ABSTRACT:
A standard ball and socket type of trailer hitch assembly is modified so as to provide means for automatically and positively locking the trailer hitch each time the trailer hitch ball is inserted into the trailer hitch socket. The socket receptacle of the trailer hitch is modified to receive a push rod which is actuated by contact with the ball of the hitch and in turn causes the latch to positively lock in place without requiring the operator to remember to move the latch into a positive locking position.
