Abstract

See full text

A portion of a hitch secured to the bed of a truck is flat so that when the hitch is not being used the hitch will not interfere with usual loading. A base is secured to the bed of a truck, and lateral spacing bars rigidly support a hold-down plate a short distance above the base. A removable, interchangeable portion connected to a goose-neck arm has a disk to be contained for rotation while the hitch is coupled, laterally between the spacing bars and vertically between the hold-down plate and the base. The peripheral edge of the disk guides it between the spacing bars to center the portions being coupled. The interchangeable portion adapts different types of couplings of connecting arms to the portion attached to the truck. Preferably, a disk or a plate is connected to the lower disk and spaced over the upper surface of the hold-down plate.
