Abstract: A trunnion, adapted to fit in a receiver, attached to a vehicle as a receiver-type hitch system, provides selective deployment and stowage of a hitch. An optional base secured to the trunnion may receive a pivot. A mount, secured by the pivot to the base, swings between a deployed and a stowed position. Alignments are one-dimensional, typically circumferentially positioning a locking pin aperture and a corresponding locking pin about a radius with respect to a pivot axis. A platform of the mount may contain an aperture for operating as a pin hitch aperture, or for receiving a stud or bolt for securing a ball hitch, or two hitches. In certain embodiments, multiple ball hitches may be attached at once to the platform. Selection of ball hitch sizes, and positioning of the ball hitch altitude may also be accomplished by pivots built into the mount.

Abstract: A biased cable mechanism is provided for enabling a secondary connection between a trailer and a vehicle. The biased cable mechanism includes a housing supporting a cable for resilient extensions from the housing. A first end of the cable is fixedly attached to the housing and a second end extends therefrom. A biasing member is operably interconnected to a mid-length of the cable enabling resilient extension of the cable from the housing for attachment to the vehicle, thereby providing the secondary connection.

Abstract: A system, kit and method for aligning a vehicle mounted connector with a trailer-mounted connector. The system and kit include a first rod, which is mounted to a trailer, and a second rod, which is mounted to the rear portion of a vehicle in a location corresponding to the location of the first rod on the trailer. The first rod includes a first connector at one end, for attachment to the trailer, and a first target mounted at the other end. The second rod includes a second connector at one end for attachment to the vehicle, and a second target mounted at its other end. The second rod is attached to the rear portion of the vehicle and extends rearward toward the trailer and upward such that is may be viewed through the rear window of the vehicle and is at substantially the same height as the first target.

Abstract: This invention relates to hitch covers that are high quality, 100% metal that can be easily installed and removed, yet able to be securely locked in place. Even more specifically, the motorcyclist's receiver hitch cover generally includes a permanent faceplate made from a motorcycle timer cover, transmission end cover or other plate that simulates a prefabricated motorcycle accessory. Of course the design on the front most face of the cover is not limited to the skull design, but can include any desired motorcycle cover design including wings, flames or other widely accepted motorcycle symbols.

Abstract: A towing device for selectively locking a towing load has a support member that pivotably supports a link member at a first pivotal point near the first proximal end. A stopper is located on the support member for regulating a pivotal movement of the link member. A joint member is pivotably coupled to the link member near the first proximal end at a second pivotal point and has a tendency to pivot about the second pivotal point toward the first pivotal point to contact the stopper as the first proximal end pivots toward the stopper about the first pivotal point. A coupling member is connected to the second distal end of the joint member. An interference avoiding unit is located near the joint member for guiding the joint member to maintain a certain distance from the stopper as the link member pivots about the first pivotal point.

Abstract: A hitch guide is a device to aid the driver of a pickup truck in mounting a gooseneck trailer hitch onto the hitch ball mounted in the bed of a pickup truck. the present device has a strap mounted between tow end pieces which in turn mount on the side rails of a pickup truck bed to that the end pieces may be moved along the length of the pickup truck bed for adjustment purposes. A marker, mounted on the strap, may be adjusted laterally between the two pickup bed rails. When the strap and marker are properly adjusted, the pickup truck when backed up to the mounting pole of a gooseneck trailer so that the marker is just touching the mounting pole will be oriented so that the mounting pole and gooseneck trailer hitch are aligned directly over the hitch ball in the pickup truck bed.

Abstract: A tractor having a cargo box and an axle mounted hitch ball in which the hitch ball projects upward through an opening in the cargo box floor. This arrangement enables the ball to be used when the cargo box is mounted to the tractor. Furthermore, since the ball is mounted to the axle and not the cargo box, greater load carrying capacity is achieved and the hitch can be used when the box removed from the tractor.
