ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting a fifth wheel in case the vehicle to which it is attached spins out or backs up for a considerable distance. The device comprises a pair of rods which project rearwardly and downwardly from the bracket mounted on the vehicle; when the vehicle backs up or spins out and the fifth wheel is moved through a horizontal arc toward the rear of the vehicle, its tongue rides up onto one of the rods and is lifted off the ground. When it is out of contact with the ground it can no longer be moved toward the vehicle.
