  • Patent number: 7543838
    Abstract: An anti-theft mechanism for a trailer coupler designed such that it can be locked or secured to the coupler is such a manner that the coupler cannot be utilized. The mechanism includes a body, which is securable to the trailer coupler. The body includes a retention portion that is sized to mate with the lip portion of the trailer coupler. The mechanism also includes a lock cylinder, an extension member attached to the lock cylinder, and a locking pin moveable between retracted and extended positions.
