A securing chain attachment assembly is shown and described. The securing chain attachment assembly may include an attachment body selectively and rotatably securable to a towing vehicle, the attachment body rotatable along a first plane. The securing chain attachment assembly may also include a securement member attached to the attachment body, the securement member capable of having selectively secured thereto a securement chain, where the chain attachment member is pivotal along a second plane, the second plane generally parallel to the first plane.

A tie down apparatus that may be utilized for securing an item, such as a safety chain, wherein the tie down apparatus may be used with a hitch mounting system. In one embodiment, the tie down apparatus may include a receiving member, a tie down member, and a clocking member. The receiving member may include an opening located there through. The tie down member may include at least one aperture, wherein the tie down member may be capable of being located and rotated within the receiving member. The tie down member may be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise. The locking member may include at least one leg capable of being housed within the aperture. The locking member may engage the receiving member once the tie down member is rotated, thereby trapping the item within the tie down apparatus.

A coupling device for interconnecting a tensile restraint member and a structural component, the coupling device including: a body adapted to be supported from the structural component; and a linkage having: a proximal end adapted to be rotatably coupled to the body such that the linkage or proximal end is rotationally displaceable relative to the body about a transverse axis; and a distal end configured such that said tensile restraint member is connectable thereto.

Various removable tie-down anchor apparatuses and associated methods are described. In one example, a safety chain anchor apparatus can include a body member having an aperture and a latching member operable to be inserted into an elongate slot of the receiver, and a locking member movably coupled to an outside portion of the body member that allows the locking member to be in: an interference position that obstructs a portion of the aperture when the latching member is in the unlatched orientation, and an unobstructed position that substantially exposes the aperture when the latching member is in the latched orientation.

A shopping cart coupling system for motorized scooters including a base hooking assembly with a pulling assembly and a hooking assembly. Base hooking assembly includes a first eye bolt, a second eye bolt attached to a rear portion of a motorized scooter. Pulling assembly includes a first chain and a second chain attached to the first and second eye bolts by means of carabiner hooks. First and second chains are attached in a cross orientation to a front portion of a shopping cart by means of swivel hooks. The swivel hooks can be disengaged from the shopping cart to be attached to the first and second eyebolt for convenient transportation.

Disclosed herein is a mounting arrangement for securing vehicle recovery equipment to a vehicle. The mounting arrangement comprises a strap extending between a free end and a securable end and the strap is secured to the anchor system at or proximal to the securable end. The free end extends around at least a part of the vehicle recovery equipment to retain the vehicle recovery equipment. The mounting arrangement also comprises a releasable connector for securing towards or proximal the free end of the strap. Loosening of the releasable connector deploys the vehicle recovery equipment. The mounting arrangement comprises an anchor system comprising an anchor strap extending around a part of the vehicle allowing the anchor system to be mounted at different parts of the vehicle. Also disclosed is a method for mounting the vehicle recovery equipment to a vehicle.

Apparatus, systems and methods for detachable drag wheel assemblies for off-road vehicles that provide protection by facilitating passing across obstacles that could strike the rear of vehicle, while providing a simple attachment point for towing. In one illustrative embodiment, a wheel may be rotatably disposed in a housing, with the wheel extending through an open rear portion and an open bottom of the housing. A post may extend forward from the housing for placement in a receiver hitch on an off-road vehicle, with the post and housing configured to extend to or past the rear of the off-road vehicle when secured in the receiver hitch. A tow rope connector may be disposed on an upper surface of the housing and include a body portion with a rounded cross-section with a concave exterior sidewall and an upper cap extending past the sidewall.

A loop bridge trailer securing system for facilitating the secure attachment, removal, and reattachment of safety chains while securing trailer masts to truck beds. The system includes a safety chain assembly, a trailer mast anchor functioning as a loop bridge device, and a grabber handling tool. The grabber handling tool comprises a metal tube structure with a spring-loaded grabber at one end, an adjacent perpendicular member with parallel elevated tracks, and a locking pin mechanism. The trailer mast anchor elevates a spring-loaded loop in the truck bed, allowing for easier insertion of chain hooks. The system enables users to perform safety chain operations from ground level, eliminating the need to climb into the truck bed and enhancing both safety and efficiency during trailer securing procedures.
