  • Patent number: 10232676
    Abstract: A gooseneck hitch locking apparatus and system that is safe and reliable, can standup to a large range of weather conditions, and can be activated remotely thereby allowing for the coupling/uncoupling of a trailer to a towing vehicle without requiring a user to climb into/out of the bed of the towing vehicle. A remotely controlled actuator raises and lowers a locking pin through a locking hole of a gooseneck hitch with a force loaded ball hitch locking plate, thereby preventing the locking plate from moving and keeping the coupled ball hitch from uncoupling. A handle connected to the locking pin is connected to the actuator via a fastener. The fastener may be removed, thereby allowing manual operation of the gooseneck hitch locking apparatus and system via the handle, thus allowing the manual coupling or uncoupling of a the trailer from a towing vehicle.
