ABSTRACT:
Towing attachments for attaching trailers to the end of various vehicles are disclosed, including a tubular sleeve attached to the vehicle, an extension bar having one end rotatably attached to the tow bar of the trailer while the other end is adapted to be releasably attached to the tubular sleeve and having a cross-sectional shape which is complementary to that of the tubular sleeve so that it may slide smoothly into same for attachment thereto, and a clamp for releasably clamping the end of the extension bar to the tubular sleeve, the clamp including a fixed trunnion extending from the tubular sleeve and a resilient clamp affixed to the extension bar so that the resilient clamp can be releasably clamped to the fixed trunnion when the extension bar slides into the tubular sleeve, the resilient clamp being pivotable between a first position in which it does not interfere with the sliding of the extension bar into the tubular sleeve and a second position in which it prevents the extension bar from being slidably released from the tubular sleeve, and furthermore so that the tubular sleeve can be located inwardly with respect to the end of the vehicle to which the trailer is to be attached.
