ABSTRACT:
A ball hitch apparatus is provided for connecting a towing and a towed vehicle. The hitch provides a durable, snug socket to ball connection which is capable of fast hookup without tools and is particularly useful with construction or farm machinery. The hitch includes a lever connected for pivoting an eccentric cam into position for maintaining a ball in a socket. A resiliently urged locking device automatically secures the lever. The locking device can be manually released to permit lever movement to a disconnect position.
