ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer mechanism for controlling swaying of a towed vehicle with respect to the corresponding towing vehicle. A first section of a cable is coupled to one lateral side of a rear end of a towing vehicle and is coupled to a force transferring mechanism mounted on the towed vehicle. A second section of the cable passes from the force transferring mechanism and is coupled to the opposite lateral side of the rear end of the towing vehicle. In this manner the cable effectively transfers a force indicative of the relative angular movement between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle to the force transferring mechanism. A force absorbing mechanism is coupled to receive an output force from the force transferring mechanism and serves to dampen sudden forces applied to the force transferring mechanism.
