ABSTRACT:
A trailer stabilizer incorporating an elongated housing rigidly secured on its rear end to a trailer tongue and projecting forwardly coextensive with a friction strap disposed in overlying relationship with respect thereto. Mounted on the interior of the forward extremity of such housing and strap are a pair of friction pads. Sandwiched between such pads is the rear extremity of an elongated friction bar projecting rearwardly from a mount on the towing vehicle trailer hitch. A tensioning control device is mounted on the forward extremity of the housing in overlying relationship with respect to the strap and includes a pusher contacting such strap along its longitudinal center line to urge it toward the opposed wall of the housing to thereby maintain a uniform compressive force on the friction pads. An adjustment screw is provided for periodically adjusting the compressive force maintained by such tensioning control device. In the preferred embodiment, a quick release is provided for releasing the compressive force of the tensioning control device to thereby provide for free movement of the friction bar relative to the friction pads.
