ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a towing device for motor vehicles, preferably passenger cars, having a rear bumper which to a great extent comprises a soft, energy-absorbing portion which is attached to a rigid beam attached to the vehicle. The towing device comprises an upwardly directed portion which is shaped as a ball and connected to the bumper and which, in a storage position, is covered by a removable or slidable portion of the bumper. The ball portion is connected to the bumper beam in such a manner that it can be moved between the storage position in which it at least to a great extent is withdrawn into a storage space in the bumper beam and a towing position completely outside of said storage space, said removable or swingable portion being formed of a portion of the soft portion of the bumper.
