DEFINITION

Classification: 414/483

About joint or other connection in structure (e.g.,., drawbar, frame, etc.) normally extending linearly, or planarly, from tow-engaging end of vehicle to axis of wheels of vehicle, and relative to said end:

(under subclass 482) Apparatus wherein the structure which transmits pulling force from the forward (i.e., towing-vehicle-engaging) end of the vehicle to the region of its ground-engaging wheels, which structure appears as a straight-line or a plane when in a pulling mode, includes an axis of pivot within its length, whereby the load-receiving portion is pivotable relative to said forward end.
