ABSTRACT:
A demountable hitch for quickly facilitating the engagement, lift and tow of one end of a vehicle which includes a transverse tow bar pivotally connected to a truck and a mounting rib upstanding thereon. The rib is demountably connected to a central portion of the tow bar and adapted for simple interlocking engagement of the towed vehicle rearwardly of the bumper thereon. The rib is encapsulated in a resilient material for increasing the frictional engagement with the bumper or vehicle frame to facilitate immediate towing while reducing the noise associated with the initial hook-up. In this manner a parked vehicle can be hitched and towed in a minimal amount of time and with a minimum of noise, which is particularly advantageous in times of emergency.
