  • Patent number: 4456279
    Abstract: A multiple connection trailer hitch comprising a plate member rotatably secured to a safety bumper of a vehicle and having at least two connection members of varying diametric sizes secured thereto. In one position of the plate with respect to the bumper, one of the connection members is disposed in position for receiving the connection member of a trailer thereon, and in another position of the plate with respect to the bumper, another connection member is disposed in position for receiving the connection member of the trailer. The plate is connected with the bumper by a sleeve and bolt arrangement whereby a locking pin, only, need be removed for permitting rotation of the plate to the desired position, thus eliminating a complete removal of the hitch securing members during adjustment of the hitch for repositioning of the desired connection member thereof.
