  • Adjustable bracket for storage of trailer hitch ball mount
    Patent number: 9783016
    Abstract: The problem of storing a ball mount when not engaged in a receiver hitch opening is solved by a ball mount storage bracket. A ball mount storage bracket can attach around the neck of a receiver hitch and be oriented towards or away from the vehicle. The shank of the ball mount can be seated in the storage bracket and secured with the same pin and bolt that holds the ball mount in the receiver hitch. The storage bracket can be secured with a single U-bolt or similar type of connector, which makes it useful even if the rest of the receiver hitch is inaccessible.
