ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a safety towing coupler having a buffer rod, a spring, two annular bodies, two connection rods, two extension rods, two sleeve pipes and two connection hooks. Each connection hook has an eccentric hole and an inverted hook. The safety towing coupler also includes a pair of steel cables, each cable having an annular joint at each end thereof. One end of each steel cable extends through the connection hook into the extension rod where it is secured by pins. The steel cable passes through the eccentric hole, attaches to the vehicle to be towed and the free end of the cable then attaches to the inverted hook by means of its annular joint. The connection hook comprises forked portions, each having a groove therein, and the steel cable passes through these grooves. The spring, which surrounds the buffer rod, is prevented from movement of the buffer rod by annular bodies.
