Title: Fifth wheel coupler having a moveable locking member and a pivot mount on opposite sides of a slot
Inventor: TIMMINGS NEIL
IPC: B62D53/12
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: A vehicle coupling device comprises a coupling plate (12) provided with a slot (24) for reception of a waisted portion (25) of a king-pin (28) of a trailer, a pivotally mounted coupler jaw (30) for holding the king-pin (28) in the slot (24) and a locking bar (46) for locking the coupler jaw (30) in its closed position.  The locking bar (46) is pivotally mounted at the opposite side of the slot (24) to the mounting of the coupler jaw.  This decreases the load required to manually set the locking mechanism in its cocked position (ready for engagement of a king-pin (28) by a coupler jaw (30)).
