ABSTRACT:
A ball hitch connector apparatus adapted for use with a conventional ball hitch socket is provided. The ball hitch connector has a lower support base with an upwardly extending stub shaft portion. The connector also includes a generally spherical body with a bore upwardly extending adapted to receive the stub shaft portion of said support base. The spherical body and the stub shaft each have transverse bores that can be aligned to receive a slidable latch pin. A radially expandable retention ring is movably mounted in a groove in the transverse bore of the spherical body which selectively engages the latch pin to prevent withdrawal of the latch pin from the spherical body.
