Abstract: A hitch coupler includes a frame having vertically spaced apart plates extending outwardly therefrom. Each plate includes a pin receiving aperture adapted to receive a pin member therethrough. The pin member is moveable between extended and retracted positions. The pin member includes a pin housing having a vertical guide slot disposed thereon. A lock mechanism is pivotally coupled to the frame member and includes a locking flange which is adapted to engage the guide slot when the pin member is in the extended position. The lock mechanism is biased towards a lock position such that the locking flange of the lock mechanism is adapted to automatically engage the guide slot disposed on the pin housing of the pin member when the guide slot is aligned with the locking flange of the lock mechanism. In the locked position, the locking mechanism acts to retain the pin member in the extended position.

Abstract: A drawbar assembly includes a mounting member adapted to couple to a vehicle and that includes a body portion having a first passage, an eye portion extending outwardly from the mounting body portion, wherein the eye portion includes a top surface, a bottom surface and a second passage extending therethrough adapted to receive a pintle hook therein, and a wedge member slidably received within the first passage of the body portion. The wedge member is slidably movable between a first portion, wherein the wedge member is withdrawn into the first passage of the body portion, and a second position, where the wedge member extends into the second passage of the eye portion. The wedge member is located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the eye portion, and does not extend above the top surface or the bottom surface.

Abstract: A drawbar assembly for a baggage cart that comprises a pair of bar members spaced apart from one another and having a first end pivotally coupled to a cart, and a second end, and a mounting member fixedly coupled between the bar members proximate the second end of the bar members, wherein the mounting member includes an aperture extending therethrough. The drawbar assembly further includes a coupling member having an eyelet and a threaded stud extending from the eyelet and received within the aperture of the mounting member, a seal member positioned between the eyelet and the mounting member, and a nut threadably received on the stud and fastening the coupling member to the mounting member, such that the stud of the coupling member is rotatable within the aperture of the mounting member.

Abstract: A draw bar and universal mount for a trailer hitch comprises a base plate including a first section, a second section and at least two rows of apertures. Furthermore, the draw bar and universal mount includes a shank having a first portion, a second portion and a central portion, the central portion connecting the first portion and the second portion. The shank includes at least one opening and one end disposed on the base plate. The base plate and shank are fabricated from an integral, continuous piece of material.
