发明名称 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REINFORCING AN ADJUSTABLE TRAILER HITCH
摘要 An adjustable height trailer hitch may include a shank portion configured and adapted to be installed into a hitch receiver. The hitch may further include a drop bar extending downwardly from the shank portion. The drop bar may further include a plurality of pin receiving holes formed in the drop bar. The hitch may further include a ball support member having a locking pin disposed in a locking-pin bore and an actuator pin disposed in an actuator bore. The hitch may further include a locking ring disposed in an annular groove of a cylindrical sidewall of the actuator bore. The locking ring may prevent backout of the actuator pin.

主权项 1. A trailer hitch ball mount assembly comprising: a shank configured and adapted to be installed into a hitch receiver; a drop bar extending downwardly from the shank portion; a plurality of pin receiving locations formed in the drop bar; a ball support member, the ball support member having a body member that comprises a locking-pin bore and an actuator bore formed therein, wherein the actuator bore defines a sidewall and a groove in said sidewall, wherein the locking-pin bore and the actuator bore intersect; a locking pin disposed in said locking-pin bore of the ball support member, said locking pin having a distal end configured and dimensioned to be selectively received in one of the pin receiving locations formed in the drop bar to provide height adjustment variability between the ball support member and the drop bar; an actuator pin disposed in said actuator bore of the ball support member, said actuator pin having a body member extending between a proximal end and a distal end, said body member further having a surface extending therefrom; a locking ring disposed in said groove of the sidewall of the actuator bore, said locking ring abutting against the surface of the actuator pin to prevent backout of the actuator pin.
