ABSTRACT:
A cam actuated apparatus is provided for frictionally controlling trailer sway. The apparatus includes a support frame mounted to the trailer and accommodating an elongate sway bar, which bar pivotally engages and extends rearwardly from a ball mount on a standard trailer hitch. A brake assembly is mounted to the support frame and includes first and second brake components sandwiched about the sway bar. The brake components are mounted so as to be selectively compressible and separable with respect to one another and the sway bar. A cam element is mounted to the support frame such that the cam element is axially pivotable. The cam element is pivotally driven, such as by a handle or a motor driven worm gear, into a selected one of a plurality of positions. A resilient biasing assembly interengages the cam element and the brake assembly and is responsive to pivoting of the cam element into a selected position for applying a corresponding degree of compressive force to the first and second brake components. As a result, frictional adjustment between the brake components and the sway bar may be adjusted.
