ABSTRACT:
A trailer and vehicle restraining apparatus therefore providing secure attachment of at least one vehicle to the trailer. The apparatus has a body with a flange extending outwardly therefrom with a restraining member being received for slidable movement along at least a portion of the body between a receiving position and a restraining position. A finger extends outwardly from the restraining member for movement relative to the flange. When the restraining member is in its receiving position, a first gap is defined between the finger and the flange, and when the restraining member is in its restraining position, a second gap is defined between the finger and the flange. The second gap is less than the first gap to facilitate restraining the vehicle to the trailer.
