摘要: A vehicle hitch assembly is provided. The receiver tube is connectable with a bumper structure and defines a longitudinally-extending opening. The hitch assembly includes a drawbar assembly with an elongated body and a rod. The elongated body is dimensioned to be received within the opening in the receiver tube and defines a longitudinally-extending passageway. The rod is rotatably received within the longitudinally-extending passageway between a first position and a second position. The rod includes a detent feature that couples together the elongated body and the receiver tube when the rod is rotated to the second position and detaches the elongated body and the receiver tube when the rod is rotated to the first position.

摘要: The apparatus is a grappling and coupler device that enables dynamic capture and transportation of wheeled devices, such as for example without limitation, multiple trash bins or material movers and the like, to be linked together so that all can be transported or moved together. The coupler or connector apparatus is a removable connector that is joined to a vehicle at one end and at the other includes retainer elements such as at least one hook that is/are configured to dynamically receive, capture, and/or engage an item, such as a handle of a bin or material mover. Additional material movers such as refuse/recycle bins can be linked into a train configuration to enable transport of multiple material movers.

摘要: A tow hook assembly includes a tow hook body, a support bracket, and a disengagement bracket. The tow hook body includes a leading end, an opposite rear end, and an angled portion sloping downwardly in a direction opposite the leading end. A rear open-ended hole is formed in the rear end. A front open-ended hole is formed in the support bracket. A front fastener extends through the front open-ended hole formed in the support bracket to removably couple the tow hook body to the support bracket, and engagement member received within the rear open-ended hole formed in the tow hook body to removably couple the disengagement bracket to the tow hook body.

摘要: A spring bar coupling device is described for coupling a spring bar of a weight distributing trailer hitch to a trailer frame. The spring bar coupling device can include a spring bar support operable to interface with and support a spring bar of a weight distributing trailer hitch. The spring bar support can have a vertical support arm having a first coupler opening, and a lower spring bar stop extending from the vertical support arm to provide a lower interface for the spring bar. The spring bar coupling device can also include a channel bracket having at least two opposing walls defining a vertically oriented channel operable to receive the vertical support arm, and a second coupler opening in at least one of the two walls. The first and second coupler openings can be configured to be aligned with one another at a first coupling location when the vertical support arm is located at least partially within the vertically oriented channel. In addition, the spring bar coupling device can include at least one coupler operable to extend into the first and second coupler openings to couple the spring bar support to the channel bracket.

摘要: A gooseneck ball extender is designed to mate with a center socket and receivers mounted to a towing vehicle and provide a gooseneck ball that is offset from the center socket. The extender has a cylindrical shaft with captured balls that can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position through a spring-loaded locking shaft that moves between an unlocked and locked position. The locking shaft is biased towards the locked position where the captured balls are extended. The extender has an outrigger portion that has puck locks. The puck locks are rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. As attached to the towing vehicle, the outrigger portion provides additional support to the gooseneck ball.

摘要: A trailer coupling for a motor vehicle comprises a coupling arm, on the free end region of which a ball neck is formed, on which a coupling ball is arranged. The coupling ball is spherical on the side facing away from the ball neck and has a spherical segment plane on the side facing the ball neck. Between the spherical segment plane and a portion of the ball neck has a smaller outer circumference than the spherical segment plane there is arranged a throat portion having a transition contour extending in a concave manner between the ball neck and the spherical segment. The transition contour transitions with a coupling ball transition region into an external contour of the coupling ball and transitions with a ball neck transition region into an outer surface of the ball neck. The transition contour has a curved configuration having a non-constant radius.

摘要: A trailer hitching assist device for facilitating the hitching of a trailer to a trailer hitch includes a hollow tube with a hitch ball receiver and a hitch ball latch which are configured to cooperatively secure the tube to a hitch ball. A flared member at the end of the tube flares from the tube to an opening. A trailer tongue member is configured for attaching to a trailer frame, an insertion member extends from said trailer tongue member and is insertable into said tube through said opening. When the insertion member is positioned in a locking position, a locking pin is inserted through holes in the tube and the insertion member, thereby securing the insertion member to the tube.

摘要: Connecting straps for use for example in sports activities and methods of attaching the connecting straps. In one example, a connection strap system includes a connecting strap and a peg strap configured to be attached to the connecting strap. An example of the connecting strap includes (a) a sleeve of webbing having a first end and a second end and having a loop at each end, each loop having a base and a free end, (b) disposed within the sleeve of webbing, a band of elastic material extending in a continuous loop, and (c) an attachment strap, adjacent each loop, configured to secure a portion of the band to the webbing at the base of each loop. In some cases, the band has a solid, polygonal cross-sectional shape. The peg strap has a peg-loop at each end.

摘要: A removable gooseneck hitch ball has a hitch ball extending over a neck and supported by a shank, possibly with the hitch ball on a pivoting head. The shank has a plurality of arc contact surfaces (such as four) collectively defining a cylinder centered on the shank's central axis. Flat contact surfaces extend parallel to the shank's central axis and inside the cylinder defined by the arc contact surfaces (such as four flat contact surfaces defining a square). The shank can be matingly received in a cylindrical socket of the towing vehicle with the arc surfaces in contact with the cylindrical socket or can be matingly received in a prism shaped (square in horizontal cross-section) socket with the flat surfaces in contact with the prism shaped socket.
