ABSTRACT:
A tow bar for a trailer comprises forward and rear sections which are pivotable relative to one another about a substantially horizontal axis, to reduce the stresses to which the tow bar is subjected when travelling across rough terrain. An axially compressible spring, such as a stack of Belleville springs mounted on a cylindrical shaft, extends between the two tow bar sections to absorb some of the stresses caused by pitching movement of the trailer relative to the towing vehicle.
