ABSTRACT:
A vehicle towbar assembly includes a pair of face plates fastened to the towbar frame and abutting the front bumper of a towed vehicle. A slide adjustment member secured to the face plate rests on the top of the bumper to hold the towbar frame up. Tow chains are used to secure the vehicle frame to the towbar frame. The slide adjustment member has a body portion and a T-shaped slot defined by a pair of fingers which extend from the body portion of the adjustment member. The face plate is disposed within the slot with the fingers encompassing the face plate. When the slide adjustment member is substantially perpendicular to the face plate, the adjustment member will readily slide up and down on the face plate. When the slide adjustment member is canted on the face plate, the face plate will bind in the slide and remain in a fixed position.
