ABSTRACT:
A bumper hitch has a clamp applied to a vehicle bumper by a flexible strap and hooks. The flexible strap is initially wound on rotatable cross members to initially engage the hooks with the upper and lower, inner edges of the bumper. Screws at opposite ends of the cross members are tightened to move the cross members in vertical slots, one towards the other, to tension the straps, and causing tight engagement of the hooks with the edges of the bumper, to securely mount the clamp on the bumper. A plate on the clamp has a hole to receive a pin on the companion hitch part. The pin is vertically disposed at the end of a support arm which is inclined relative to a connector plate, enabling inversion of the pin and arm to effect a connection at different elevations.
