Automotive towbar and trailer bar connector has socket trap with yaw motion end-stop

摘要

An automotive towbar terminates in a socket trap (16) for a trailer connector (10). The trap socket (18) engages with the trailer towbar eye (20). The towbar eye is free to move in the pitch and yaw (V) planes to follow the tow vehicle. The socket trap has an end-stop (28) that limits the towbar yaw with respect to the socket.
