ABSTRACT:
A gooseneck trailer hitch locking device for obstructing a gooseneck coupler to prevent undesired coupling by a towing vehicle, the locking device comprising lock bodies cooperating with and obstructing the front and rear facing portions of a gooseneck coupler, a lock pin securing the lock bodies to each other, and a lock device for preventing access to the lock pin and undesired removal of the lock bodies from the coupler. The lock bodies include apertures which can be aligned with each other and with a threaded bore centrally disposed in a downward projection extending from one of the lock bodies. The lock pin is threadably received by the bore and can be extended into the aligned apertures in the lock bodies when aligned to secure the lock bodies to each other. The downward projection includes aligned openings having central axes generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the threaded bore, which openings are adapted to receive the shackle of a padlock. The padlock prevents access to the lock pin and undesired removal of the lock bodies.
