Detachable towing hook element

摘要

Detachable towing hook comprising a ball end (3) with a ball element clamp and primary means of coupling (6). Furthermore an accommodation element (10) is provided that may or may not be capable of fastening to a towing hook construction. This accommodation element is provided with secondary means of coupling (13) that interact with the primary means of coupling. These secondary means of coupling are provided with an accommodation into which a coupling pin (7) of the primary means of coupling can be inserted. A locking pin (21) can be moved out of the coupling pin. This locking pin can be moved along a secondary longitudinal axis (22) whilst the longitudinal axis of the coupling pin forms the primary longitudinal axis. These longitudinal axes are arranged in relation to each other such that extra space is created for the bore for a force-absorbing pin and the cog wheel for operating the locking pin. The rod can be (hot) upset at the end opposite that of the ball, and fastened to the primary means of coupling by means of welding. It is also possible to fasten this to a housing into which the primary means of coupling are incorporated.
