Abstract: A system for roping practice includes a vehicle, a roping dummy, and a hitch device couplable between the vehicle and the roping dummy. A switch on or near a bumper of the vehicle is configured to stop the vehicle from moving, allowing for a riderless vehicle. When a user lassos and pulls against the roping dummy, the switch is actuated, thereby ceasing forward movement of the vehicle. Once the user is ready to lasso again, the user may initiate the drive mode of the vehicle once more. In some examples, the vehicle is autonomously driven using a navigation system and/or one or more transmitters positioned along the boundaries of a practice arena.

Abstract: A trailer hitch including a tube having ball socket, a top plate connected to the tube, where the top plate includes an opening designed and configured to receive a hitch ball. The trailer hitch also includes a lower plate, where the top plate includes an opening designed and configured to receive a hitch ball, and where the lower plate is connected to the top plate via first and second sidewalls, and the top plate, lower plate and first and second sidewalls form a space. The trailer hitch further includes a slide plate positioned within the space and configured to slide between the top plate and lower plate, where the top plate includes an opening designed and configured to receive a hitch ball, and the slide plate may be configured to move between an open position and a closed position, where the open position enables a hitch ball to pass through the opening of the slide plate and the closed position prevents a hitch ball from passing through the opening in the slide plate.

Abstract: A weight distributing trailer hitch and associated method are described. The weight distributing trailer hitch can include a hitch portion for interfacing with a hitch receiver associated with a vehicle. The weight distributing trailer hitch can also include a ball portion to facilitate coupling with a tongue of a trailer. In one embodiment, the weight distributing trailer hitch can further include a spring bar vertically pivotal relative to the hitch portion, and an adjustment mechanism actuatable to selectively adjust a tilt angle of the spring bar relative to the hitch portion to vary preload on the spring bar and adjustably distribute weight of the trailer relative to the vehicle. In another embodiment, the weight distributing trailer hitch can further include a spring bar for distributing weight of the trailer relative to the vehicle, and a load measurement device to determine a magnitude of a downward force on the hitch ball

Abstract: A ball hitch includes a base flange, a coupler ball, and a stem portion connected between the coupler ball and the base flange. A lubricant inlet is mounted in the base flange within a recessed indentation. A lubricant outlet in the coupler ball is positioned at a lateral side opposite the lubricant inlet. A lubricant channel extending between the lubricant inlet and the lubricant outlet is canted at an angle through the ball hitch. The ball hitch provides an improvement for lubricant coating of the coupler ball, protection of the lubricant inlet, among other features disclosed herein.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
