ABSTRACT:
A towing device support is disclosed. The invention features a telescoping assembly having an inner telescoping member slidably disposed within an outer telescoping member. The invention further comprises a latching arm which, in cooperation with a plurality of dimples formed upon an outer surface of the inner telescoping member, restricts the sliding movement of the outer telescoping member relative to the inner telescoping member in at least one direction. When a towing device, fitted with the invention, is lifted, the telescoping assembly contracts. When the lifting motion is stopped, the invention suspends the towing device in the air, facilitating alignment and hitching by one person.
