Motor mounts for trailer landing gear

A motorized system for rotating an input shaft associated with landing gear of a trailer, the landing gear having a telescoping jack leg for raising and lowering a front of the trailer when the input shaft is rotated, the system comprising:

• an electric motor;
• a motor mount that prevents rotation of the motor, the motor mount comprising a bracket with first, second, and third plates, the first and second plates being connected substantially at a right angle, the second and third plates being connected substantially at a right angle, the first and third plates being positioned substantially parallel, the first plate secured to a frame part of the trailer, the first plate having an opening therethrough;
• and
• a gearbox operatively connected to the electric motor, the gearbox secured to the first plate, the gearbox having an outwardly extending drive means that is rotated by the motor and gearbox, the drive means having an elongated longitudinal body that extends through the opening in the motor bracket first plate, the drive means for connection, directly or indirectly, to and capable of rotating the landing gear input shaft of the trailer.

A motorized system for rotating an input shaft associated with landing gear of a trailer, the landing gear having a telescoping jack leg for raising and lowering a front of the trailer when the input shaft is rotated, the system comprising:

• an electric motor;
• an adjustable motor mount that prevents rotation of the motor, the adjustable motor mount comprising:
• an L-shaped frame bracket having first and second plates, the first and second plates being connected substantially at a right angle, the first plate being secured to a frame part of the trailer, the second plate having an elongated longitudinal body with generally planar, opposing, first and second surfaces, the first and second surfaces extending between opposing, right and left edges and extending between proximal and distal ends, the proximal ends being connected to the first plate;
• an L-shaped motor bracket having first and second plates, the motor bracket first and second plates being connected substantially at a right angle, the motor bracket first plate having an opening therethrough, the motor bracket second plate being secured to the frame bracket second plate, the motor bracket second plate having an elongated longitudinal body with generally planar, opposing, first and second surfaces, the motor bracket first and second surfaces extending between opposing, right and left edges and extending between proximal and distal ends, the motor bracket proximal end being connected to the motor bracket first plate;
• a gearbox operatively connected to the electric motor, the gearbox secured to the motor bracket first plate, the gearbox having an outwardly extending drive means that is rotated by the motor and gearbox, the drive means having an elongated longitudinal body that extends through the opening in the motor bracket first plate, the drive means for connection, directly or indirectly, to and capable of rotating the landing gear input shaft of the trailer;
• and
• means for securing together the second plates while permitting limited movement of the second plates relative to each other toward and away from the input shaft in order to accommodate a two-speed jack operation associated with the landing gear.
