摘要: A load-damping motor-vehicle frame-type trailer hitch attachable at its forward end to a vehicle frame and at its rearward end to the automobile bumper, with means to allow relative motion between the two points of connection. The hitch includes a compression means which absorbs forward thrust loads in advance of placing a load upon the bumper, in the case of conventional bumpers, or, in the case of an energy absorbing bumper, adds energy absorption capability, allows return of the bumper to its original position without damage to either the bumper or hitch and without degradation of the energy absorption characteristics of the combined mechanisms. The hitch is operable with or without other load damping devices, and within both returnable and nonreturnable ranges of operation. The hitch is particularly adaptable to use with energy absorption bumpers.

摘要: Vehicle hitches of the type having a horizontal hitch bar supporting a medial coupling ball for pulling rental and other utility trailers. Particularly, a weight equalizing device independently pivoted with respect to the hitch bar and extending from the trailer tongue to the automobile frame so as to transfer load to the towing vehicle automobile frame. The device is characterized by a tension plate supported adjacent the the hitch bar and having a tension bar extending aft to the trailer tongue and a pair of coupling chains extending forwardly to engage the auto frame. The device may be used to adjust the trailer tongue level. In addition, the device also provides sway control.
