Reversible Kingpin for Trailers.

Abstract

A novel adjustable skid plate assembly which permits any trailer so equipped to be towed by any sufficiently-powered draft vehicle having a different lower fifth wheel height than the trailer. By rotation of the entire skid plate assembly different skid plates are presented for use with the draft vehicle. A latch means or counter weight means is provided to eliminate unwanted rotation of the assembly. (Author)
