Claim:
A securing assembly for use between a bike having a rear wheel provided with a rod extending transversely through and out of two opposite sides of a hub and a bike trailer having a bracket with two arms extending out of the bracket, the securing assembly comprising: a securing body adapted to be integrally formed with each of the two arms of the bracket, provided with a gap defined in the securing body and composed of two plates each provided with an elongated hole and a cutout to respectively correspond to and align with the elongated hole and cutout of the other plate of the securing body, and the elongated hole being composed of two large holes and a small hole being defined between and communicating with the two large holes; a hook pivotally and movably received in the gap such that when the hook is at a first position, the hook is able to align with an opening of the cutout so as to confine a free end of the rod after the free end of the rod is received in the cutout and when the hook is at a second position, the hook is able to open the cutout to release a confinement to the free end of the rod to allow the free end of the rod to escape from the securing body to allow disengagement between the bike trail and the bike; a pressing bolt extending through the elongated hole and a central hole defined in a central portion of the hook, being movable relative to the securing body and having a first head formed on one end of the pressing bolt and a channel defined in the other end of the pressing bolt; and a moving bolt being screwed into the channel to securely engage the pressing bolt and having a second head formed on one end of the moving bolt and the second head being provided with a diameter smaller than a diameter of either one of the two large holes and larger than a diameter of the small holes of the plates so that when the second head is received in either one of the two large holes, the second head is securely received in one of the large holes and the hook is thus fixed.
