ABSTRACT:
A placard or light accessory support (20) is provided for installing in and substantially concealing the opening of a hitch socket (22, 118). The support (20) includes an elongated tongue (28) having an attachment arm (34) and a mounting plate (44), as well as a sleeve (32) which can be used as needed. The support (20) can be adjusted to snugly fit into the opening of 1 1/4" (118) or a 2" (22) hitch socket by way of a sleeve (32) which receives the arm (34) for the larger hitch socket (22); when the smaller socket is employed, the arm (34) is directly telescoped therein without the use of the sleeve (32). The arm (34) is also provided with a specially configured, "FIG. 8" passageway which is oriented so as to receive a locking pin (23a, 119a) in different portions thereof, depending upon whether the support (20) is used with the larger socket (22) or smaller socket (118). The support (20) is moreover adapted to support a variety of accessories, such as a license plate (88), bumper sticker or similar display item (110), or an electrically operated light (132).
