of the trunk. The chain-like track members roll up link by link and then straighten out to lift the opposite end of the frame upwardly out of the trunk. When the end of the frame to which the track elements are connected clears the edge of the trunk, the free end is lowered to the ground and the object carried by the frame may be removed from it. To load the trunk, the procedure is reversed.
