SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns that of a new and improved apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware currently found on my pickups, vans, SUV's, recreational vehicles, and automobiles. The type of heavy duty equipment that could be attached to the apparatus of the present invention would include a heavy duty table, a work station, a vise, a spool and/or a winch, and a level working surface.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware in detail, it is to be understood that the electrical connection cover is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware is capable of other embodiments and being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regard as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware which has all of the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware which is of durable and reliable construction.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware which is economically affordable and available to the buying public.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which enables mounting of heavy duty equipment to existing trailer hitch hardware which provides additional benefits not present in the prior art.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment when considered with the attached drawings and appended claims.
