A tow bar apparatus for a motorized utility cart is provided. The apparatus allows a utility cart user to tow a shopping cart. The tow bar is adapted to attach to any shopping cart by way of a universal attachment member. The opposing end of the apparatus includes a pair of spaced of laterally spaced attachment arms which are joined to a transverse attachment bar having clamps adapted for connection to the shopping cart. The universal attachment member is removably attached and may be modified to accommodate a specific make and model of scooter. The apparatus is reconfigurable depending upon the physical layout of the utility cart. An articulating arm is connected between the attachment member and the attachment arms to allow for an articulating attachment to the shopping cart.

An offset towing apparatus for an implement supported by rear wheels rotating about an axis perpendicular to the operating travel direction. A tow arm connects between a vertical towing pivot axis at the towing vehicle and a vertical implement pivot axis at the implement hitch. A middle portion of the tow arm is pivotally attached about a vertical beam pivot to a beam on castor wheels. A strut attached to the implement pivot axis extends laterally and a bar is attached to the strut about a strut pivot axis and extends forward parallel to the tow arm to a front end attached to the beam about a bar pivot axis. The tow arm, the beam, the strut, and the bar form a parallel linkage between the beam pivot axis, the implement pivot axis, the strut pivot axis and the bar pivot axis allowing the implement to pivot to either side.

A collapsible trailer that includes a longitudinal beam, a first transverse beam, a second transverse, and a third transverse beam. A first vertical arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the first transverse beam and a second vertical arm is pivotally connected to a second end of the first transverse beam. A third vertical arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the second transverse beam and a fourth vertical arm is pivotally connected to a second end of the second transverse beam. A fifth vertical arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the third transverse beam and a sixth vertical arm is pivotally connected to a second end of the third transverse beam. A first wheel is connected to the fifth vertical arm and a second wheel connected to the sixth vertical arm.

Hitches are disclosed relating to towing that include a sleeve, a receiver stem, a post and a coupler. The post may slide within the channel allowing the hitch to be adjustable. The coupler may be a socket configured to receive a ball. The post and the coupler may be in alignment. The described hitches may be useful for the towing of vehicles having a receiver tube.

A structure for use with a trailer tongue including two pairs of opposed sidewalls interconnected to one another to form an integral hollow rectangular structure that is adapted to receive and be secured to an end of a first rectangular tongue member. Each sidewall rotatably carrying a roller, at least a portion of each roller positioned in the interior space of the rectangular structure to substantially prevent contact between the inside surface of the rectangular structure and an outside surface of the second rectangular tongue member. The rectangular structure including a retainer for retaining a latch in a latch installed position, the retainer permitting selective actuation of the latch between the latch installed position and a latch uninstalled position by hand.
