ABSTRACT:
A Rotating Multiple Ball Trailer Hitch for mounting to motor vehicles and more specifically to motor vehicles utilizing a receiver type hitch is disclosed. This hitch consists of a U bracket welded to a receiver type hitch insert tube. A rotating platform fits inside the inner surface of the U bracket and is held in place by pivot bolt. This platform is bolted in an off centered position within the U bracket. The platform is further supplied with alternate position lock pin holes on the rear of the platform and trailer ball mounting holes on the front sides of the platform as well as a standard hitch pin hole in the front center of the platform. The rotating platform is held in the U bracket by a pivot bolt and is then further pinned in position with a standard pin and clip. By use of the U bracket and the off center mounting arrangement the strength of the hitch is maximized while its size is minimized. The disclosed hitch may also be modified for mounting directly to the bumper of a vehicle.
