Abstract
A support leg for trailer tongues which comprises an L-shaped ground support leg having a horizontal portion of square cross-section, a leg mounting bracket having a hollow cylindrical interior capped at one end and open at the other end with a circular cross-section of sufficient diameter to telescopically and rotatively receive the horizontal leg portion and terminating at its closed end in an internal leg-locking cavity of square cross-section, said internal cavity being adapted to telescoping receive said horizontal leg portion and restrain said horizontal leg portion against rotative movement, whereby said horizontal leg portion may be withdrawn from said internal leg locking cavity and rotate in said hollow cylindrical interior from a retracted to an extended position and vice versa and then telescopically inserted back into the internal cavity for locking engagement in the new position, a tension spring to resist telescoping disengagement of said leg horizontal portion from the internal leg locking cavity and a seal associated with the leg and the leg mounting bracket to effect an environmental seal.
