摘要： The present application describes a gooseneck coupler assembly that may include a gooseneck trailer pivot, an extension arm, and a pivot retention mechanism having a ball socket. The ball socket may engage with a hitch ball located on a towing vehicle. The gooseneck trailer pivot may be mounted on a towed vehicle or trailer and be capable of pivoting about a vertical axis relative to the trailer. During engagement, the ball socket and the extension arm may provide tilt capability but thereby prevent any rotational movement relative to the hitch ball. However, the gooseneck coupler assembly may still be able to tilt fore-and-aft or side-to-side relative to the hitch ball. Therefore, the only pivotal movement relative to a vertical axis would be permitted at the gooseneck trailer pivot.

摘要翻译： 本申请描述了一种鹅颈式连接器组件，其可以包括鹅颈式拖车枢轴，延伸臂和具有球窝的枢转保持机构。 球窝可与位于牵引车上的搭接球接合。 鹅颈式拖车枢轴可以安装在牵引的车辆或拖车上并且能够相对于拖车围绕垂直轴线枢转。 在接合期间，球窝和延伸臂可以提供倾斜能力，从而防止相对于搭接球的任何旋转运动。 然而，鹅颈式连接器组件仍然能够相对于搭接球前后倾斜或相对地倾斜。 因此，在鹅颈拖车枢轴处，允许相对于垂直轴线的唯一枢转运动。

摘要： A fifth wheel hitch is shown and described. The fifth wheel hitch may include a base frame configured to be secured to a load bed of a towing vehicle, a trolley operatively engaged with the base frame, the trolley adapted to move along the base frame between first and second positions, and a cam member attached with the base frame, the cam member having a cam path. The fifth wheel hitch may also include a cam follower coupled with the trolley, the cam follower operatively engaged with the cam path, and a fifth wheel head pivotally coupled with the trolley, where the trolley is moved between the first and second positions in response to pivoting of the fifth wheel head.
