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 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.

Abstract: A trailer hitch system for equalizing trailer loads and reducing trailer sway. The trailer hitch system may include spring bars that may be attached to a hitch head using a trunnion style connection. The spring bars may be attached to the trailer using rigid brackets that reduce swinging of the spring bars. The rigid brackets having a plurality of contact points may include an upward extending portion for attaching to the trailer tongue, and a lateral extending portion for receiving the spring bars thereupon. The rigid brackets may include a spacing member and an attachment member.

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 trailer coupler shielding and locking device for deterring theft of the trailer and damage to wiring of the trailer includes a clamshell housing, which is positionable around a tongue of the trailer. First and second lock pieces are engaged to the clamshell housing are opposingly positioned relative to its hinge. The second lock piece is complementary to the first lock piece. When the clamshell housing is in a closed configuration, the second lock piece is positioned to engage the first lock piece to lock the clamshell housing in the closed configuration over a hitch ball receiver and a coupler of the trailer to deter theft of the trailer and damage to wiring of the trailer.
