ABSTRACT:
A shock-absorbing adapter for connecting a fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer to a towing vehicle including a lower plate, an upper plate, first and second guide means, cushioning means, a first coupling mechanism for releasably connecting the lower plate to the towing vehicle, and a second coupling mechanism for releasably connecting the upper plate to the fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer. The upper plate is operably displaceable relative to the lower plate to thereby compress the cushioning means and responsively cushion relative movements between the first coupling mechanism and the second coupling mechanism.
