ABSTRACT:
An assembly for locking a trailer hitch to a trailer ball. The inventive device includes a mounting plate securable between a hitch ball and a vehicle hitch. A trailer tongue securing assembly is pivotally mounted to the mounting plate and can be pivoted over the hitch ball to capture a trailer tongue therebetween. A ball securing assembly is pivotally mounted to the mounting plate and can be positioned over a mounting shank of the ball to preclude removal of the ball. A lock assembly extends between the ball securing assembly and the trailer tongue securing assembly to preclude unauthorized or unintentional decoupling of the hitch.
