A two-wheeled trailer which can transported, when empty, in a folded position with its wheels off of the ground. Particularly useful for hunters who want to get into the back country without having to pull a trailer, it can be rapidly deployed when needed to haul game. The folding trailer is also handy for do-it-yourselfers who want to move lumber, plants, fertilizer, and the like. The trailer includes a rectangular frame which is mounted on a pair of wheels and a “T”-shaped member. Hinged to a transverse cross brace which generally bisects the rectangular frame are two arms. Disposed perpendicularly to the transverse cross brace, the arms terminate forwardly proximate with the distal ends of the “T”-shaped member to which they are pivotally connected. When the trailer is unfolded, the leg of the “T”-shaped member extends in front of the wheeled frame so as to define a tongue. The tongue can be secured by a trailer hitch to a hitch arm pinned to a hitch receiver mounted on the towing vehicle. When the trailer is folded, on the other hand, the tongue extends generally perpendicularly to the wheeled frame and can be inserted directly into the hitch receiver; held therewithin by a pin, the two wheels ride free of the ground. In an alternate embodiment, the two forward corners of the frame are truncated, giving its front end a beveled appearance.

1. A folding trailer, comprising:(a) a “T”-shaped hitch member having an elongated bar;(b) a frame having front and rear frame members which are spaced apart and disposed generally parallel to the elongated bar of the “T”-shaped hitch member;(c) at least one hinge attached to the frame;(d) means, including at least one arm whose distal ends are pivotally connected to the hinge and to the bar, respectively, for moving the elongated bar along an imaginary arc of approximately 180 degrees from a first position proximate with the front frame member to a second position proximate with the rear frame member;(e) a pair of wheels; and(f) means for mounting the wheels on the frame in such a way that the wheels are disposed generally downwardly and forwardly of the rear frame member when the bar is held in said first position, the pivotal connection between the hinge and the arm being situated under the frame when the wheels are so disposed. 2. A folding trailer; comprising:(a) a “T”-shaped hitch member having an elongated bar and a leg disposed perpendicularly thereto;(b) a frame having front and rear frame members which are spaced apart and disposed generally parallel to the elongated bar of the ±T”-shaped hitch member;(c) means, including at least one arm whose distal ends are pivotally connected to the frame and to the bar, respectively, for moving the elongated bar from a first position proximate with the front frame member to a second position proximate with the rear frame member;(d) a pair of wheels; and(e) means for mounting the wheels on the frame in such a way that the wheels are disposed generally downwardly and forwardly of the rear frame member when the bar is held in said first position, the “T”-shaped hitch member being rotate about its pivotal connections with the arm so as to position the leg generally perpendicularly to the frame when the elongated bar is being held in the second position, thereby folding the trailer in such a way that said wheels are disposed off of the ground. 3. A folding trailer adapted to be towed behind a vehicle on which is mounted a hitch receiver, which comprises:(a) a frame having a pair of longitudinally extending side members and a transverse cross brace, distal ends of the transverse cross brace being rigidly attached to the side members proximate with their respective mid-sections;(b) a pair of wheels which are mounted beneath the frame;(c) a “T”-shaped member and a pair of spaced apart arms, each arm being hinged to the transverse cross brace and disposed perpendicularly thereto, each arm distal from the transverse cross brace being pivotally connected to the “T”-shaped member the “T”-shaped member defining a centrally disposed leg; the leg, when the trailer is unfolded, extending in front of the frame so as to define a tongue; the “T”-shaped member, when the trailer is folded, being secured to the frame in such a way that the leg extends generally perpendicularly to the longitudinally extending side members, an end of the leg being insertable into the hitch receiver, so that the trailer, when folded, can be attached to the hitch receiver with said pair of wheels disposed off of the ground. 4. A folding trailer, which comprises:(a) a frame having a pair of longitudinally extending side members and a transverse cross brace, distal ends of the transverse cross brace being rigidly attached to the side members proximate with their respective mid-sections;(b) a pair of wheels which are mounted beneath the frame;(c) a “T”-shaped member and a pair of spaced apart arms, each arm being hinged to the transverse cross brace and disposed perpendicularly thereto, each arm distal from the transverse cross brace being pivotally connected to the “T”-shaped member, the “T”-shaped member defining a centrally disposed leg; the leg, when the t railer is unfolded, extending in front of the frame so as to define a tongue; the “T”-shaped member, when the trailer is folded, being secured to the frame in such a way that the leg extends generally perpendicularly to the longitudinally extending side members.
