Abstract
An improved ball mount head is intended for use in a weight distributing hitch assembly for towing a trailer behind a vehicle. In one embodiment, the ball mount head includes at least one pair of substantially aligned sockets for receiving a mounting trunnion associated with a spring bar. At least one of the sockets in the aligned pair is substantially C-shaped to permit easy, tilt-in mounting of the corresponding spring bar. Additionally, the ball mount head may be positioned at a selected tilt angle to aid in distributing the tongue weight of the trailer between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle. To fix the tilt angle, an interlocking relationship is formed between a serrated portion of the ball mount head and a washer having a matching side face associated with a connector for connecting the ball mount head to the hitch bar.
