Twist mount wiring receiver

摘要

A wiring receiver ( 10 ) that may be mounted on a towing vehicle without the use of tools. The receiver ( 10 ) broadly comprises a plurality of terminals ( 22 ) for transferring signals from the towing vehicle to a towed vehicle, a main body ( 20 ) housing the terminals ( 22 ), and a cover ( 24 ) that mates to the main body ( 20 ), thereby securing the receiver ( 10 ) to a bracket ( 12 ) of the towing vehicle. The main body ( 20 ) includes a contact surface ( 30 ) with four protrusions ( 34 ) extending through the bracket 12. The cover ( 24 ) includes a contact surface ( 44 ) having arcuate slots ( 54 ) operable to slide around the protrusions ( 34 ), thereby securing the main body ( 20 ) to the towing vehicle.
