Abstract
A system for connecting trailer towing components may have a pin having a first leg and a second leg. The system may also have a torsion bar having a first set of splines, and a main beam for a trailer. The main beam may have an insert adapted to selectively receive the torsion bar therein. The main beam may also have at least one guide aperture adapted to selectively receive one of the pin legs. The system may also have a secondary beam adapted to be selectively located at least partially within the main beam. The secondary beam may have apertures adapted to receive at least one of the legs of the pin and the torsion bar.
Claims18
A system for connecting trailer towing components, comprising:
- a pin having a first leg and a second leg,
- a torsion bar having a first set of splines,
- a main beam for a trailer, said main beam, comprising:
- an insert adapted to selectively receive said torsion bar therein, and
- at least one guide aperture adapted to selectively receive one of said pin legs therein,
- a secondary beam adapted to be selectively located at least partially within said main beam, said secondary beam having apertures adapted to receive at least one of said legs of said pin and said torsion bar.
A system for connecting trailer towing components, comprising:
- a main beam for a trailer having first and second guide apertures, and a hollow interior portion, wherein said first guide aperture is adapted to receive an insert therein, said insert having a first plurality of splines, wherein said second guide aperture is a slot;
- a secondary beam adapted to be selectively located within the hollow interior portion of said main beam, said secondary beam having first, second and third guide apertures therein;
- a U-shaped pin having first and second legs, wherein said first leg is adapted to be selectively located in said slot of said main beam and also into said first guide aperture of said secondary beam, and wherein said second leg is adapted to be selectively located in said third guide aperture of said secondary beam to secure said main beam to said secondary beam;
- and
- a torsion bar having a second set of splines that selectively engage with said first plurality of splines, wherein said torsion bar is adapted to be selectively located in said second guide aperture of said secondary beam to secure said main beam to said secondary beam.
A system for connecting trailer towing components, comprising:
- a pin having a first leg and a second leg,
- a torsion bar having a first set of splines,
- a main beam for a trailer wherein said main beam is adapted to selectively receive said torsion bar therein, wherein said main beam has at least one guide aperture adapted to selectively receive one of said pin legs therein,
- a secondary beam adapted to be selectively located at least partially within said main beam, said secondary beam having apertures adapted to receive at least one of said legs of said pin and said torsion bar.
