Hitch coupler

A hitch coupler, comprising:

• a frame, comprising:
• a back plate;
• a first plate connected to and extending from the back plate, the first plate having a first aperture extending therethough;
• a second plate connected to and extending from the back plate at a position spaced from the first plate, the second plate having a second aperture extending therethrough;
• and
• a third plate connected to and extending from the back plate at a position spaced from the second plate, the third plate having a third aperture, the second and third plates cooperating to form a gap therebetween adapted to receive a drawbar therein;
• a pin extending through the first aperture of the first plate, the second aperture of the second plate and the third aperture of the third plate, the pin adapted to slide within the first, second and third apertures between an extended position and a retracted position;
• a spring member biasing the pin towards the extended position;
• and
• a handle member selectively coupled to an end of the pin between a first configuration, wherein the handle may be rotated with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pin, and a second configuration, wherein the handle is prevented from rotating with respect to the pin, the handle member includes a stop member that abuts a portion of the pin when the handle member is coupled to the pin in the first configuration, and wherein the stop member is free to rotate with respect to the pin when the handle is coupled to the pin in the second configuration.

A hitch coupler, comprising:

• a frame, comprising:
• a back plate having a first pair of apertures extending through the back plate and each having a first diameter, a second pair of apertures extending through the back plate and each having a second diameter that is substantial similar to the first diameter, the second pair of apertures being spaced below and located inwardly of the first pair of apertures, a third pair of apertures extending through the back plate and each having a third diameter that is substantially similar to the first diameter, the third pair of apertures being spaced below the second pair of apertures and located inwardly of the first pair of apertures, and a fourth pair of apertures extending through the back plate and each having a fourth diameter that is larger than the first diameter, the fourth pair of apertures overlapping with the third pair of apertures and aligned with the first pair of apertures;
• a first plate connected to and extending from the back plate, the first plate having a first opening extending therethough;
• a second plate connected to and extending from the back plate at a position spaced from the first plate, the second plate having a second opening extending therethrough;
• and
• a third plate connected to and extending from the back plate at a position spaced from the second plate, the third plate having a third opening, the second and third plates cooperating to form a gap therebetween adapted to receive a drawbar therein;
• a pin extending through the first opening of the first plate, the second opening of the second plate and the third opening of the third plate, the pin adapted to slide within the first, second and third openings, between an extended position and a retracted position;
• and
• a spring member biasing the pin towards the extended position.
