  • Patent number: 4423886
    Abstract: A pick-up hitch arrangement for a vehicle comprises a rigid support frame which is secured to a driven axle of the vehicle and has a pick-up hitch pivotally mounted thereon. The support frame is pivotally attached to the body part or chassis of the vehicle by means of pairs of upper and lower links. Each respective upper and lower link extend in directions which converge in vertical alignment with or forwardly of the center of gravity of the vehicle to reduce the tendency of a load applied to hook causing stretching of the vehicle rear springs and inclination of the chassis. The upper links converge above or rearwardly of the axle to give lateral stability to the hitch arrangement.
