  • Patent number: 7594673
    Abstract: A collar or sleeve configured to lie snugly adjacent the cavity formed by the inner wall of a bumper hitch receiver, and including a longitudinal gap allowing the sleeve to resiliently flex inwardly to facilitate insertion of the sleeve within the receiver, to assure contact with the inner wall of the receiver. The device may also include a flange or lip outstanding from the trailing edge of the sleeve, to prevent insertion within the receiver too far to allow easy extraction when no longer needed; a finger curl may also extend rearward from the sleeve, to facilitate extraction of the sleeve from the bumper hitch receiver.
