ABSTRACT:
The invention is a protector for a trailer hitch assembly having a trailer hitch ball supported on a trailer hitch neck. The protector includes an integral covering member having an outer covering member surface and an inner covering member surface. The inner covering member surface defines an internal region capable of receiving the trailer hitch ball. An aperture in the covering member is defined by a plurality of resilient covering member fingers to receive the trailer hitch ball within the internal region of the integral covering member. The covering member fingers resiliently engage the trailer hitch neck to position the covering member relative to the trailer hitch assembly. The outer covering member surface may be established in the shape of a commercial product, such as an oil container, an outboard motor power head or the like. Written or color indicia may be included on the outer covering member surface distinctive of a trademark of the commercial product.
