ABSTRACT:
A coupling apparatus for allowing one person to releasably connect a first object to a second object, which second object has a first engageable portion, a second engageable portion and a third engageable portion, is disclosed. The coupling apparatus includes a first connector mechanism associated with the first object for releasably engaging the first engageable portion of the second object. The coupling apparatus further includes a second connector mechanism associated with the first object for releasably engaging the second engageable portion of the second object. The coupling apparatus further includes a third connector means associated with the first object for releasably engaging the third engageable portion of the second object. Also included in the coupling apparatus is a support member, such as a frame, for interconnecting the first, second and third connector mechanisms. So that the first, second and third connector mechanisms may be operated by a person located in the driver's seat of the vehicle constituting the first object, the coupling apparatus includes a first control arm extending from the first connector mechanism to a position adjacent the driver's seat, a second control arm extending from the second connector mechanism to a second position adjacent the driver's seat, and a third control arm extending from the third connector mechanism to a third position adjacent the driver's seat.
