ABSTRACT:
A vehicle tow bar includes a transverse cross member which mounts one elongated leg assembly in fixed position at one end of the cross member and a second elongated leg assembly for movement along the cross member between a collapsed condition closely adjacent the first leg assembly and an erected, operative position at the opposite end of the cross member. Stub shafts reinforce the ends of the cross member at the points of maximum stress. The ends of the leg assemblies opposite the cross member are connected to an apex frame which detachably mounts a socket coupler component of a ball and socket trailer hitch. Each leg assembly includes telescopic sections for adjusting the length of the leg assembly, and a locking pin mechanism releasably interconnects the telescopic sections. A limit pin removably connects the telescopic sections of the one elongated leg assembly and functions when interconnecting the telescopic sections to prevent the sections from separating beyond the position of the locking pin, and functions when removed from the leg assembly to allow separation of the telescopic sections beyond the position of the locking pin, to allow collapsing of the leg assemblies to storage position. A stop pin on each assembly prevents the telescopic sections from disconnecting.
